    Stock market live updates: Sensex surges past 80,000 mark as market rallies on Fed rate cut hopes

    Sensex and Nifty rallied today, with the BSE Sensex crossing the 80,000-point mark. As of 12:30 pm, the Sensex stood at 80,052.85, up 946.97 points or 1.20 per cent from the previous close. The broader Nifty 50 index also posted significant gains, trading at 24,433.80, up 290.05 points or 1.2 per cent.

    The market surge was primarily driven by expectations of a potential rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in September, following a milder-than-expected July consumer price index in the United States. The US CPI slowed to 2.9 per cent from 3.0 per cent in June, while core inflation rose 3.2 per cent, below the projected 3.3 per cent.

    Share market live today: Devang Shah, Head Fixed Income, on ‘INR being at a record low’

    Essentially, the note aims to address how market volatility has significantly increased due to weaker-than-expected US economic data, surprise BOJ rate hike and the reversal of yen carry trades. However, we believe that the INR will continue to remain stable with no major risk of volatility or depreciation in the current fiscal year, mainly on account of strong macro health, strong FPI flows and growth in services, weak US macros, strong reserves build-up, and slowdown in China.

    The note outlines the impact of currency on Bond Markets and RBI Monetary Policy:

    · Currency depreciation generally has a negative impact on the bond markets, as central banks often adopt a more hawkish stance to defend currency. This is due to their dual mandate of ensuring financial stability and managing inflation.

    · Strong macro position will not lead to any significant depreciation for INR, but RBI can choose to remain cautious in its monetary policy and can keep liquidity/ financial conditions tighter in near term. This approach can put brake to rally in the bond markets and can lead to near term volatility.

    · RBI will be using its strong reserves position to intervene and defend INR depreciation, which can lead to banking liquidity going into deficit, impacting short end of the curve. Data shows RBI has already intervened close to ~10-15 Bn USD in the last few trading sessions.

    · We believe that RBI action of OMO sales to drain out liquidity infused due to JP Morgan Inflows would be small and positive demand supply dynamics for bonds should not lead to any major upside in yields but can put some brake to near term rally in bonds.

    · If there is any major depreciation in INR due to Risk off or geopolitical uncertainty RBI would be on pause on rates/ stance for a longer time than market expectations.

    Stock market news today: Sujan Hajra, Chief Economist & Executive Director, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, on wholesale inflation

    India’s WPI inflation eased to a three-month 2% low in Jul’24 (vs 3.4% the month prior), driven by a y/y drop in food prices (the base effect).

    Primary articles inflation declined. Inflation in primary articles declined to a nine-month, 3.1%, low on the significant y/y fall in food prices (the higher base effect) despite rising sequentially.

    Manufacturing products inflation firm. Prices of manufactured products continued in positive territory, at 1.6%, the highest in the last 17 months, driven by a rise in prices of chemical and textile products.

    Global prices steady. G20 producer prices held steady in Jun’24 as producer price deflation continued in major euro economies and China, with a decline seen in India, the US and the UK. Low inflation was seen, with the CRB commodity price index continuing its downtrend on account of weak demand.

    WPI expected to moderate. The easing in the WPI is temporary, driven by the favourable base effect. Sequentially, prices of most food items, particularly vegetable prices, rose. Further, commodity prices have started to come off on weak global demand despite heightened geopolitical risks. As the base effect moderates, we will see wholesale inflation rising, though we expect weaker momentum as the better monsoon would lower food prices with commodity prices expected to continue on a downward trajectory. Risks to our outlook emerge from heightened geopolitical risks.

    Stock market live today: Pawan Bharaddia, Co-founder of Equitree Capital, on market outlook

    The chatter around valuations remains subjective and questionable. While the markets have been on a roll, as evidenced by our portfolio’s returns of 10.6% in the last month, 30.1% over 3 months, and 88.8% over the past year, earnings growth has also been very buoyant, thereby still keeping the overall valuation under check.

    Our simple belief is that markets, in the longer term, will reward companies that deliver consistent earnings. We prefer to look at valuations in the context of those earnings, which is why we’re comfortable with our portfolio trading at a median PE of 21.5x FY25 PAT, especially given our expectation of continued 30% growth in FY25.

