Namaste!
Power stocks and the electric car maker Tesla have sky-rocketed since the Democrats took the Whitehouse in the year 2020. Tesla jumped 1300% (peak) from previous swing low of USD 29. Tata Power jumped 974% (peak) from previous swing low of INR 28.
I remember watching an analysis on YouTube, which emphasized that Democrats are more "environment conscious". If they won the election, they will do the Democrat thing i.e. make policies for the benefit of environment. So, power stocks, clean energy stocks (solar, wind) etc. will be benefited. It eventually happened, which can be seen in the prices of Tesla, Tata Power, Suzlon, Adani Power, etc.
Suzlon is an interesting case. Like Democrats and their environment policies in the US, India was also following the hype. Suzlon Energy's price increased 1300% (peak) since Nov 2020.
There is another reason, based on the shareholding pattern shared by the company on August 14, the promoters of the company held 13.3 percent stake in the company amounting to nearly 180 crore shares, of this stake, nearly 81 percent or 146 crore shares were pledged. Suzlon's promoters released pledge on 97.1 crore shares from SBICAP Trustee Company Ltd. It was another tailwind for Suzlon Energy Ltd.
Not a long time ago, we have been listening "electric" everywhere. The hype was great at that time, but soon AI (Artificial Intelligence) stolen the hype. I am not saying electrification will not happen. But, it might take a longer time than the market is realizing.
There is one more uncertainty, there is US election in Nov 2024.
So now I think it is a good time to book profits in Tata Power. It could be sold at Rs 260.
