Reliance Communications: Reduce Weightage -21Nov2010

Reliance Communications (RCom) is in a problem with its alleged involvement in the 2G spectrum scam. RCom is already undervalued but this latest problem can put pressure on the stock. This past week saw 10% drop in RCom’s stock, and based on new facts that came to light in last 2-3 days, we have reduced our holding in RCom. Its possible that RCom can fall another 10% from current levels to around Rs 130-135.

Thankfully, many other good stocks have also fallen 10% in the week, giving us an ideal shifting opportunity. Our top picks to make the shift are: BHEL and Tata Motors at current prices. Both these stocks are likely to continue delivering good profits and have no regulatory overhangs like in RCom. Once the air around RCom clears, then we will reconsider entering this stock.
