Monthly Review Oct 2010

The benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) posted its first monthly decline in five months, but closed 0.5% higher on Friday, propped up by a late surge in ICICI Bank, which soared after posting better-than-expected quarterly earnings.

Investors await an eventful week — marked by US Federal Reserve’s two-day meet ending Wednesday, the Reserve Bank of India’s policy review on Tuesday and Coal India’s listing on bourses on Thursday — for directional cues. Most economists in a Reuters poll on Thursday expected the central bank to raise rates by at least 25 basis points to rein in stubbornly high inflation in the fastgrowing economy. It would be the sixth increase since mid-March.

Top private lender ICICI Bank rose 6.5%, its best single-day gain in more than 15 months, as it beat forecasts with a 19% rise in quarterly net profit, helped by robust credit growth and fewer bad debts.

The stock rose as much as 7.7% to Rs 1,174, its highest level since February 2008. The 30-share BSE index edged up 0.46%, or 91.30 points, to 20,032.34, with only nine of its components closing in the green.

“There is not much to read in this month’s decline. There were just bouts of profit sales after the rally we saw in September,” said Rakesh Rawal, head of private wealth management at broking firm Anand Rathi. It declined 0.2% this month, first monthly drop after May. The benchmark index had gained 11.7% in September which was its best gain in 16 months. “It is not a panic situation or a sign of big worry,” said Mr Rawal, adding he expected the Sensex to test a new record high by end-December. The 30-share index is still up 14.7% year to date, as foreign funds have invested $24.7 billion in Indian equities in the period. It is around 1,200 points away from its alltime high witnessed in January 2008.

Though most earnings did not disappoint the street, they lacked big positive surprises, which investors had started to factor in the price, Rawal said. India along with Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Phil-ippines slowed in terms of earnings momentum in the last three months from the previous three months while Hong Kong, China and Malaysia showed an improvement, UBS said in a note on Thursday. Cigarette-to-hotel business ITC firmed 2.3% as its September quarter net profit rose 23.5%.

Metals pack lost sheen as base metals fell across the board ahead of US GDP data later in the day and the Fed meeting next week. Non-ferrous metals producer Sterlite Industries and aluminium producer Hindalco dropped 1.1% and 2.8%, respectively, and Tata Steel , world’s seventh-largest maker of the alloy shed 2.4%.

The index reflects the expectation of Indian industry about the performance of companies, sectors and the economy. The survey found inflationary conditions, slackening consumer demand, cost and availability of labour and high interest rates as the top concerns

"I'm not sure whether this meeting can arrive at an agreement on this issue. It is difficult at this point in time, but we are still trying to negotiate," Mukherjee told reporters when asked about the status talks on currencies and current account targeting by G20 central bank and finance chiefs in South Korea.

Foreign funds have made heavy purchases of Indian equities this year.

The Sebi data includes FII inflow through primary and secondary market route.

A sizable chuck of FII inflow this year is from India-focused exchange traded funds as well as long-only funds.

Market Khabar / Outlook for 4th Oct 2010

Buoyed by the non-controversial judgment on Ayodhya, FII inflows and expectations over second quarter results, markets moved closer to their life-time peak seen last in 2008 during the week ended.

On the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the Sensex gained 400 points closing at 20,445 and the Nifty on the NSE ended 125 points higher at 6,143. With bulls firmly in control, midcap and small cap counters have begun dancing. It is pertinent to recall that markets have corrected usually after five or six quarterly gains. However this time momentum may propel markets to far higher levels than expected before correcting, say market players.

Weakness of the dollar has added impetus to equities and commodities. Impending Coal India IPO and the flurry of activity in the primary market may impact liquidity, fear observers.

Ahead of second quarter numbers stock specific activity is indicated. Barring negative cues from abroad, markets look good for few more weeks.

For the week ahead, chartists predict a trading range of 19,960 and 20,880 for the Sensex and 5,980 and 6,270 for the Nifty.

Crossover of resistances at 20,800 and 6,250 levels with volumes may see the benchmark indices test their life time peaks. Supports for the week exist at 20,220 and 20,040 and 6,070 and 6,010.

Buy good standard stocks that have stood the test of time.

