The Indian stock market has been experiencing a bullish trend, with mid-cap and small-cap stocks taking the lead over their large-cap counterparts. Amid this optimistic wave, one sector that has largely remained under the radar is the Ship and Ship-Building sector.
At Definedge, we recognised this potential opportunity and analysed an Equal Weighted Index for Ship and Ship-Building companies, available to clients using TradePoint or Zone Web.
The Equal Weighted Index for Ship and Ship-Building companies offers a balanced perspective by giving each stock an equal footing, irrespective of market capitalisation. This method mitigates the influence of larger companies dominating the index, providing a clearer picture of the sector’s overall performance.
The index’s recent performance reflects a promising upward trajectory, suggesting that investors are beginning to recognise the latent potential in this sector. Factors contributing to this trend include the government’s push for self-reliance (Aatmanirbhar Bharat), increased defence spending, and a revival in global trade, which has positively impacted the shipping industry.
