The rupee appreciated 1 paisa to close at 83.72 (provisional) against the US dollar on Tuesday amid a positive trend in domestic markets ahead of the US Fed policy announcement.

The domestic currency was trading in a tight range of 83.72-83.74 throughout the session.

“The broad market valuations are currently high, but sectors with strong growth prospects, such as manufacturing, electronics, IT, renewables, healthcare, e-commerce, infra, agriculture, and consumption, remain attractive. Some areas are expensive, so it is crucial to focus on stock fundamentals, avoid overvalued stocks, and adopt an accumulation strategy. Targeting specific stocks and sectors is advisable. To achieve better returns and ensure safety, consider rotating out of recent outperformers and shifting to value sectors, as overall market conditions are expected to improve in the coming years. Further, the improvements in rural areas, agriculture, and government expenditure are anticipated to benefit sectors connected to the domestic economy, such as staples, FMCG, fertilizers, telecom, cement, pharma, and consumer services.”

IPO Details:

Date: 02nd August - 06th August

Price Band: Rs 72 - Rs 76

Total Size of the Issue: 61.5bn

Fresh Issue: Rs 55bn

OFS: Rs 6.5bn

Objective of the issue:

❇️ The company aims to utilise ~Rs 12bn towards the expansion of its Gigafactory capacity. Currently the facility is in the testing phase of 1.5GwH, by April 2025 it aims to commission the phase 2 with a capacity of 5GwH and further scale it up to 20GwH capacity in the next few years.

❇️ It will utilise ~Rs 8bn towards debt repayment and ~Rs 3.5bn towards organic business expansion mainly for its scooters business.

Operations & Margin outlook:

❇️ As battery accounts for 30-40% of its material cost, it is in the process of developing its own battery cell which it aims to integrate in its scooters by FY26.

❇️ With the integration of its own battery cells, it will focus on improving the margin profile along with operating leverage.

❇️ Currently, the penetration of EV scooters in scooters stands at ~15% which it believes can increase upto 35-40% by FY30.

❇️ It foresees healthy addressable for its products in regions like Asia, LATAM and Africa which it could look to cater to in the long term.

❇️ The company is part of PLI for scooters business as well as battery business which shall aid in mitigating some of the costs.

PL View: Ola has created a strong position for itself in the electric scooters market and is in the process of making itself as one of the key players in the battery business in India. While the business outlook and growth prospects look promising, its journey towards profitability could be a key thing to look at as we believe its scooters and battery business are 2-3 years away from breakeven and sustainable profitability.

The World Gold Council’s Q2 2024 Gold Demand Trends report reveals that total global gold demand increased 4% year-on-year to 1,258t, marking the strongest Q2 in our data series. Total demand was supported by healthy over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, up a notable 53% year-on-year at 329t.

Increased OTC demand, continued buying from central banks, and a slowdown in ETF outflows drove record-high gold prices in Q2. The gold price averaged US$2,338/oz, 18% higher year-on-year, reaching a record of US$2,427/oz during the quarter.

Central banks and official institutions increased global gold holdings by 183t, slowing down from the previous quarter but still reflecting a 6% increase year-on-year. Our annual central bank survey confirmed that reserve managers believe gold allocations will continue to rise over the next 12 months, driven by the need for portfolio protection and diversification in a complex economic and geopolitical environment.

Global gold investment remained resilient, marginally higher year-on-year at 254t, concealing divergent demand trends. Bar and coin investment decreased 5% to 261t in Q2, due to a sharp decline in demand for gold coins. Strong retail investment in Asia was counterbalanced by lower levels of net demand in Europe and North America, where profit-taking surged in some markets.

Global gold ETFs saw minor outflows of 7t during the quarter. Asian growth continued, sizable European outflows in April turned into nascent inflows in May and June, and North American outflows slowed significantly compared to the previous quarter.

Record high prices drove down jewellery demand by 19% year-on-year in Q2, but H1 demand remains resilient compared to the same period last year, thanks to a stronger than expected first quarter.

In addition, demand for gold in technology continued to increase, jumping 11% year-on-year driven primarily by the AI boom in the electronics sector which saw an increase of 14% year-on-year.

