    Stock Market Live Today: CapitaLand India Trust earns ‘BBB-’ rating from Fitch; stable outlook with strong IT demand

    Fitch Ratings has assigned Singapore-listed CapitaLand India Trust (CLINT) a first-time Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of ‘BBB-’. The Outlook is Stable.

    The rating is underpinned by the trust’s high-quality portfolio of Grade A offices in India, which we expect will sustain high occupancy rates and positive rental reversions amid strong demand for IT outsourcing services. This counterbalances its rising exposure to asset developments and acquisitions. We expect EBITDA net leverage to peak at 8.5x in 2025 before reducing to around 7.0x thereafter.

    Our rating case has not factored in any equity raising, as this will be subject to market conditions. Our expected peak EBITDA net leverage is above the level for CLINT’s current rating, but we acknowledge that it has a number of levers and leverage could be lower than our forecast. In particular, CLINT has an established record of prudently managing development risks, as well as strong credit- and equity-market access that has allowed it to maintain a healthy capital structure with gearing (debt/total assets) of below 40%

    Stock Market Live Today: Sectoral Updates: Telecom - Apr-June 2024 Earnings Preview - Steady growth expected

    Telecom – Swarnendu Bhushan, Co-Head of Research, Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt. Ltd.

    Q1FY25 Revenue and EBITDA of telecom companies in our coverage universe (Jio (unrated) + Bharti) is expected to increase by 2%QoQ and 3% QoQ to Rs647.6bn and Rs337.7bn respectively led by healthy subscriber addition of 11.5mn, besides building gradual increase in ARPU growth (~1%QoQ). We maintain our positive stance on the telecom sector given the much needed tariff hikes undertaken by the company. Maintain ‘Accumulate’ rating on Bharti with SOTP based TP of Rs1,618 as we incorporate minor changes in our assumptions.

    § Bharti Airtel: For Q1, we have factored subscriber growth of 4mn (Q4FY24: 6.7 mn) to 356mn coupled with ARPU flat at Rs 210. Airtel Africa business is expected to remain muted QoQ, and we have factored in a 4% QoQ growth rate for the enterprise business. For DTH we have factored a growth of 4% QoQ.

    § Accordingly, Bharti’s Q1FY25E consolidated Revenue/EBITDA is expected to increase to Rs381.6bn (+1.5% QoQ)/Rs196.5 bn (+1.5% QoQ).

    § Bharti is also targeting ~Rs 500bn market opportunity with its Enterprise offerings including CPaaS, cloud, cybersecurity and data centers as company expects 80% of corporates will put up 5G within next 3 years.

    § JIO: We expect JIO to report Revenue/EBITDA of Rs266bn (2.5% QoQ)/Rs 141bn (3.7% QoQ). We have also factored in ARPU of Rs183 (flat QoQ) and subscriber addition of ~8mn in Q1 to 489.3mn

    7)The US services sector contracted in June as indicated by the ISM Services PMI falling to 48.8, down from 53.8 in May. This marks the first time in 17 months that the index has dipped below the 50 mark, which separates expansion from contraction.

    15)The U.K.’s opposition Labour Party won a huge parliamentary majority in the country’s general election, unseating the incumbent Conservatives after 14 years.

    Stock Market Live Today: India News Highlights

    1)India’s foreign exchange reserves decreased by $1.71 billion to reach $652 billion as of June 28, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The previous week saw an increase in reserves, by $816 million to $653.7 billion as of June 21.

    3)The HSBC final India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), compiled by S&P Global, rose to 58.3 in June, slightly below the preliminary estimate of 58.5, but up from 57.5 in May. Strong demand is crucial for growth in Asia’s third-largest economy, which is currently the fastest-growing major economy

    4)Markets regulator Sebi drastically cut the face value of debt securities to Rs 10,000 from Rs 1 lakh at present to boost participation of retail investors in the corporate bond market. Market participants are of the view that lower ticket size of debt securities may encourage more non-institutional investors to participate in the corporate bond market which in turn may also enhance liquidity.

    5)India’s goods and services tax (GST) collections rose 7.7 percent to Rs 1.74 lakh crore in June as compared to Rs 1.73 lakh crore in May. The numbers were a tad higher than the previous month but lower than the GST mop-up in April, when they peaked at Rs 2.1 lakh crore.

    6)As per paragraph 13(ii) of the Government of India Notification, the interest rate on FRSB 2020 (T) bonds resets every six months starting from January 1, 2021. The rate is set at 35 basis points above the prevailing National Savings Certificate (NSC) rate. Following this rule, the coupon rate for FRSB 2020 (T) from July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, and payable on January 1, 2025, remains at 8.05% (7.70% + 0.35%), unchanged from the previous six months. 