Futures & Options

Exuberant volumes in the derivatives segment reflect strong bullish undertone in the markets. The October series has started with second highest ever at more than `1,33,000 crore. Fall in Nifty open interest and rise in open interest of stock futures shows the changing trade preferences of market players. More wild moves like the one seen in Orchid are not ruled out. Put/call ratio at 1.36 clearly indicates that many ‘shorts’ still exist.
* F&O rollover data indicates that defensive sectors FMCG and pharma are ‘preferred’ ones now. ITC, HLL and Titan look good for further gains. Biocon, Cipla and Piramal Healthcare may touch `400, `355 and `555.
* Metal stocks continued to shine on the back of weakness in dollar. Further gains indicated in Hindalco, Tata Steel and SAIL. As expected strong buying interest was seen in power equipment and capital goods stocks. Stay invested in the sectors and add on declines.
* After a slight wobble, IT counters are witnessing good accumulation ahead of their Q2 numbers. Infosys, TCS and HCL Tech from frontline and Firstsource and Rolta from second rung look good.
* Improvement in retail prices and expected changes in policy have triggered buying in sugar stocks. Buy on declines Shree Renuka, Triveni and Balrampur Chini. Punters are targeting cash group sugar counters.
* Selective buying was seen in infra stocks. Buy LITL, NCC and Punj Lloyd for target prices of `85, `185 and `150.
* True to their form auto stocks continued to be on fast track. Hold positions. Savvy traders are accumulating cement scrips. Contrarians tip targets of `140, `1,060 and `155 for India Cements, ACC and Ambuja Cements.
* Stock specific activity indicated in GE Shipping, Welspun Guj and Zee. GE Shipping may rally to `375 shortly, say insiders.

Stock scan

Neuland Labs is focused on the manufacture of APIs, contract research and contract manufacturing. The company has recently completed expansion of its facilities and has also diversified into peptides. It is also one of the first Indian API manufacturers to get PMDA approval of Japan. Good news on cards. Buy for a target price of `200 in medium term.

Tera Software has reportedly bagged large e-governance orders. Sources indicate that the company will be one of the beneficiaries of unique ID project. Strong buying in the counter indicates likely target of `90 in near term.

Fund managers are touting Indusind Bank as the next HDFC Bank in making. Successful completion of its recent QIP issue at `234.55 and rating upgrade by ICRA are indicators of makeover of the bank. With the QIP in progress, the bank is well capitalised and likely to witness aggressive growth in next few quarters. Buy for a target price of `400 in medium term.

Kamat Hotels engaged in the business of hospitality and allied businesses has firmly established four brands The Orchid, VITS, Gadh Hotels and Lotus Resorts. Its turnaround has put the counter under spotlight. Buy for short term target of `225.

Elder Pharma is one of the leading players in pharmaceutical formulations. Flush with funds after its QIP, it has acquired NeutraHealth, a UK-based supplier of nutrients and vitamins. Buy at current levels for target price of `550 in next few months.

Market Analysis & Out look 27 Sept 2010

Emboldened by better than expected domestic economic data, flood of FII money and announcement of measures by the government to increase foreign capital inflows to the debt market bulls were seen partying hard during the week that ended.

Both the benchmark indices the Sensex and the Nifty closed above 20K and 6K at 20045 and 6018 with gain of 450 points and 133 points respectively. After lying low for better part of the week heightened activity was seen in midcap and smallcap stocks by weekend. Expect fireworks in many counters say market watchers.

Despite indices within the striking distance of lifetime highs, retail investor participation has been dismal till date reflecting skepticism over the rally. With FIIs calling the shots and many domestic companies vying with each other to raise capital; liquidity is driving the market for the present. Outstanding F&O positions, stubborn inflation, high trade and current account deficits continue to be causes for concern.

Developments on Ayodhya front, F&O expiry and monthly auto sales numbers may dictate the market course in the coming week. Weekend rally in US markets may see markets open higher at the start of the week. Irrational exuberance is not ruled out.

For the week ahead chartists predict trading range of 19800-20560 for the Sensex and 5910-6240 for the Nifty. Short term supports for the indices are at 19800 & 19580 and 5950 & 5880. Expect a bumpy ride as indices accelerate towards their life time highs.