Total gold supply rose 4% year-on-year, with mine production increasing to 929t. Recycled gold volumes increased 4% compared to the same quarter in 2023, marking the highest second quarter since 2012.

Asset-light model for STUs, healthy returns on projects for bus operators to aid adoption

The supply of electric buses (e-buses) in India will surge 75-80% on-year, albeit on a small base, to 6,000-6,500 this fiscal (see chart in annexure), spurred by increasing deployment via tenders awarded under various schemes for procurement by state transport undertakings (STUs) through the gross cost contract (GCC) model.

These schemes include Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid and) Electric Vehicles (FAME) (1 and 2), National Electric Bus Programme (NEBP) under Convergence Energy Service Ltd (CESL) (1 and 2), and PM-eBus Sewa Scheme. Tenders awarded under these schemes had propelled orders for e-buses to 24,0001 at the beginning of this fiscal.

Efforts by the central government to reduce carbon emissions in public transport are driving e-bus adoption. This, along with favourable contracting terms under the GCC model, which has emerged as the preferred route for e-bus purchase by STUs, has supported deployment.

Bandhan Bank has witnessed decent erosion from 265 levels and recently found support near the important 170 zone, where it has consolidated and is currently indicating a pullback with much improvement in the bias witnessed. The RSI has recovered significantly from the highly oversold zone, indicating a trend reversal and a buy signal. A decisive close above the level of 225 is expected to rise further to 280 levels in the coming days. With the chart looking attractive, we suggest buying the stock for an upside target of 265–280, keeping the stop loss of 190.

At 9.23 am on Tuesday, October Brent oil futures were at $78.61, down by 0.56 per cent, and September crude oil futures on WTI (West Texas Intermediate) were at $75.38, down by 0.57 per cent.

Silver fell as the dollar index remained over 104.5, near a two-week high, as investors await the Federal Reserve’s latest policy announcement. The central bank is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, paving the way for a rate decrease in September. Investors were also waiting for policy decisions from the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England this week. Data showed that the headline PCE price index met expectations, although core rates were somewhat higher than anticipated.

Key economic data slated for release includes German Prelim GDP q/q from Euro Zone and CB Consumer Confidence, JOLTS Job Openings from US Zone.

Gold prices were barely changed as investors braced for the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting and a barrage of US data releases this week that could provide fresh clues about the rate-cut path. The Fed is anticipated to leave interest rates unchanged at the end of its two-day meeting, which begins later today, but acknowledge that inflation has pushed closer to its 2% target, paving the way for policy easing as early as September. Traders expect a quarter-point Fed rate drop in September. According to data, the US personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index increased by 0.1% last month after remaining constant in May.

Key economic data slated for release includes German Prelim GDP q/q from Euro Zone and CB Consumer Confidence, JOLTS Job Openings from US Zone.

FII/FPI: NET SELL: -2474.54 

(17371.87 - 19846.41) 

DII: NET BUY: +5665.54

Revenue: Rs5.7 bn; -12% yoy; -3% qoq. 

Gross margins: 53.9% vs 49.5% yoy and 57.1% qoq. We expect this fall to be mainly due to correction in prices of alloy steel & tubes.

EBITDA: Rs 625 mn; -21.8% yoy; -5.2% qoq mainly due to gross margin decline. Tube division reported EBIT margins of 7% vs 12% yoy and 4% qoq. Steel division reported 13% EBIT margins vs 7% yoy and 17% qoq.

EBITDA margins: 10.8% vs 12.2% in 1QFY24 and 11.1% in 4QFY24.

Adj. PAT: Rs 291 mn; -28.4% yoy and +8.3% qoq.

Our view: 1QFY25 was a miss on revenue and EBITDA margins. Although volume details are unknown at this stage, we expect realization to be the driver for revenue decline. Going forward, we expect margins to rebound due to savings in power cost on account of power plant commissioned in Jul’24. We shall interact with the management and update on the revenue trajectory. Continued subdued performance in the quarters ahead will lead to downward revision to our ISMT & consol. KFIL estimates. We will revisit our estimates post KFIL concall.