    The Supreme Court (SC) has ruled that a state can levy taxes on mineral rights and clarified that it would be applicable from 2005. We believe the states can levy additional taxes but would need to be rational to ensure investments and job creation in states. Further, the center could potentially intervene to protect the federal structure and maintain uniformity. The liabilities would get crystalized in due course on case-by-case basis and we see only a marginal negative impact on coverage companies.

    Q1FY25 Result Update – Healthy order book to drive growth

    Quick Pointers:

    Healthy orders across product portfolio

    Targeting strong growth in aftermarket business with exports to ~37 countries 

    We increase our estimates by 1-2% over the forecast period and upgrade our rating from “HOLD” to “ACCUMULATE” given the recent correction in stock price. ENDU’s consolidated revenue for Q1FY25 grew by 15.3% YoY, in line with consensus estimates, but marginally lower than PLe. EBITDA grew by 16.4% YoY, while margin remained flat at 13.2%, mainly due to higher other expenses in proportion to sales. Subdued performance on the operational front was offset by 2x growth in other income, which led PAT to increase by 24.7% over last year. With a healthy order book, RFQs across business divisions and diversification, the management remains optimistic on its growth prospects. 

    ENDU shall witness steady growth on the back of 1) a healthy order book with addition of new customers, 2) volume and revenue growth led by double-digit growth in 2W industry, 3) focus on increasing sales of after-market products, 4) expansion of its product portfolio, especially in premium segment, which could result in diversification benefits. Factoring this, we estimate its revenue/EBITDA/EPS to grow at a CAGR of 21%/29%/39% over FY24-26E and assign ‘ACCUMULATE’ with a TP of Rs2,696 (earlier Rs2,664), valuing it at 29x on its FY26E EPS. 

    Standalone revenue driven by healthy growth in 2W industry: Its Q1FY25 standalone revenue increased by 16.2% YoY to Rs21.2bn (including the incentive of Rs228mn for Maharashtra state mega project). In terms of products, Suspension revenue increased by 25.2% YoY to Rs7.4bn, Disc Brake grew by 23.4% YoY to Rs3.2bn, Die Casting grew by 15% YoY to Rs6.3bn and After Market revenue increased by 16.2% YoY to Rs1.1bn. EBITDA was reported at Rs2.7bn, up by 19.1% YoY, while margin expanded by 30bps YoY to 12.9%. The growth in EBITDA was suppressed by higher other expenses (up 100bps YoY) in proportion to sales. 

    Growth in Europe business aided by higher volume: Its Europe operations revenue increased by 17.2% YoY to Rs7.21bn. EBITDA grew by 20.7% YoY to Rs1.2bn with a margin of 16.5%, which expanded by 40bps YoY. The growth was mainly aided by higher volume as well as lower electricity and gas price in Europe as compared to last year. 

    Weak performance from Maxwell entity: Revenue from Maxwell declined significantly from Rs160mn in Q1FY24 to Rs30mn in Q1FY25. The de-growth was mainly led by global slowdown in the EV sales. However, the company indicated its key customers have started to ramp up productions, which could result in gradual recovery in the upcoming quarters.

    Rating: ACCUMULATE | CMP: Rs5,072 | TP:Rs5,911

    Q1FY25 Result Update – Lower spares sales and mix impact revenue and realization growth

    Quick Pointers:

    Multiple new launches and refreshers planned in ICE and EV segment.

    Encouraging response for Xtreme125R, its production to be scaled up to 40k/month.

    HMCL’s Q1FY25 standalone revenue increased by 15.7% YoY, 3% lower than PLe/BBGe. Despite healthy volume growth of 13.5% YoY/10.3% QoQ, ASP declined by 3.4% QoQ due to lower spares sales and slight mix impact. Its EBITDA margin came in 14.4% after accounting for the 190bps impact from the EV business; its ICE margin stood at 16.4%. Decent overall performance led APAT to increase by 18.8% YoY. Going ahead, the management aims to scale up production of Xtreme125R having received healthy response from customers. Additionally, it has planned a slew of new launches and refreshers in ICE and EV segments in the upcoming quarters, which shall aid in volume expansion. 

