Stock Markets Review

Indian stock market morning report by Keynote Capitals (November 21, 2008, Friday, 7.00 a.m. GMT)

Date: 21 November 2008
Economic and Corporate Developments

- Inflation has declined further to 8.90% for the week ended November 8, 2008 from 8.98% for the previous week, mainly on account of drop in prices of fuel, triggered by fall in international crude oil prices. The lower inflation figure may give RBI the legroom to cut interest rates.

- The rupee opened near its record low this morning at 50.53 per USD but recovered slightly to 50.35/40, though weaker than yesterday's close of 50.18/22.

- The Government is considering easing oversease borrowing norms. It mulls a Rs750bn refinance window to provide concessional funds to Infra, housing and SMEs by leveraging the foreign reserves.

- Two industry associations have asked for a bailout package from the government of India. Assocham asked the aid of $20-25bn to the core sectors while Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) is considering to ask government for similar package.

- The Indian Cabinet has rejected a proposal from the oil ministry to award a deepwater block off the west coast to Cairn India, as apparently the company had not offered the government an attractive share of potential production.

- As per the CEO of JSW Steel, domestic steel manufacturers are unlikely to further cut production in the near term, in spite of a slowdown in demand for steel products in India.

- Titagarh Wagons is unlikely to achieve its revenue target of Rs1000Cr in FY09, on account of the economic downturn, in spite of achieving 47% of its target for the first half of the year. However, its Rs100Cr capex plans in FY09, on modernisation and introduction of new technology in its existing plants in West Bengal, were on track.

- Undeterred by the economic slowdown, Future Group has plans to expand its FMCG, consumer durables, apparels and electronics lines of businesses and targets revenues of Rs10,000Cr by 2012. The Group intends to create Indian brands in FMCG, household consumer durables, electronics and apparel.

- Cummins India will hive off its power generation rental business along with equipment, inventories etc., for a minimum of Rs29Cr to Aggreko Energy. Aggreko Energy rents generator sets across the country. The sale will enable the company to focus its attention on growing its core business.

US markets

The US markets continued to slide yesterday. The S&P 500 recorded its 11year low, while the Dow Jones Industrials closed at a five and half year low. Uncertainties about the aid to troubled auto makers and Citigroup's fate dominated the negative sentiment in the trading session. Citigroup’s shares plunged by 26%. However, as per media reports, it is considering various options to save itself including an option of the outright sale of company. Crude oil prices which dipped below $50/barrel is yet another reason which cautioned the markets on the slowing economy.

Views on markets today

- The Indian markets remained bearish yesterday, with the Sensex closed down 3.7%. Weak global cues and lack of investor interest kept the markets depressed. This is the 8th straight intra-day loss by the Sensex. The markets witnessed another day of weak volumes (BSE Rs29bn, NSE Rs78bn). Provisional data released by these two stock exchanges shows that FIIs sold Rs7.6bn of shares while domestic institutions bought Rs4.3bn of shares.

- The Asian markets opened weak this morning, following the US market cues. Exporters and energy stocks have led the weakness due to the strengthening Yen and weakening crude oil prices.

- Sebi made it clear yesterday that short selling is not driving the markets.

- Buzzing stocks

Indian Stocks Recommendations
Godrej Properties IPO review and analysis by Angel Broking, 9 December 2009
Godrej Properties Limited (GPL) intends to develop its projects through joint development agreements with land owners. Under this asset-light model, GPL will enter into revenue, profit or area-sharing agreements with land owners, instead of an outright purchase of the land. This model avoids direct land dealings for GPL and the locking-up of extensive capital in land. Around 80% of GPL's existing land bank will be executed through joint developments with partners. The Godrej brand name has been associated with quality and strong corporate governance. Both of its existing listed entities, Godrej Consumer Products and Godrej Industries have given CAGR Returns of 48% and 77%, respectively, to investors since 2001. We believe that GPL could leverage its parentage brand (with respect to access to the land at Vikhroli and a strong customer preference towards it), assuring a timely delivery of execution. More than 50% of GPL's existing land bank is exposed towards township projects and in one location (Ahmedabad), which will be executed over the next ten years. Any delay in this execution or a fall in property prices in Ahmedabad will impact our NAV estimates, as 50% of our NAV is derived from this project.