Futures & Options
With indices moving past 20,000 and 6,000 levels, volumes in the derivative segment have soared to record levels. Average daily turnover was at `1,42,000 crore. Open interest is at all time high of `220000 crore. High put/call ratio clearly indicates that short covering by bears may result in explosive moves. Keep close watch on rollovers to spot winners. It is pertinent to recall that markets have corrected unexpectedly as and when number of stocks in F&O ban list crossed 10-mark.
* Dormant FMCG counters witnessed smart rally on reports price hikes and domestic consumption story. Hold positions in HLL, ITC and Colgate for further gains.
n Auto stocks are revving up ahead of the second quarter results. Buy on corrections Tata Motors, Maruti, M&M and Ashok Leyland. Rumours of buyback or open offer from Suzuki are doing the rounds in Maruti.
* From the pharma pack, Lupin, Ranbaxy and Sun Pharma look good for targets of `435, `625 and `2050 in next few weeks.
* Cement stocks are attracting buying on every decline. Fresh uptrend in ACC, Ultratech and India Cements not ruled out.
* Realty counters are becoming slowly resilient to corrections. Buy on declines DLF and Unitech.
* Reliance pack continues to be underperformer in the present rally.
* Stay overweight in banking, autos, pharma and capital goods sectors. Selective buying suggested in cement, FMCG and metal sectors. Breakout targets of `180, `450, `1500 and `235 for IDBI Bank, Federal Bank, LIC Housing and IDFC are tipped by company watchers.
* Among the side counters looking good are Aban Offshore, Crompton Greaves, KFA, GAIL, JSW Holdings, Nagarjuna Fertilisers, Exide Industries, RILPower and Pantaloon Retail.
* Big losers of the week ended in the markets are Financial Technologies, BEML and HCC may witness relief rally.

Stock scan

Good sales momentum from the residential projects and Jaipur SEZ has triggered renewed buying in Mahindra Lifespace. Buy on declines for target price of `575. Marico’s inorganic growth to expand international business has started paying good dividends. The launch of new products such as functional foods and hair creams by leveraging its flagship brands Parachute and Saffola and by repositioning of Kaya from ‘cure’ to ‘care’, the company is transforming itself from a single product company to a diversified FMCG player. Buy for a target price of `175 in medium term.

A strong order book with good near term earnings visibility and investment by Norwest Venture and Xander in the company’s subsidiary make Sadbhav Engineering good investment bet for target price of `2000 in next few months.

Andhra Petro, Savera Inds, Patel Airtemp and Greaves Cotton are in the buying list of savvy players.

Surge in volumes of Andhra Petroleum clearly spells target of `40 in short term. Ahead of bonus, strong buying indicated in Savera Industries. Patel Airtemp, a manufacturer of process equipment and engineering goods, is attracting good buying interest.

Infrastructure equipment division of Greaves Cotton likely to report strong growth.

Market Khabar 20th Sept 2010

Markets remained buoyant during the week ended on the back of global liquidity flows, advance tax numbers and general positive sentiment. They had also ignored the hawkish monetary policy of Reserve bank.
The Sensex closed at 19,594 with a gain of 794 points and the Nifty ended 245 points higher at 5,885. Market breadth reveals out-performance by frontline stocks and subdued activity in midcap and smallcap stocks.

Weekend action in broader market indicates that the coming week may witness heightened activity in midcap and smallcap counters.

According to market players, all-time highs for indices are not ruled out before Diwali. Analysts say that the present exuberance in stock markets is not irrational and justified by fundamentals. FII inflows, economic growth story and corporate earnings performance are the reasons touted for the rally. Changes in WPI suggest that the government is keen on passing on changes in global crude oil prices or foodgrain procurement prices to consumers. Inflation continues to bother RBI and bankers do not rule out another hike in November. Barring any political turmoil ignited by Ayodhya verdict or unexpected weakness in global markets, markets may seek higher levels in the near term. For the week ahead, chartists predict a trading range of 19,360 and 20,130 for the Sensex and 5,760 and 6,040 for the Nifty. Expect the indices to take a pause before crossing 20,000 and 6,000 levels. Supports for the week are at 19,440 and 19,280 and 5,830 and 5,760.

