    Stock Market Today: Nifty surges on anticipation of upcoming interim budget, says Wright’s Sonam Srivastava

    Sonam Srivastava, smallcase Manager, Wright Research – Founder

    “The surge in the Nifty 50 can be largely attributed to investor optimism in anticipation of the upcoming interim budget, where significant allocations are expected in key sectors like infrastructure and energy. This optimism is not unfounded, as government spending in these areas typically signals robust growth prospects, thereby attracting investor interest. Additionally, specific sectors such as defence and railways are experiencing a surge, likely due to expectations of targeted fiscal stimulus. This sector-specific rally is a strong contributor to the overall index performance, as these sectors form a substantial part of the Nifty 50.

    Moreover, there’s a noticeable rally in cyclical stocks, driven by the broader economic outlook and expectations of growth, which often leads to increased investor confidence in these market segments. The role of domestic investors in this scenario is also crucial. Their increased buying activity, possibly spurred by positive market sentiment and the anticipation of strong future earnings, is creating an upward momentum in stock prices.

    While some sectors like IT, FMCG, and Pharma are underperforming, their impact is overshadowed by the gains in other sectors. It’s essential to recognize that stock market movements are the result of a complex interplay of various factors, including economic indicators, policy expectations, global trends, and investor behavior. In this case, the collective sentiment seems to be tilting towards optimism, driven by expectations from the interim budget and the consequent potential growth in key sectors.”

    Commodities Market Today: Angel One’s Analyst Saish Dessai’s take on Aluminium

    Saish Sandeep Sawant Dessai, Analyst, Angel One, on Aluminium: (CMP: MCX Aluminium: Rs.204.10/kg; LME Aluminium: $2251.50/tonne):

    Aluminium had an impressive week, with LME prices gaining over 5 percent, while MCX Aluminium concluded the short trading week with a 2 percent gains.

    Following news of potential EU sanctions on Russian metals and China’s cabinet announcement regarding additional fund injections, another US primary aluminium smelter bites the dust. The curtailment of the New Madrid smelter in Missouri this week leaves just four operating primary aluminium producers on U.S. soil. The curtailment of the aluminium plant will also result in most of its employees being laid off.

    The rally in aluminium prices was initially fuelled by the prospect of EU sanctions after Poland and the Baltic states called for a ban on imports of Russian aluminium and liquefied natural gas.

    After China’s cabinet announcement regarding additional fund injections, the central bank governor declared a 50-basis points reduction in the reserve requirement ratio on Wednesday, marking the first such reduction this year.

    Take a quadrilateral with length of 10 metres and width of 10 metres. Based on the above formula, its area will be 100 square metres.

    Stock Market Live Today: ICRA Analytics on benchmark indices 

    Indian equity markets fell due to profit booking by investors following the positive data of the U.S. economy that reduced the optimism of a rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Losses were extended following the rise in U.S. Treasury yields that attracted foreign portfolio investors away from domestic markets. Mixed third-quarter results along with January month futures & options expiry kept the markets volatile.

    Bond yields were largely unchanged as market participants awaited the central government’s budget for further cues.

    The yield on the 10-year benchmark paper (7.18% GS 2033) was unchanged at 7.18% from the previous close.

    Stock Market Live Today: OPENING BELL: Strong start for domestic market amid positive global cues and Budget anticipation

    Following an extended weekend, the domestic market commenced the week on a strong note, influenced by positive global cues. Anticipation surrounding the upcoming interim Budget on February 1 and the ongoing earnings season is expected to shape market movements throughout the week. Early trading saw the 30-share BSE Sensex rising by 417.19 points to reach 71,117.86, while the NSE Nifty experienced a gain of 111.10 points, reaching 21,463.70. 

    Global cues are positive, with most Asian stocks up over one per cent. Chinese and Hong Kong markets are up following the PBOC’s 0.5% cut in the reserve ratio, which is aimed at stimulating growth and financial liquidity. Investors, however, await additional details on China’s comprehensive stimulus plans. 

