Recently, a promoter of a tyre company in a lighter vein mentioned that one of the parts which ICE vehicles and Electric vehicles have in common is tyres. While it might appear to be an obvious statement , over the years, if one looks at the way tyre stocks have performed it has been much better than what it used to be, the cyclicality has gone away and there has been a re-rating. Now if tyre stocks are doing well then the companies which are supplying raw material to tyre companies are also witnessing tail winds. These are B2B players which are into manufacturing carbon black and because they are not consumer facing businesses, these companies don't come into the limelight even when they are doing well.
