The increase in credit costs has been an issue which has been bothering banks, some more, some less. Even the chairman of India’s largest bank had to come out and give a statement regarding it. However the question arises when these headwinds which are periodic in nature and part of the business cycle hits any sector what should be done.Should one move out of the sector? Should one continue to stay invested or should one buy more of the stock of that sector. The answer is dependent on one simple factor which is how large is the opportunity which that sector has. If the answer is that the opportunity is very large, then probably, it is the second and third option which one may look at.Probably in case of small finance banks, which are today reeling under the pressure due to guidance by one bank fit the bill.
