• Welcome to the June 2025 edition of our Monthly Newsletter by OmniVista!

    We’re pleased to share a curated snapshot of the evolving market landscape, along with key updates on our portfolio performance and strategic insights.

    In this edition, explore: key investment highlights from the June 2025

    Investment Philosophy: “Not Stupid” > “Overly Smart”
    Inspired by Charlie Munger, OmniScience advocates risk-averse, safety-first investing.

    Focus on avoiding capital destroyers (overleveraged, consistently loss-making firms) rather than chasing speculative alpha.

    Core strategy: Diversification + Risk-Aware Stock Selection + Valuation Discipline = Sustainable Alpha.

    > > Macroeconomic Backdrop: Strong Fundamentals
    India is riding on strong macro tailwinds:

    Capital investment > ₹56 lakh crore over 5 years across roads, rail, defence, housing, and power.

    Policy support via Make in India, PLI, Gati Shakti, and easing monetary policy (3 rate cuts, repo now at 5.5%).

    Consumption boost: Lower taxes + rising disposable income.

    PMI (Manufacturing: 58.2, Services: 58.7) shows robust activity; inflation is moderate (CPI: 3.16%).

    >> Sector in Focus: Defence
    Massive capex growth (expected 16–17% CAGR till 2035).

    India’s defence budget may touch ₹30 lakh crore by 2035 (~3–4% of $10T GDP).

    Omni’s thematic portfolio Omni Bharat Defence trading at P/E 32.4 is relatively expensive — be valuation-conscious.

    > > Key Growth Vectors
    Banking & Financial Services

    Defence & Capital Goods

    Power & Infrastructure

    Railways & EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction)

    Digital Transformation & Manufacturing

    These are positioned at the intersection of macro growth and favourable valuations.

    > > Omni Smallcases: Attractive Relative Valuations
    Many Omni portfolios trade at single-digit to mid-teen P/Es, offering better valuation than broad benchmarks:

    Omni Bank on Bharat: P/E 9.4

    Omni Super Dividend: P/E 9.6, Div. Yield 3.5%

    Omni Capital Enablers: P/E 9.8

    Omni Flexicap Superstox: P/E 11.8

    Omni AI-Tech Global: P/E 22.8 vs Nifty IT P/E 27.9

    Contrast: Nifty Midcap P/E 32.8, Nifty Smallcap P/E 46.3, Nifty FMCG P/E 43.7

    >> Market Performance Snapshot
    Nifty 50: 11.1% (1Y return), Nifty Midcap 150: 10%, Smallcap 250: 8.4%

    Mid and small caps outperform on a 5-year basis: 34.1% and 37.7% CAGR respectively

    Key message: Don’t chase momentum — focus on intrinsic value.

    >> Video of the Month: Building a Multibagger Portfolio
    CEO Vikas Gupta explains the Scientific Investing Framework:

    Focus on Capital Multipliers (high-quality, undervalued firms).

    Avoid Capital Eroders and Imploders.