    However, the continuous selling by foreign portfolio investors and mixed corporate results keep the market under pressure.

    Analysts expect stock-specific actions during the ongoing earnings season., while macro movement depends on global sentiment, especially cues from the policy rate decisions of major countries.

    “This week is poised to be pivotal, marked by a series of significant events, with the Budget taking center stage. However, the finance minister’s indication of a modest, vote-on-account budget suggests a lack of extravagant announcements,” said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd.

    Another critical event to watch is the outcome of the US Federal Reserve’s policy meeting scheduled for January 31, which could provide insights into the potential timing of interest rate cuts. Concurrently, ongoing Q3 earnings releases are contributing to substantial stock price movements, with numerous companies slated to announce their results in the week, he added.

    According to VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, “FPIs continued to be sellers in the cash market having sold equity worth ₹27,664 crore through January 25. FPIs were sellers in autos and auto ancillary, media and entertainment and marginally in IT. They bought in oil and gas, power and selectively in financial services,” he said.

    Commodities Market Live Today: Silver prices today: Silver gains to $22.84 on West Asia crisis

    Silver price gains as escalating tension in the Middle East boosts the safe-haven demand, which lifts the metal. The Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) came in at 0.2% MoM and 2.6% YoY in December, according to Commerce Department data. The core PCE figure, excluding energy and food, rose 2.9% annually, a slower pace than the 3.2% rate seen in November. The spotlight this week will be the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on Wednesday, which is expected to keep rates at 5.25–5.50%.

    Markets widely expect the U.S. Fed to stand pat on rates at its policy meeting on Jan. 30-31, but attention will largely be on comments from Powell.

    Gold prices rose as escalations in the Middle East triggered safe-haven buying, while traders awaited U.S. Federal Reserve’s chair Jerome Powell’s remarks at the end of its two-day policy meet this week for interest rate outlook. U.S. prices rose moderately in December, keeping the annual increase in inflation below 3% for a third straight month, which could allow the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates this year. China’s gold premiums climbed last week as additional stimulus measures aided sentiment, days before Lunar New Year celebrations begin.

    Markets widely expect the U.S. Fed to stand pat on rates at its policy meeting on Jan. 30-31, but attention will largely be on comments from Powell.

    Stock Market Live Today: Indian markets could open higher, in line with positive Asian markets today and mixed US markets on Jan 25/26

    Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research, HDFC Securities. 

    U.S. stocks finished higher on Thursday, having received a boost from strong GDP data released earlier, as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite extended their winning streaks to a sixth straight session. Global stocks rose on Thursday while the euro fell as Europe’s central bank kept rates unchanged, and U.S. Treasury yields declined after data showed the U.S. economy grew more quickly than expected in the fourth quarter. The U.S. economy grew as strong consumer spending defied recession predictions in 2023, with fourth-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) increasing at a 3.3% annualized rate and full-year growth at 2.5%, according to the Commerce Department. The U.S. economy so far hasn’t buckled under the Federal Reserve’s monetary tightening, which is aimed at lowering inflation to the central bank’s 2% target rate. The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimated Thursday that GDP expanded at an annual rate of 3.3% in the fourth quarter, beating economists’ forecasts.

    Core data from the personal-consumption-expenditures price index in the US increased at a 2% annualized rate in the fourth quarter, the same pace as in the preceding three months. The European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged at a record-high 4% and ECB President Christine Lagarde said it was “premature to discuss rate cuts” but noted that risks to economic growth are “tilted to the downside.” Morgan Stanley cut its targets for major China stock indexes, saying the country’s challenges with debt, demographics, and deflation are among hurdles to further equity gains. Investors poured almost $12 billion into Chinese equity funds in the week to Wednesday in the largest inflow since 2015 and the second largest ever, a BofA Global Research report showed on Friday - a positive sign for battered Chinese stocks.

