Prime Stock update: This automation play may be in takeoff modeย 

When a company, especially an MNC, discloses little by way of scheduled earnings calls or business information, save for its AGM, its stock price can also react only to earnings or move on visibility in prospects of the company.

Prime stock update: Are we still sweet on this sugar maker?

In August 2021, we recommended a sugar manufacturer, well placed to play the ethanol opportunity that was set to change the dynamics of the sugar sector in India. 18 months down the line, the ethanol opportunity has played out as we expected and we have more clarity on this front.

Prime Stocks: An update on a recommendation

In one of our stock recommendations last year, we analysed a company that was moving from โ€˜tonnage to technologyโ€™.