    7)The Centre raised windfall tax on petroleum crude to 6,000 rupees ($72) per metric ton from 3,250 rupees, effective from July 2, a notification showed. The windfall tax is revised every two weeks and as per the notification it remained unchanged at zero for diesel and aviation turbine fuel.

    8)In the fiscal year 2023-24 (FY24), GST collections soared to a historic approximately 20.2 trillion rupees. Despite growth maintaining a pace above 10 percent, it has decelerated compared to previous rates, according to data from Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy and government releases.

    9)The government will present the Budget for 2024-25 (Apr-Mar) in Lok Sabha on Jul 23, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said. In view of the general election, the Centre presented an interim Budget for the current fiscal year in February.

    10)Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has received approval to raise up to Rs 50,000 crore through bonds. The approval was given after a meeting by the authority on Friday (5th July). The MMRDA, under the leadership of metropolitan commissioner Dr Sanjay Mukherjee, will utilize bonds as a fund-raising mechanism. Earlier, the MMRDA relied solely on borrowings and land monetization. A senior official revealed that the initial amount to be raised will be based on immediate requirements, potentially starting with Rs 10,000 crore and gradually increasing to meet the maximum requirement.

    Pre-market comment by Shrey Jain at SAS Online  

    The Indian stock market benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty 50, are set for a subdued start on Monday amid mixed global signals. Nifty’s critical support levels are at 24,230 and 24,180, pivotal for maintaining bullish momentum. Options data highlights concentration at 24,200 for calls and 24,800 for puts this week.

    Bank Nifty is in consolidation mode, encountering resistance at 53,000 - 53,200 with active call writing, while support holds steady at 52,300 - 52,100. As the Budget approaches and quarterly results loom, investor sentiment remains cautious.

    Ahead of the Budget on 23rd July, the market is expected to trade sideways, advocating a strategy of ‘buying on dips’.

    Stock Market Live Today: Morning market quote from V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services

    “Positive news flows can impart resilience to the market in the near-term. The bullish undertone in the US market will be supported by the latest jobs data for June which has come weak, but better-than-expected at 2,06,000 jobs. US unemployment climbing to 4.1% indicates an economy cooling slowly. Disinflation and rising unemployment creates the ideal macro backdrop that can facilitate a rate cut by the Fed in September itself. This is positive for global equity markets.

    The market will respond to the Q1 results which will start flowing from this week onwards. Financials have the potential to move up further in response to the expected good results. IT is showing signs of improvement. Autos will continue to show improved results. The FMCG segment which has been languishing with low volume growth is showing signs of mild recovery. Watch out for this segment.”

    Stock Market Live Today: Vedanta Chairman discusses Rajasthan’s natural resources sector with Chief Minister

    Anil Agarwal, Chairman of Vedanta Group, today met with Bhajan Lal Sharma, Chief Minister of Rajasthan, to discuss the state’s outlook and plans for the natural resources sector – metals, minerals, and oil & gas - which is crucial for creating large-scale employment opportunities and contributing to the state’s economic growth, as well as nation building.

    Vedanta has made investments in excess of INR 1.50 Lakh Crore in Rajasthan to date. Two of its flagship businesses Hindustan Zinc Limited – the World’s second largest integrated Zinc producer and 3rd largest producer of Silver, and Cairn Oil & Gas, India’s largest private oil producer, have their largest operations in the state. In FY 24, Vedanta’s contribution to the State Exchequer was INR 10,000 Cr.

    Reinforcing the Vedanta Group’s steadfast commitment to the State, Agarwal, said, “Rajasthan is a national natural resources growth engine with the potential to power an Atmanirbhar Bharat across the minerals, metals, and oil & gas sectors. Both, the state of Rajasthan and Vedanta, are open to further collaboration aimed at fuelling India’s ambition of becoming self-reliant in natural resources and thus a global manufacturing hub.

    Stock Market Live Today: Rain tracker by Emkay Global 

    July starts with healthy rainfall: Cumulative rainfall as on 6-Jul was 1% above the long-term average (LTA), while weekly rainfall (as on 3-Jul) was 32% above the LTA. Spatial divergence has reduced with most of the country receiving healthy rains during the week. North and West India (3%), Central India (-6%), East and North East India (0%), and the southern peninsula (13%) have now all had normal rains so far. With June having ended in deficit, it is imperative that July sees healthy rainfall; the month has begun on a promising note.

    ■ Sowing status better than last year: While sowing was delayed, it has now picked up and is better than last year. Total area under sowing (24.1mn ha), as on 28-Jun, is sharply higher (33% YoY) than last year. This is mainly due to accelerated sowing of pulses (2.3mn ha; 181% YoY) and oilseeds (4.3mn ha; 155% YoY). Rice sowing area is the same as last year thus far (2.3mn ha; 0% YoY), whereas sugarcane (5.7mn ha; 3% YoY) is better. Among non-food crops, cotton sowing (5.9mn ha; 63% YoY) is much higher. Overall area under sowing is at 22% of normal area sown, compared with 18.6% at the same point in 2023. July is extremely important in this regard with nearly 80% of sowing activity completed by the end of the month.

