Speaking of stock markets, with interest rates rising up, both in India and globally, a good number of stocks have seen their PE multiples compress.

In some cases, such as in case of loss-making new age companies, this was long due.

When PE multiples correct, it is a good time for investors to lap up wonderful businesses at a fair, if not wonderful price. So that's exactly what Richa Agarwal talks about in the below video...how to assess growth quality and how much you should be willing to pay up for growth to not compromise margin of safety.

She talks about 3 stocks where growth potential seems good. Tune in to the below video to know more:

Adani group prepays more debt

Adani group on Sunday said it has prepaid share-backed promoter loans amounting to US $ 2.2 billion (bn) (about Rs 179.9 bn) taken against pledged shares of various group entities.

With this, group officials said the promoters have freed all equity pledged as collateral for margin-linked share-backed financing, ahead of the committed timeline of 31 March 2023.

Additionally, the group said it has also prepaid another loan tranche of US $ 500 million (m) (about Rs 40,907.5 m) as part of financing the acquisition of the group's cement assets, ACC and Ambuja Cement last year.

According to people in the know, promoter entities of Adani Group companies had an overall exposure of close to Rs 150 bn in margin-linked loans. Additional pledges were created, following the decline in Adani Group companies' share prices due to the Hindenburg Research report.

Yes Bank's lock in period ends today

Yes Bank share price is in focus today as three year lock-in for ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, IDFC First Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Federal Bank, etc. is ending today.

Now, these banks are free from the lock-in restriction that barred them from off-loading their shareholding in Yes Bank. After end of three-year lock-in, these banks are allowed to sell their stake and book profit as these banks had bought Yes Bank shares at around Rs 10 apiece.

According to stock market experts, end of lock-in period would mean high volatility in Yes Bank shares as crores of Yes Bank shares are now open for sale by these private banks.

If we add State Bank of India's (SBI's) stake with them, then the number of shares that may get offloaded is very high and hence retail investors are worried about big route in Yes Bank share price today.

However, stock market experts said that SBI and other banks have taken exposure in Yes Bank on instructions of RBI and hence it won't be easy for them to book profit and exit at once. They maintained that some profit booking can be expected and that is enough to bring high volatility in Yes Bank.

Speaking of private banks, it would be impossible not to mention HDFC Bank.

HDFC Bank is one that has always adapted to changing times.

It wanted to transform itself from a leader in the physical banking to a leader in online banking. Since then, HDFC Bank has constantly focused on going digital.

In 2004, only 10% of customer transactions were initiated through internet and mobile. The number has gone up to 92% in 2019.

It is a great example of a company which has taken advantage of its scale and embraced disruption rather than fear it.

These are traits that one should look for in picking stocks. They not only withstand the disruption but also gain from it in the long-run.

Blackstone to sell stake in Sona BLW Precision Forgings

With its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in June 2021, Sona BLW raised Rs 55.5 bn. Singapore VII Topco III, a subsidiary of Blackstone group, sold shares valued up to Rs 52.5 through fresh issue of equity shares of up to Rs 3 bn.
