Among the Magnificent Seven stocks, Tesla Inc TSLA is exploring major investments in India. Alphabet Inc Class C GOOG, Microsoft Corp MSFT, Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN and Meta Platforms Inc META already have major investments in India. Expect them to add to their investments in India.

Manufacturing Powerhouse

We previously shared with you that manufacturing is moving out of China and into India. India wants to be a manufacturing powerhouse.

Challenges

At present, India must overcome two hurdles to become a manufacturing powerhouse.

• India does not have a strong supply chain for materials comparable to China’s strong supply chain.
• India does not have a trained workforce on par with China.

On a positive note, India is rapidly training new workers and has a young demographic.

Technicals

In the short term, technicals are overbought. This means that investors need to be patient and wait for a pullback in the buy zone.

Valuation

One of the risks investors should be aware of is that India is an expensive market. This is due to great long term growth prospects. This is also another reason to buy only on a pullback in the buy zone.

Opportunity

In The Arora Report analysis, India is one of the best opportunities in large economies for the long term. In the short term, India is overbought and expensive.

Small Caps

Small caps are doing well.  In The Arora Report analysis, they will continue to do well. In India, over the long term, small caps may perform better than large caps.
