If you are putting fresh money into the market, it might be a good idea to stay with companies that don't have much to do with global supply chains and where the underlying product or service fulfills a “need” of people, or is “essential” in some way. The reason: With the ongoing Gulf war, we are not talking much these days about the impact of tariffs. But their impact will soon show up – both in terms of bottom lines as also the narrative on the street.

ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or Bankrupt - Part 54: Will manufacturing capability help this firm move into defence space?
The auto ancillary sector is being forced to answer a difficult question: When technology changes, which suppliers remain relevant and which get left behind? This company stands out because it is not built around one narrow-end market. It has automotive at the centre, but also has exposure to engineering, defence, aerospace and other industrial segments. That wider presence offers some support. Still, the main issue remains unresolved. A meaningful part of its current auto-linked basket belongs to the old combustion era, while its manufacturing capability may still travel into newer applications. This is less a collapse story and more a test of adaptation.

The markets should be in a happy frame of mind till the time the current ceasefire in the Gulf region holds. Not many may like us using the words “till the time”. The reason for our scepticism stems from the fact that we are dealing with President Trump. One never knows what can happen the next day. It is just 24 hours since the ceasefire was declared, and we already have someone like US Vice President JD Vance describing it as a “fragile truce”, along with reports of Iran asking for a safe passage fee. So, remain cautious till an enduring peace materialises.

ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or Bankrupt - Part 53: All vehicles need this auto ancillary’s product, but its EV future is still taking shape
This auto ancillary is not trying to be many things at once. It has stayed in one technical lane for years and built its business around a function every vehicle needs. That gives the story some stability. But it does not remove the risks. A large share of revenue comes from a few customers, the group is carrying unresolved contingent matters, and the gap between standalone and consolidated earnings shows the cost of building backward integration.