    ■ Retail food prices stay higher due to persistent heatwave conditions: Average retail prices for cereals (0.2%), vegetables (8.2%), and oils & fats (0.1%) were higher on a weekly basis, whereas pulses (0.0%) were flat and milk prices declined (-0.5%). On an annual basis as well, avg. prices for cereals (9.4%), pulses (14.0%), vegetables (39.3%), and milk (1.9%) were higher, whereas those for oils & fats (-4.3%) were lower. Delayed monsoon progress has led to persisting heatwave conditions, leading to lower supply of vegetables in particular, along with pulses and cereals. Vegetable prices may decline from August if the monsoon picks up; however, prices of milk and pulses will stay high due to tight supplies. Cereals could also see elevated prices with the government announcing a 5.4% increase in paddy MSP for the current Kharif marketing season.

    ■ Reservoir levels in deficit and below last year: The overall basin-wise reservoir levels are in deficit and below last year’s level as well. As of 3-Jul, the overall level is ~14% below the LTA and 21% below last year’s level. Most major river basins are in deficit – Ganga (North and East), Godavari (West and South), Indus (North), Kaveri (South), Mahanadi (Central and East), and Krishna (West and South). Only Narmada (Central and West) is in surplus.

    Stock Market Live Today: Stock Recommendations: Emkay Global on Dabur 

    Dabur remains one of our preferred picks in the Consumer Goods sector, given its diversified portfolio and better execution. The company’s thrust on rural remains firm, with distribution expansion continuing to see better growth. Dabur, per its strategy, has been expanding TAM across brands with category extensions that are backed well by distribution and marketing. We maintain BUY on Dabur, with Jun-25E TP of Rs700/sh, on 46x P/E. We see sales/earnings CAGR of 10%/15% over FY24-27E, respectively. Q1 commentary looks muted: topline is expected to grow 6%, with mid-single-digit volume growth in domestic operations. Gross margin is expected to expand by 90bps YoY (to 47.5%). EBITDA expansion is likely to be limited at 20bps YoY (to 19.5%), given sustained thrust on building back A&P (expect 18% rise in spends).

    Stock Market Live Today: F&O Tracker: Upward trajectory remains steady

    Nifty 50 (24,324) and Bank Nifty (52,660) stretched the upswing last week and posted a gain of 1.3 per cent and 0.6 per cent respectively. The uptrend remains valid for both indices and the derivatives data point to further rally from here. Here’s an analysis.

    Nifty futures (July) appreciated 1 per cent over the past week and closed at 24,379. This happened due to long build-up, which is indicated by the increase in the cumulative Open Interest (OI) of Nifty futures. It went up to 157.7 lakh contracts on July 5 against 155.9 lakh contracts on June 28.

    The long-term outlook for Nifty Financial Services (Fin Nifty) (23,641.75) will be positive as long as it stays above 18,890. If the index manages to hold on to current rally, it can register a new peak around 28,500.

    Fin Nifty finds an immediate support at 22,837 and the major one at 20,867. However, a close below 18,890 could weaken the index to 15,050. We expect the index to witness higher volatility in the short term.

    Stock Market Live Today: Index Outlook: Sensex, Nifty 50: Limited room to rise

    Nifty 50 and Sensex continue to move up well. Both the indices have risen breaking above their key near-term resistance. The indices were up over a per cent each last week. The outlook is bullish, and the Sensex and Nifty can rise further in the short term. However, as mentioned last week, crucial resistances are coming up. The current rally can halt around that resistance. We expect the Sensex and Nifty to run into a correction after some more rise from here.

    Stock Market Live Today: NTPC, Adani Green, JSW Steel, Tata Steel, Ambuja Cement, Ultratech et al: How their capex plans are driving India’s core sectors

    Core sectors producing the key starting materials for economic activity are critical indicators of an economy’s glide path. The amount of coal, oil, steel, cement, power and others produced in a country is an indication of the downstream demand and bears significantly high multiplier effect as well.

    For quite a while there has been a narrative that the private sector must pick the capex baton from the Central government to take the economy forward. How ready is it?

    To get a perspective, we analysed listed stocks in the core sectors. By considering the listed stocks in the core segment — fertilizers, cement, crude oil and natural gas, power, refineries, steel and coal — we can, to an extent, gauge the strength of the capex and productivity growth in the economy. Apart from analysing the aggregate numbers, which can smooth over several outliers, we have also picked the top three companies in the most visible sectors — power, steel and cement — to assess how each company is positioned on the growth curve. Here are our key takeaways.
