Shipbuilding stocks were up sharply on Thursday, with all three builders – Mazagon Dock, Cochin Shipyard and Garden Reach Shipbuilders hitting record highs. So far, the three companies have at least doubled their market capitalization in 2023. With Thursday’s decision, the government’s stake in the three companies combined exceeded Rs 50,000 crore.

“I was a big bull in these shipyard businesses. Mazagon Dock around the levels of Rs 200-250. I was advising people to buy and kept telling them to buy up to the level of around Rs 1,000. However, what the rallies we are seeing in this sector are challenging is logic. So now I would be extremely cautious at this stage on these stocks which have done really very well. The order book or profitability projections of these companies do not warrant these kinds of valuations, so I would be extremely cautious and ask investors to be careful when buying these stocks,” said Sudip Bandopadhyay of Inditrade Capital.