    We revise our estimates downwards by 1-2% over the forecast period to factor in the mix impact on its ASP profile. However, we maintain our positive view on HMCL based on 1) scale-up plan of Xtreme125R motorcycle in response to healthy demand, 2) healthy demand in rural & urban region during festive period, could boost volume growth, 3) healthy portfolio in the 125cc segment, which will help sustain margin profile and market share gains, and 4) steady growth in exports business aided by expansion into different regions. We maintain our “ACCUMULATE” rating with a TP of Rs5,911 (previous Rs5,914), valuing the core business at 20x and its stake in NBFC & Ather at Rs220.

    Miss on revenue estimates led by decline in spares revenue: Q1FY25 revenue came in at Rs101.4bn (PLe Rs104.6bn; BBGe: Rs104.3bn) driven by volume growth of 13.5% YoY/10.3% QoQ. Revenue growth was below estimates due to lower spares revenue and impact of product mix. Consequently, ASP grew by 1.9% YoY, but declined by 3.4% QoQ to Rs66,076/unit (PLe: Rs 68,151; BBGe: Rs67,955). PAT came in at Rs11.2bn, against PLe/BBGe of Rs11.6bn. 

    EV business impacted EBITDA margin by 198bps: EBITDA grew by 21% YoY to Rs14.6bn (PLe: Rs14.9bn; BBGe: Rs15.4bn), while margin expanded by 60bps YoY to 14.4%. ICE EBITDA margin stood at 16.4% (up 120bps YoY/80bps QoQ), while blended EBITDA margin was at 14.4%, up 63bps YoY. The blended margin had a 198bps impact from its EV business. Overall, the growth in margin was led by better operating leverage, cost cutting measures and pricing actions. 

    New launches anticipated in EV business: Revenue from EV business came in at Rs1.3bn with 10,559 units sold in Q1FY25 with an ASP of Rs118,382/unit. EBITDA loss during the quarter was Rs1.8bn. The company aims to scale its presence in the Indian market as well as expand its product portfolio with the launch EVs in the mid and affordable segment in the upcoming quarters, which shall aid in better operating leverage. Additionally, it aims to reduce the material cost of EVs and certify its products under the PLI scheme to pave the way towards profitability.

    Stock market live today: JM Financial Institutional Securities on major stocks

    Ipca Laboratories | Exports subdued; Growth to return

    Result Update - BUY INR 1,545

    IPCA reported a mixed set of numbers, revenue missed estimates however EBITDA and PAT managed a beat driven by higher Gross margins and improved operating efficiencies. While domestic formulations delivered an in-line performance, growing 12% YoY to INR 8.7bn, exports missed JMFe by 10%, declining 4% YoY. This miss was driven by logistics challenges and API supply issues. Management believes that going ahead growth should return and overall topline should grow at 10.5-11% for the remaining quarters. However due to a sub-par 1Q, FY25 revenue guidance was cut to 9% (previously 10.5-11%). EBITDA margin beat was driven by raw material procurement efficiencies combined with improvement in manufacturing related costs. As part of the Unichem integration the management have addressed the low hanging fruits, however structural changes such as API process improvements and new product launches etc are still 1.5-2 years away. IPCA’s US business is at an inflection point – supplies have begun and 12-13 launches are expected over the next two years. Given the imminent US turnaround, strong domestic franchise and margin improvement, we maintain BUY with a revised Sep’25 TP of INR 1,545.

    SKF India | 1QFY25: Outlook remains positive, focusing on increasing localisation

    Result Update - BUY INR 5,870

    In Q1FY25 SKF India posted a revenue at INR 12.1bn up 5% YoY and down 4.5% QoQ and was broadly in-line with the JMFe of INR 12.4bn, 5 year CAGR +9%, Schaeffler +13%, Timken +12%). Growth in the revenue was mainly driven by the Auto segment followed by Industrial along with some pickup in the exports. Gross margin was at 39.3% vs 39.8% YoY and 41.2% QoQ. EBITDA was at INR 1.9bn down 4.5% YoY and 4.9% QoQ. OPM was at 16.1% vs 17.6% YoY and 17.7% QoQ (JMFe OPM at 15.9%); lower margins mainly because of the negative operating leverage. EBITDA 5 year CAGR was at +10% for SKF, Schaeffler +19%, Timken +8%). Net profit was at INR 1.5bn down 3% YoY and 12%QoQ. 5 year CAGR was +15% for SKF, Schaeffler +25%, Timken +14%).