    U.S. stocks finished mostly lower on Friday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite snapping six-day winning streaks that had carried the S&P 500 to five-straight record closes. For the week the benchmark index added 1% while the Nasdaq added 0.9% and the Dow industrials advanced 7%, with all three clocking their third weekly gain in a row and their 12th weekly gain out of the last 13 weeks. Markets received a boost earlier in the session from monthly PCE data that showed the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge of core inflation had slowed to its lowest level since the spring of 2021. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index increased 0.2% last month after an unrevised 0.1% drop in November, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis said. In the 12 months through December, the PCE price index increased 2.6%, matching November’s unrevised gain.

    Stock Market Live Today: Stock Recommendations: HPCL: Medium-term prospects bright despite the near-term blip by Motilal Oswal Financial

    (HPCL IN, Mkt Cap USD7.3b, CMP INR432, TP INR530, 23% Upside, Upgrade to BUY)

    - HPCL missed our EBITDA estimate for 3QFY24 due to a lower-than-expected marketing margin of INR2.7/lit (est. of INR3.4/lit) led by suppressed margins on diesel.

    - Refinery throughput was in line at 5.3mmt (up 11% YoY). The company expects to clock a refining throughput of 22mmtpa in FY24 (vs. 19mmtpa in FY23) led by the commissioning of expanded capacity at Vizag refinery. Singapore GRM has also rebounded to USD7.2/bbl in 4QFY24’TD (vs. USD5.5/bbl in 3QFY24), which may lead to an improvement in refining margins in the upcoming quarter.

    Stock Market Live Today: Stock Recommendations: ACC: Cost synergies reflects with strong EBITDA beat: Emkay Global Research

    ACC’s Q3FY24 EBITDA was a robust beat on our/consensus estimates by 27-30% mainly owing to lower-than-expected costs. EBITDA more than doubled YoY to Rs9.1bn (up 65% QoQ) with EBITDA/ton crossing the Rs1,000 mark post nine quarters (Emkay est: Rs825). Total cost/ton declined 17% YoY (6% QoQ) to Rs4,505 (vs. our est. of flat cost QoQ) owing to cost savings across line items. Blended realization improved 1% QoQ to Rs5,522/ton. Volume growth surprised positively with 15% YoY growth to 8.9mt, partly led by increased MSA transaction with Ambuja Cement. We increase our EBITDA estimates upwards by 13-15% in FY25-26E, citing consistent cost-saving measures and the recent acquisition of Asian Concretes & Cements. Given the healthy B/S and attractive valuation, we maintain BUY with a revised Dec-24E TP of Rs2,900 (13x EV/E).

    Stock Market Live Today: Stock Recommendations: Rainbow Children’s Medicare by Choice International

    In Q3FY24, Rainbow Children’s performance was above our estimate. Revenue for the quarter grew by 9.6% YoY to INR 3,360mn (vs est. of INR 3,263mn) led by decent growth in ARPOB (14.4% YoY / 2.3% QoQ) due to superior mix and lower ALOS, off-set by muted occupancy (impacted to a certain extent due to cyclone Michaung). In mature hospitals, low occupancy was compensated by robust ARPOB growth (20.6% YoY / 4% QoQ). New hospitals are witnessing a pick-up in occupancy (37.8% vs 35.3% in Q2FY24). EBITDA for the quarter grew by 10.6% YoY to INR 1,181mn (vs est. of INR 1,126mn). EBITDA margin expanded by 31bps YoY to 35.1% (vs est. of 34.5%) led by higher employee and operating expenses. PAT for the quarter grew by 7.3% YoY to INR 621mn (vs est. of INR 592mn). PAT was impacted due to the increased depreciation expense to the tune of INR 45mn towards the new units

Rs.8,905mn) Vs Rs.4,616mn in Q3FY23 led by muted demand of defence electronics across different platform. EBIDTA came at Rs.1,187mn (+ 33.6% YoY) (vs Est. Rs.2,059mn), Margin came at 19.74% (+ 47.9 bps YoY) (vs Est. of 23.12%). Margins remain flat on yoy basis due to higher staff cost. APAT came at Rs.1,369mn (+ 60.3% YoY) (vs est. Rs.1,654mn) and led by higher other income.

