Watch out for two extremes when you invest in banking, NBFC stocks

Watch out for two extremes when you invest in banking, NBFC stocks
NBFCs with large exposure to capital markets have been facing investors’ ire. Geojit, Emkay and IIFL Finance are trading barely 3-6% away from their 52-week lows. Plus, housing finance companies are also finding it difficult to attract investors. Be it a retail loan or institutional loan provider, some NBFCs are trading close to their low reached in the last one year. Housing finance companies are now reeling under increasing capital requirement. On the other hand, banks stay away from lending money to NBFCs while mutual funds - which had become a mainstay for NBFC funding - are also being asked to de-risk themselves to too much sector exposure.

Corporate Tax Rate - To Cut Or Not To? What Will New FM Do?
Will the new Finance Minister cut the tax rates for large companies from the current 30 per cent to 25 per cent in the Budget 2019, a promise made by her predecessor Arun Jaitley in Budget 2016? The government would need more money to finance the PM Kisan scheme. This can be achieved with higher tax collections. The cream of 7,000 companies contributes a lion’s share of corporate tax collection. Any cut in tax rate for large companies can hurt its welfare plans.