    Techno Electric & Engineering Co. Ltd. | 1QFY25: Opportunity holds strong across segments

    Result Update - BUY INR 1,735

    Techno Electric (TECHNOE), reported better than expected revenue and margins. Revenue at INR 4.2bn (up 9.6%) was above JMFe of INR 3.9bn, while EBITDA margins came in at 13.7% (JMFe 12.8%). Order book stands at INR 91bn (5.2x TTM EPC revenue), with L1 in orders worth INR 12bn, from T&D sectors. Bagged two TBCB order for Gogamukh and Bokajan line worth INR 28bn over its concession period. Capex for this project together would be INR 7.5bn. Bid pipeline for next couple of quarter stands at INR 50bn and company expects to bag order worth INR 30bn, from segments like AMI (smart metering and T&D). 1st phase of Chennai Data Center is expected to be completed by early 3QFY25. During the quarter company has raised equity worth INR 12.5bn, which will be utilised mostly towards executing projects for smart meter, data centre and TBCB orders. Management maintained its revenue guidance of INR 25bn for FY25 and INR 35bn for FY26, with EBITDA margin to be at 13-15%, with EPS of INR 50+ for FY26. We remain positive on stock in long run given strong order book, pipeline and expected revenue pickup from Data Center

    GPT Healthcare | Occupancy to improve; guidance unchanged

    GPT Healthcare (GPTHEALT) missed estimates for 1QFY25 largely due to a dip in the occupancy across key hospitals. The management attributed this fall in occupancy to intended reduction in ALOS and pronounced impact of elections in the region. ALOS reduced to 3.7 (from 4 in 1QFY24). IP volumes remained steady and grew flat-to-low double digits across facilities. ARPOBs were up +8% YoY driven by improvement in case mix and price increase. The management maintained their FY25 guidance of 12-14% growth and alluded to improving growth trends. We factor in Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 16%/16.5%/21% respectively, over FY24-27 with addition of new hospitals. Despite its promising growth prospects, GPTHEALT trades at a substantial discount to peers – ~11.5x FY26 EV/EBITDA vs. industry average of 21x (Yatharth is trading at ~14x). This valuation discrepancy presents an attractive risk-reward for investors, with potential for valuations to converge with peers as the key investment thesis plays out. We value GPTHEALT at 16x Sep’26 EV/EBITDA to arrive at a TP of INR 255. Maintain BUY.

    Merchandise Trade | Policy push needed to restrict further deterioration

    India’s merchandise trade deficit widened to USD 23.5bn in July due to continued divergence in imports and exports. The decline in exports was mainly led by sharp fall in oil exports which was most prominent in four of the top five countries, constituting 50% of India’s oil exports. Growth in NoNG exports indicates the improving demand environment in the global economy while NoNG imports remained relatively muted on FYTD basis. The decline in gold imports seems seasonal in nature and was unlikely due to recent duty cuts. Weak exports call for policy push for improving exports to keep the trade balance in check. We continue to maintain our CAD expectation at 1.2% of GDP for FY25.

    ABB India (ABB) to outperform Siemens (SIEM)

    - In the last 1 year, SIEM has surged by around 92% while ABB has moved up by around 74%, resulting into a negative normalised return spread of around 18%.

    - Earlier, the pair has shown convergence at the spread of around -20% to -17% on multiple occasions. We expect a similar situation to occur.

    - On a 1-year data window, the normalized return spread is trading at 2.1 standard deviation below the mean levels of -4.7%. It is currently trading at its 3.2 percentiles.

    - Technically, ABB is trading closer to its lower trendline support levels of the channel pattern and at its 100-day EMA levels while SIEM is trading at the resistance of 50-day EMA levels and is forming a pattern of lower top lower bottom.
