Sterling Tools Ltd My Opinion
Sterling Tools Ltd is a Fasteners Company. Fasteners is a niche sector and not too many companies are listed in this sector. Products from this sector is consumed mainly by Auto sector and other similar industries. Auto Sector two wheeler and four wheeler (all of vehicles) use these products.
You can view it as Auto Ancillary Company as well but that is partly true. Some products do find use in other industry like Agricultural Equipment etc. India’s Auto story is still intact. People will continue buying the two wheeler and four wheeler out of necessity and show off both.
As the Auto Industry growth will progress so is Fasteners. I am bullish on this sector and am tracking one of the stock from this sector. In case you are interested then you should explore the sector companies before making a decision.
In case you are interested then you can track the company by adding it to your stock watch list. That way you can keep close eye on the Company.
