Conclusion
In conclusion, the Railway sector remains highly appealing as a thematic investment, given its pivotal role in the country's development. However, the concern lies in valuation. With all stocks trading above their 5-year average P/E ratios and many nearing their 52-week highs, the situation is precarious.
Nevertheless, this shouldn't deter potential investors from considering railway stocks or funds heavily invested in them. We suggest initiating a SIP in light of the current scenario, allowing for unit accumulation during price dips. For those contemplating a lump sum investment, it's advisable to wait for more favorable valuations before committing significant capital.