    Dalmia Bharat Ltd. Q3FY24 consolidated volumes came in at 6.8mnt, up 9.7% QoQ and 7.9% YoY. Management expects higher volume in Q4FY24 as compare to Q3FY24. The consolidated revenue for Q3FY24 stands at INR36,000mn, up 14.3% QoQ and 7.3% YoY, led by improvement in prices in East and South region. For the quarter, EBITDA/t stands at INR1,140/t, up 20.0% QoQ and 11.5% YoY. The improvement in profitability is mainly attributed to robust top-line growth. Adjusted PAT for the quarter stood at INR2,659mn, up 114.6% QoQ and 25.5% YoY. EPS for the quarter is INR14.4. Net Debt /EBITDA stood at 0.16x

    Stock Market Live Today: Key Expectations for the Union Budget - February 2024: Suman Chowdhury, Chief Economist and Head-Research, Acuité Ratings & Research

    “We expect the Indian economy to witness a moderation in growth in FY25. Our current forecast for FY25 stands at 6.3% as compared to 6.8% in FY24. Given the priority that is likely to be given for fiscal consolidation in the upcoming budget, we don’t expect any significant fiscal stimulus in it. However, the government may continue to earmark a significant quantum for capital expenditure with a growth of 15% in its budgetary allocation; the latter will continue to be a primary driver of the domestic economy over the medium term. The government may also enhance the subsidy allocation for some segments such as farmers, women, informal sector workers and unemployed youth to strengthen domestic private consumption which is estimated to show a weak growth of 4.4% in FY24. Given the need to sustain the public investments and also support certain social segments through subsidies or budgetary relief, the targeted reduction of fiscal deficit from 5.9% to 5.3% (E) will pose a material challenge for the finance ministry, necessitating significant step-up in non-tax revenues like PSU disinvestments.

    The macro fundamentals remain strong and resilient and this is borne out by the GDP figures so far in the current year despite headwinds like the global slowdown, higher interest rates and the El Nino phenomenon. However, the policymakers need to take remedial measures to revive the weak rural demand scenario if agricultural growth doesn’t recover quickly.”

    North America on a robust growth path

    - CIPLA beat our earnings estimates in 3QFY24, aided by an outperformance in the domestic formulation (DF)/North America (NA) segments and better operating leverage. These factors were offset to some extent by a muted performance of emerging markets and the API segment.

    Guides for 18% growth and 28% VNB margin

    - SBILIFE reported decent performance in 3QFY24. APE grew 13% YoY (22% beat), while VNB grew 11% YoY as margins contracted 40bp YoY to 27.4%. PAT grew 6% YoY to INR3.2b (vs. our estimate of INR 4.0b, registering 20% miss).

    - In terms of NBP, Group Savings and ULIPs witnessed a healthy YoY growth of 54% and 16%, respectively, while Par savings declined 17% YoY in 3QFY24. The protection business was flat YoY.

    - We expect SBILIFE to deliver 18% CAGR in APE over FY23-26E, thus enabling a 16.4% VNB CAGR. RoEV is expected to stay at around ~20%. We reiterate our BUY rating on the stock with a TP of INR1,700 (2.3x Sep’26E EV).

    Stock Market Live Today: Stock Recommendations: HPCL: Inline numbers despite challenges; expansion near completion: Emkay Global Research HPCL’s Q3FY

    HPCL’s Q3FY24 SA EBITDA fell 75% QoQ to Rs21.3bn, due to shutdown at the Vizag Refinery (VR), refining inventory losses, lower spreads, and suppressed marketing margins. EBITDA saw a slight miss, with mktg weakness & higher opex largely offset by better reported GRM of USD8.5/bbl (Emkay: USD4.5/bbl). Core GRM was ~USD11/bbl. Blended mktg margin came in 20% below estimate, with some weakness in seen non-auto-fuels (albeit denied by Mgmt). Gross debt fell 3% QoQ to Rs500bn. Mgmt guided to a healthy earnings outlook, while estimating expanded & upgraded VR to start from Q3FY25. Also, Barmer would commence production by H2CY24. We remain constructive on OMCs, on a steady marketing environment, with general elections closing in. We raise FY24E EPS 17% and FY25/26E EPS 9% each, on better GRMs and below operating-line adjustments; retain BUY; revised Dec-24E TP of Rs500/sh.