Futures & Options

Mirroring the strong bullish undertone, robust volumes were seen in the derivative segment. Open interest continues to soar with punters building positions in stock futures. Option activity indicates strong support for Nifty between 5,750 and 5,825 band and resistance closer to the 6,000-level. All the sectoral indices ended in the green on a weekly basis reflecting the spread of the rally. Apart from the banking and oil and gas counters, sustained buying was seen in consumer durables, realty and healthcare stocks. Despite strong momentum in the banking sector, traders are advised caution at higher levels. From the pharma pack, Lupin, Ranbaxy Labs, Dr Reddy’s Labs and Sun Pharma may touch new highs. Stay invested for present. Renewed buying interest was seen in telecom and cement stocks. Buy on declines Bharti and Idea.

Reports of cartelisation and price hikes have given fillip to the cement counters. Buy on declines ACC, Shree Cements, Ultratech and Birla Corp for contrarian gains.

Dollar weakness prompted buying in metal and mining stocks. Tata Steel, National Aluminum, Bhushan Steel and Sesa Goa may touch Rs 640, Rs 450, Rs 2,300 and Rs 350 in the near term.

Comeback rally in RIL may witness mild setback due to the government’s reluctance to increase the price of KG Basin gas. Use correction for buying only. From power stocks, CESC and Ril Power may see a renewed buying interest. Among the side counters, Dabur, Biocon, Aditya Birla Nuvo, Ril Capital, Essar Oil, Suzlon, Adani Enterprises, Everest Kanto, and Godrej Inds looks good.

Stock scan

Albert David Ltd belonging to the Kothari group is the manufacturer of pharmaceutical formulations, infusion solutions, herbal products, bulk drugs and disposable syringes and needles. The company has tied up with the world’s largest manufacturer of amino acids, Ajinomoto Co. Inc. of Japan and has received the approval of US FDA for DMF of bulk drugs tolbutamide and chlorpropamide. An approved WHO supplier, the company exports to more than 20 countries. A book value of Rs 110 and trailing EPS of Rs 20 make the stock a good bet for the target price of Rs 225 in the medium term.

Hinduja Foundries Ltd is the largest automobile jobbing foundry in the country with a production capacity of 1,43,000 tonnes of grey iron casting and 3,000 tonnes of aluminum gravity die-casting. In India, one vehicle out of three in India is fitted with HFL made cylinder block casting. With a strong revival in the demand for castings on the back of a dramatic turnaround in auto sector and expansion of its Hyderabad and Sriperumbudur plants, the company is well placed to report a good performance in coming quarters. Buy on declines for a price target of Rs 250.

Savvy market players are accumulating Vishnu Chemicals, Parekh Aluminex, Essar Shipping Ports, Elder Pharma, Bilcare and Artson Engineering. True to predictions breakout gains are seen in Vishnu Chemicals. A target price of Rs 175 on cards. Parekh Aluminex is the largest manufacturer of aluminum foil products used for packaging. Recent completion of expansion has trebled the capacity. Buy on declines for a target of Rs 600.

Bse / NSE - 13 Sept 2010

The markets had its best session in several months on Monday.

The bulls went on a rampage picking up blue chip stocks thanks to the strong industrial production numbers that July threw up and on the back of encouraging economic data from the US and China.

Incidentally, all the reports, the data on industrial production in India, the US wholesale inventories data and the data on Chinese trade surplus, came out over the weekend, setting up a solid platform for the bulls even before the opening bell rang at the Indian bourses today.

Not to let go the opportunity, the bulls made a beeline at the frontline counters - with the banking sector attracting the most attention - and kept lapping up stocks till the very end.
The resultant surge in values of stocks was so sharp that the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty moved past 19,000 and 5700 levels and then way beyond, to record their best levels since January 18 2008.

While the Sensex, which zoomed to 19,243.44, ended the day with a gain of 408.67 points or 2.17% at 19,208.33, the Nifty closed at 5760, slightly off the day's high of 5770.60, with a gain of 119.95 points or 2.13%.

Mirroring strong gains posted by key bank stocks, the Bankex jumped by over 3.6%.
