Contrarian Investing: It pays to be different; Identifying contrarian investment strategies that work

In this report, we have analyzed Contrarian Investing in two buckets: A] Popularity based on Consensus Ratings and B] Valuation multiples. Our findings suggest that:

A] Neutral to moderately popular stocks deliver significant outperformance.

B] Low P/E stocks deliver disproportionate returns, significantly beating the benchmark.

C] Strategy of investing in stocks for which analyst consensus has changed from “net sell to net buy” with a holding period of one year has delivered 24.1% annual returns over the last 10 years.

The application of our framework on sectors suggests that opportunity for contrarian investing is best in the Pharma sector. However, we still do not believe that the IT sector qualifies for Contrarian Investing yet.