    Stock Market Live Today: Stock Recommendations: Exide Industries: Muted Q3; success of lithium foray remains uncertain: Emkay Global Research

    Exide’s Q3 performance was muted, with ~5%/~11% miss on Consensus estimates on EBITDA/PAT due to input cost pressures. We believe the core lead acid battery replacement demand and sustained cost actions would drive ~9%/~14% FY24E-26E revenue/EPS CAGR. However, uncertainty around lithium-ion adoption (e.g., stagnating E-2W penetration levels) and competitive intensity (with large OEMs looking to in-source cells) continue; these, coupled with heavy capex requirements (Rs45bn for phase-1 lithium plant, apart from regular Rs5bn/year for the lead acid business vs. the Rs10-12bn annual FCF from the core business) would weigh on financials. We trim FY24E, FY25E, and FY26E EPS by ~4%, ~3%, and ~2%, respectively, on lowered margins. Maintain SELL with unchanged TP of Rs260 (13x FY26E P/E + insurance business stake.

    Stock Market Live Today: Stock Recommendations: Sagar Cements: Higher cost led to EBITDA miss; vol. guidance revised downward: Emkay Global Research

    Sagar Cements’ EBITDA came in 10-15% below our/consensus estimates in Q3FY24. On a favorable base, EBITDA grew 83% YoY/45% QoQ to Rs871mn (Emkay estimate: Rs980mn). On a sequential basis, EBITDA/t improved by Rs160/t to Rs619 mainly driven by a sharp increase in realization (up Rs286/t QoQ) to Rs4,757/t. However, higher-than-expected input costs led to a miss in our estimates. Volume grew 14% YoY (in-line with estimates) to 1.4mt in Q3FY24 mainly led by ramping up of new capacities in Jeerabad and Andhra Cements. Management has revised its volume guidance downwards to 5.6mt for FY24 (earlier 6.2mt), which implies 25% YoY growth in Q4FY24. Factoring in the Q3 miss and lower volumes, we have revised our EBITDA estimates downwards by 6-8% in FY25-26. We maintain our ADD rating with a revised Dec-24E TP of Rs300/share (10x EV/E)

    For Q3FY24, Dalmia Bharat (Dalmia) reported in-line EBITDA of Rs7.7bn, which grew 20% YoY/32% QoQ. Volume rose 8% YoY (vs. our estimate: 2% YoY) to 6.8mt (includes 0.4mt volumes under tolling arrangement with JPA). Excluding JPA’s tolling volumes, growth stood at 2% YoY. EBITDA/t increased by Rs183 QoQ to Rs1,138, which was mainly driven by higher realizations (up 4% QoQ to Rs5,286/t). Total cost/t remained flattish QoQ at Rs4,148. Management indicated that the deal with JPA may likely be finalized by Q4FY24-end (delay mainly on account of receiving lender approvals). Company has recapitulated its capacity growth target to 47mt/75mt/110-130mt by FY24/FY27/FY31. Factoring-in the Q3 operational performance and some delay in completion of cement assets of JPA, we revise down our EBITDA estimate 5-6% for FY25-26.

