Indian stocks join Asia’s ‘cheapest 4’ club: C. Suisse

Reuters: Credit Suisse says India has joined ‘the Cheapest-4 club’ as of Tuesday, meaning among the four most inexpensive markets in the Asia ex-Japan region.

The investment bank says in 14 previous episodes in which India joined the club, domestic shares went on to outperform in 13 of them, the exception being in 2003.

Credit Suisse highlights Tata Motors, Reliance Industries, Bank of Baroda and Sterlite Industries (India) citing valuations.

The company also mentions Wipro and HCL Technologies among its top picks in India, citing expectations for a corporate capex recovery. Credit Suisse says the key risk to its call is that India is ‘over-owned’ by foreign investors.
