Budget 2023: Experts recommend these 5 infra stocks to buy next week

Stock market experts said that due to expected special focus on the infrastructure sector and its allied industries, order book and margins of some listed infra sector companies are expected to improve in next 3-4 quarters. They said that after the budget proposals, things would be crystal clear but a smart investor always sees the writing on the wall. They advised positional investors to look at stocks like NCC, KNR Constructions, Cummins India, L&T, etc. stocks to buy ahead of budget 2023.

On why one should buy infra stocks ahead of the union budget 2023, Avinash Gorakshkar, Head of Research at Profitmart Securities said, “The upcoming union budget is going to be the last full budget of the incumbent central government. Looking at its past budgets, the government is expected to present a people-centric budget where special focus would be given to the job creation because the opposition is going hard on the Modi government on job creation front. AS infrastructure is one of the highest job creator sector after agriculture, it is expected to get special focus in upcoming budget.”

Avinash Gorakshkar went on to add that there would be 5 state elections falling this year as well. So, those states are also going to give special attention to job creation and for them also, infra sector would in focus. So, in next one and half years, infrastructure companies are going to remain in special focus of both state and central government. This would lead to improve in the order book and margins of some listed infra companies. So, it’s better to buy infra stocks ahead of the budget presentation for medium to long term or say for 9 months to 12 months.

Advising positional investors to buy infra stocks even if their perspective is for short term, Chandan Taparia, Derivative & Technical Analyst at Motilal Oswal said, “The upcoming union budget is going to focus on the infrastructure and its allied sectors as the government would like to showcase its achievements ahead of the fast approaching Lok Sabha elections next year.

Therefore, developmental projects and job creation would be in focus and hence I strongly believe that there would be some big announcement coming in from the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman that is going to fuel infra stocks after the presentation of budget 2023.”
