How to Diversify With Logistics & Supply Chain Stocks?
Diversification Within Logistics Pays Off
– Road, rail, air, sea = different risk/reward profiles – Supply chain = tech, warehousing, cold chain, 3PL – Avoid overexposure to one segment
Smart Diversification Strategy
– Mix asset-light and infra-heavy players – Add exposure to last-mile + B2B logistics – Include tech-first and cold chain companies
Why Diversification Matters
– One segment’s dip may be another’s gain – Balanced exposure to e-comm + infra cycles – Broader base = lower portfolio volatility
Pitfalls of Poor Diversification
– Overloading express delivery or road transport – Ignoring backend like warehousing or cold chain – Following IPO hype blindly without business analysis
Investment Insights
– Focus on 2–3 year horizon – Buy low, wait for re-rating
