Dipan Mehta highlights capital goods and power as next market leaders
"If you strip out the earnings growth coming from some PSU banks, a large number of NBFCs and private sector banks have clearly disappointed. My understanding is that this industry is becoming highly competitive—a 'red ocean'—making it very difficult for banks to sustain the kind of growth rates we were used to four or five years ago," says Dipan Mehta , Director, Elixir Equities. What has been your read on the entire banking pack? The MFI segment pressure seems to be consistent across the board—of course, larger in magnitude for companies with a significant portion of their book in MFI exposure. How should investors approach banks right now? Do you see it as a bottom-up play? Do you buy the dips after earnings, or stick with the leaders? Dipan Mehta: One of the biggest disappointments this earnings season has been the banking sector . We expected net interest income and pre-provisioning profits to improve, but that hasn't materialized for various reasons, despite interest rate cuts and better liquidity conditions. We also thought that provisioning for NPAs would move in line with, or slightly above, the growth in pre-provisioning profits—but that hasn't happened either, which is a real cause for concern.

My understanding is that this industry is becoming highly competitive—a 'red ocean'—making it very difficult for banks to sustain the kind of growth rates we were used to four or five years ago. Although banks carry significant weight in the Sensex and Nifty—which is one reason why these indices aren't moving up—their earnings growth isn't impressive. Going forward, investors may need to look beyond this sector to achieve outperformance versus the broader market. Of course, there could be cyclical improvements due to lower interest rates or a strong festive season, but the era when large-cap banks delivered assured 15–20% growth seems to be over. And that's the problem—you rightly highlighted the massive weightage banks have in the indices and other metrics. Where do you see the next leadership emerging from? Not in terms of weightage necessarily, but at least forming a significant portion of the market? Dipan Mehta: That's a tough one. Banks aren't impressive right now, and the software sector has been disappointing, stuck in a secular stagnation with low single-digit growth. Pharma has performed well, and many companies have given good returns, but the threat of tariffs hangs over the sector, limiting the ability to assign higher valuation multiples. Live Events That leaves capital goods . While there is some earnings volatility, companies like L&T, KEC International, Kalpataru Power, ITD Cementation, and Afcons are broadly performing well. These companies are engaged in building infrastructure and capacity within the industry, and they remain an engine of growth. Investors could consider being overweight in this sector. Additionally, the power equipment, solar, and wind power segments have reported good earnings and are performing well. While their weightage in the Sensex and Nifty is small, they could emerge as leadership sectors. There's also a potential upside in two-wheeler companies due to a better monsoon and revival in demand. Cement did well last season too, but it's cyclical—profits were higher, but volume largely disappointed. So, overall, while there are pockets of growth, it's challenging to point to any industry that's consistently performing exceptionally across the board.

'Can't depend on dollar': Brazil President Lula says 'Brics should test a new currency' amid trade tensions with US
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has reiterated his support for a BRICS trade currency, saying Brazil "cannot depend on the dollar" and must remain open to testing alternatives for trade among member nations. In social media videos circulating widely, Lula clarified, 'We do not want to mess with the dollar, it's an important currency. But we can have a currency for trade in BRICS — it's an idea we have to test.' He added, 'Not seeking to undermine the dollar, [we] recognize it as an important currency,' while maintaining that BRICS should be open to 'testing a common trade currency.' Amid Trump's tariff war, the Brazilian president has again brought up the issue of BRICS countries having their own currency. Lula has also proposed that BRICS nations begin discussions on creating such a shared trade currency, arguing it would reduce global dependence on the U.S. dollar. 'We need to test it,' Lula said. 'If it fails, then I was wrong — but someone would have to convince me that I was wrong.' His remarks come amid escalating trade tensions with the United States.

He also confirmed he will not engage directly with U.S. President Donald Trump in light of the dispute. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Undo Escalating rhetoric from Washington In January 2025, Trump publicly threatened a 100% tariff on BRICS countries if they pursued the creation of a shared currency. 'Any attempt by BRICS to form a trade currency that bypasses the dollar will be met with full-scale tariffs. 100% — no exceptions,' he said during a campaign rally. In early July, Trump reinforced his administration's hardline stance via social media: 'Any country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy.' Live Events Push for monetary independence Lula emphasized Brazil's broader aim of reducing its dependency on the dollar. 'We want independence in our policies, we want freer trade, and things are progressing wonderfully. We are even discussing the possibility of creating our own currency, or perhaps using each country's national currency for trade, without relying on the dollar,' he said. In a televised interview with Jornal da Record TV, Lula said Trump's actions reflect discontent over BRICS' rising global influence. 'I am not obliged to purchase dollars to trade with countries like Venezuela, Bolivia, Chile, Sweden, the European Union, or China. We can use our own currencies. Why should I be tied to the dollar, a currency I do not control? It's the United States that prints dollars, not us.' Lula prioritizes outreach to other leaders Rejecting Trump's earlier offer to speak 'anytime,' Lula said, 'He does not want to talk.' Instead, the Brazilian president stated, 'I will call Xi Jinping, I will call Prime Minister Modi, I won't call Putin, because he can't travel now, but I will call many Presidents.' Despite ongoing tensions, Lula confirmed that Trump will still receive an invitation to COP30, the United Nations climate summit set to take place in Belém, Pará this November. Tariff decision deepens bilateral strain The 50% tariff affects a wide range of Brazilian exports, though exemptions include civil aircraft and parts, aluminum, tin, wood pulp, energy products, and fertilizers. Trump said the decision was in response to what he called a 'witch hunt' against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently facing charges related to an alleged coup attempt following the 2022 election. Calling the move 'the most regrettable' moment in Brazil, U.S. relations, Lula reaffirmed Brazil's intention to strengthen trade ties with BRICS nations and other global partners. Brazil remains open to negotiations Although Lula has ruled out direct talks with Trump, he emphasized that Brazil remains open to negotiations through international bodies. 'In 2025, we will resort to all possible measures, starting with the WTO, to defend our interests,' he said. Speaking at the White House, Trump said Lula was welcome to contact him at any time and expressed admiration for the Brazilian people. 'The people running Brazil did the wrong thing,' he added. Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad welcomed the tone of Trump's remarks, describing them as 'great,' and noted that Lula could be open to talks if approached through appropriate diplomatic channels. Call for diplomatic resolution Lula called for differences to be resolved through dialogue rather than economic retaliation. 'If he [Trump] had a disagreement, the right thing to do would be to raise the issue at a G20 meeting, have a civilized discussion, convince us, and talk it through. What he can't do is act like he owns everyone else,' he said.

TVS Ntorq 150 coming this September 1: Bigger engine, sportier features, and what else is expected
TVS Motor is gearing up to take the sporty scooter game up a notch with a new, larger Ntorq — likely to be called the Ntorq 150 — set for unveiling on September 1, 2025. The scooter will compete with the Yamaha Aerox 155, Aprilia SR175, and the upcoming Hero Xoom 160. A teaser released by TVS reveals a striking quad-projector LED headlight setup, with two units expected for low beam and two for high beam, mounted on the front apron rather than the handlebar. This aggressive front end is paired with a deep, bassy exhaust note, hinting at performance to match the looks.
