Deep Value Sectors

Deep Value research identifies turnaround candidates. We look for sectors which have stocks that have been beaten down in price (underperforming Nifty 500) but are actually delivering Accelerating Earnings (PAT). This mismatch creates a Value Gap—where the business is improving, but the market hasn't noticed yet.