    Chalet’s Q3 revenue/EBITDA growth was healthy at 29%/46% YoY, above our estimates. The beat was led by RevPAR increasing 18% YoY (at a 2% beat). We see Chalet charting an EBITDA CAGR of 33% over FY23-26E and net debt reducing from FY25, as it initiates a slew of expansion projects, which would engender 10% room-count CAGR over FY23-26E. The company’s strategically located hotels in key cities ensure high occupancy. Leasing of commercial assets provides partial hedge against cyclicality of the hospitality industry. We mark-up FY25E/26E EBITDA by 0.7%/3.9%, on result beat. We raise our EV/EBITDA multiple for hotels to 20.5x from 19.5x, as benefits related to the Airoli and Delhi International Airport projects is expected to come from FY27. We revise our SOTP-based TP of Rs825/sh vs. Rs745 earlier; maintain ADD

    Stock Market Live Today: JSW Steel 3QFY24 results: In-line Standalone; beats cons. estimates on stronger subs. performance

    Tushar Chaudhari – Research Analyst, Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt Ltd

    JSW Steel (JSTL IN, CMP Rs 812, MCap Rs 1.99 tn, BUY) 3QFY24 results: In-line Standalone; beats cons. estimates on stronger subs. performance.

    ☘️ JSTL’s Standalone revenue declined 1% QoQ to Rs 333 bn. Average Realization increased 3% QoQ to Rs 64,058/t (+ 3% YoY; PLe Rs 63,677/t) as steel prices inched up in the first half of the quarter.

    View: JSTL’s 9MFY24 performance is robust on lower coking coal and strong volume growth, however as raw material prices are inching up (both iron ore and coking coal) margins are expected to come under pressure in near term. JSTL is well placed to capitalize on strong volume growth in domestic markets over next two years given its ongoing brownfield expansion at Vijayanagar which is expected to drive volumes. Maintain BUY with TP of Rs992.

    Stock Market Live Today: Stock Recommendations: Q3 FY24 quarterly update report on DCB Bank Ltd by Keynote Capitals

    The enduring narrative remains unaltered

    DCB Bank Ltd (DCB) reported a strong loan book growth of 4% on QoQ and 18% on a YoY basis during the quarter, with the mortgage/AIB segment contributing 45%/24% of the loan book, demonstrating substantial growth of 6%/6% on a QoQ and 25%/28% on a YoY basis, respectively. NII grew by 6% on a YoY basis. However, NIM contracted by 21 bps on a QoQ basis due to the increased cost of funds. The Bank’s cost-to-income ratio had remained elevated at ~65% during the quarter due to its expansion of its branch network and increase in employees. During the quarter, slippages were increased due to loans coming out of the moratorium from the restructured portfolio. However, net slippages remained low due to strong recoveries and upgrades. Going forward, management expects strong recovery and upgrades to continue, which will improve the slippage ratio and asset quality for the Bank. Management aims to reduce the cost-to-income ratio to 55% and achieve an ROA of >1% in the next two to three years.

    Foreign investors have sold equities worth ₹35,000 crore this month and bellwether Sensex has fallen 1,539 points in January.

    A consultation paper issued by the SEBI in May last year had stated that FPI assets under management of about ₹2.6 lakh crore -- around six per cent of the total FPI equity AUM and less than one per cent of India’s total equity market capitalisation may potentially be identified as high-risk FPIs.

    Stock Market Live Today: US bond yield concerns drive FPIs’ ₹36,915 crore sell-off in Indian equities

    Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) extended their selling trend in the Indian equity cash market, offloading equities worth ₹12,200 crore ($1.5 billion) in the last three truncated trading sessions. This follows net sales of ₹24,715 crore in the preceding week, making it seven consecutive sessions of FPI net selling totaling ₹36,915 crore since January 17. The current month’s FPI net selling contrasts sharply with the record inflow of ₹66,134 crore in December 2023. The FPIs’ sell-off is attributed to rising US bond yields, reaching 4.18% post the US Fed pivot in December 2023, and lackluster Q3 results in Indian financial services.

Analysts suggest possible market consolidation amid the awaited Federal Open Market Committee meeting and Bank of England monetary policy. The PMI data for the manufacturing sector and earnings reports from prominent companies like Adani Green Energy, Bajaj Finance, and Maruti Suzuki are also crucial factors. Despite expectations of no major budget announcements, the market may focus on growth and populist elements. The week is deemed pivotal, with global factors such as geopolitical events and movements in bond yields, the dollar index, and crude oil prices shaping market dynamics.
