Krishna Appala, Sr. Research Analyst, Capitalmind Research:

Bajaj Housing recently sought ₹6,500 crore through its IPO, but the market’s response was overwhelming, with bids exceeding ₹4 lakh crore. This massive interest is driven by factors such as strong parentage, reasonable valuations, and the current IPO euphoria. The big question now is: will the Bajaj Housing IPO trigger a sector-wide re-rating for NBFCs? At least for the moment, the signs point to yes.

Despite delivering healthy growth and maintaining robust asset quality, NBFCs have been overlooked by the market for the past three years. The sector faced margin pressures due to rising capital costs. However, with interest rate cuts anticipated and valuations remaining attractive, NBFCs now present a better risk-reward ratio.

On the growth front, retail loan growth, particularly in personal, auto, and mortgage loans, continues to be strong, while MSME and business banking portfolios are also expanding robustly. Though challenges like rising funding costs and heightened competition in corporate lending persist, the overall credit quality of the sector remains solid. NBFCs are optimistic, focusing on a balanced approach while seizing opportunities in MSME, housing, and consumer loans.

Prithviraj Kothari, Managing Director of RiddiSiddhi Bullions Limited (RSBL):

The US Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by 50 basis points next week, causing gold prices to reach fresh highs above $2550. Sentiment is optimistic after the US Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims climbed as predicted, above the previous week’s number. Following the report, the US Dollar Index, which measures the dollar’s performance versus its rivals, fell to a daily low of 100.5. We are going for a reduced interest rate environment; thus, gold is becoming more appealing. We believe we might have far more frequent cutbacks as opposed to a larger size.

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) cannot afford to look the other way despite retail inflation moderating into the tolerance band of +/- 2 per cent around the 4 per cent target, said RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das.

Domestic markets are likely to sustain their momentum ignoring words of caution from experts, due to heavy buying by foreign portfolio investors. FPIs are likely to step up further buying, as the US Fed is likely to cut rates in the next meet, they said. 

However, domestic economic IIP and inflation data were mixed.

Rajani Sinha, Chief Economist, CareEdge Ratings, said: “India’s industrial output growth increased to 4.8 per cent in July, following an upwardly revised growth of 4.7 per cent in the previous month. The moderation in growth of the electricity and mining sectors was balanced by an acceleration in the manufacturing sector. Consumption-related segments painted a mixed picture, as the output of consumer durables grew by 8.2 per cent, while non-durables output remained in the contractionary zone, falling by 4.4 per cent. An improvement in kharif sowing amidst a good monsoon bodes well for private consumption demand. Overall, a sustained and meaningful improvement in consumption and private capex remains critical for the performance of industrial activity. Read more
