Tata Motors Q4 net up 10% at Rs 591 cr

May 29 Tata Motors has reported a 10 per cent growth in net profit at Rs 591 crore for the quarter ending March 31, 2009 as against Rs 536 crore in the corresponding period last year. Net income dropped 21 per cent to Rs 6,895 crore (Rs 8,750 crore).

Net profit for the fiscal fell 51 per cent to Rs 1,001.26 crore (Rs 2,028.92 crore) while revenue was down 11 per cent to Rs 25,660.79 crore (Rs 28,739.41 crore).

High input costs and interest rates in the first half of the fiscal coupled with tight liquidity and low consumer sentiments in the latter half impacted margins, said Mr C. Ramakrishnan, Chief Financial Officer, at a press conference here on Friday. Tata Motors’ overall vehicle sales dropped 13 per cent to 5.06 lakh units (5.85 lakh units).


The company, however, improved its performance from the third quarter ending December 2008 when it reported a Rs 262-crore loss. “The October-December quarter was bad but each successive month turned out to be better. Barring heavy commercial vehicles, all segments have sprung back,” said Mr Ravi Kant, Managing Director, Tata Motors.

Capex cut

Mr Ramakrishnan said the company would go in for a substantial capital expenditure cut in the medium term. “Given our wide product portfolio, we have a capex plan of Rs 10,000 crore for 2-3 years. We are planning a cutback of about Rs 2,500 crore. Our product development plan will go on and the cutback will mainly be in capacity expansion,” he added.

The capex last fiscal was around Rs 4,000 crore and is expected to be in the range of Rs 3,000-3,500 crore in the next couple of years. Besides this, Tata Motors plans a cost reduction of Rs 1,000 crore for the next three years.

The board has recommended a dividend of Rs 6 on ordinary share and Rs 6.50 on “A” share. The company’s shares closed 1.20 per cent up on the NSE at Rs 336.85.

New MD

Mr Prakash M. Telang (61) is the new Managing Director of Tata Motors. He takes over from Mr Ravi Kant who steps down on June 1. Mr Kant will, however, continue as non-executive Vice-Chairman.

India's Q4 GDP at 5.8 per cent

>> Friday, May 29, 2009

India's economy grew a faster than expected 5.8 percent in the March quarter from a year earlier, as a still strong services sector offset a decline in manufacturing.

The annual growth for India's fiscal fourth quarter was above a median forecast of 5.2 percent in a Reuters poll, but sharply lower than the year-ago quarter's 8.6 percent expansion.

The manufacturing sector contracted 1.4 percent in the January-March quarter from a year earlier, while farm output grew an annual 2.7 percent, government data showed on Friday.

For the full year, India's economy grew 6.7 percent in 2008/09, sharply slower than the 9.0 or more in the previous three years. The FY09 projection was 7.1%

Farm sector growth has been revised to 1.6% vs 2.6% earlier.

Stocks not expensive yet : Jhunjhunwala

>> Thursday, May 28, 2009

Maverick investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala believes bold reforms such as opening up the country's insurance and pensions to foreigners will becritical to quell concerns about the market being pricey and sustain a stock market rally.

Expectations for economic reforms in India have gathered momentum after the ruling coalition was re-elected with more seats in parliament nearly two weeks ago.

"Insurance, pension reforms are going to be extremely important for the stock market because the kind of money we'll get from that is unbelievable," Jhunjhunwala, dubbed by the media as India's Warren Buffett, told Reuters in an interview.

The main stock index, which has jumped 16 percent since the election victory, taking gains to three-quarters from a 2009 low in early March, could rise another 10 percent to 15,500 by the end of December, he said.

"It is very much contingent on factors. One is how things pan out internationally and the second is how well the government meets expectations," he said, sitting in his plush 15th-floor office overlooking Mumbai's financial district.

"If both turn into favour, then I don't think valuations are expensive," he said, adding 12,500 would be the base for the index.

Jhunjhunwala, who started more than two decades ago with about $100 and whose wealth was pegged at $1 billion last year by Forbes magazine, said infrastructure-related sectors, banking and retail could prosper with a stable government in office.

Entertainment could also prove to be a growth area, while drugmakers offered good opportunity.

"I think the Indian cost benefit and research benefit is extremely high. I am very bullish on the sector," he said, referring to pharmaceuticals.

He was wary on the outsourcing sector amid the U.S. recession and weak dollar, but said it was important for India's economy.

"If software exports grow 10 to 15 percent and commodity prices hold at these levels or slightly below, I see no reason why India will not grow 10 to 11 percent in two years," said Jhunjhunwala, a heavy smoker who relishes Blue Label whiskey.

He also said the proposed merger between leading Indian mobile operator Bharti Airtel and South Africa's MTN would add value to shareholders of the two firms.

Bharti's balance sheet and cash flow showed that its interest cover was good and the deal posed minimum risk to the company, which is planning to raise about $4 billion in debt, he said.

The father of a five-year-old girl and 2-1/2-month-old twin boys, Jhunjhunwala also trades in commodities, debt and currency but his biggest exposure is in stocks and his office features a painting of the Bombay Stock Exchange.

"I have far less than what people think, but far more than I need," the bespectacled investor said. - From : Economic Times

Buy HDIL; target of Rs 365: PINC Research

PINC Research has recommended a buy rating on Housing Development and Infrastructure, (HDIL) with a price target of Rs 365 in its report dated May 25, 2009.

"Housing Development & Infrastructure Ltd's (HDIL) Q4FY09 results were below our expectations. Its revenues declined 63.3% YoY to Rs 3.6 billion owing to a slowdown in the Mumbai property market. OPM for the period dipped by 3,158bps YoY to 57% owing to higher cost of construction & development (38% of net sales) incurred towards ongoing projects. Despite other income of Rs 309 million, net profits dropped by 91.3% YoY to Rs 619 million impacted by interest cost of Rs 1.4 billion."

"We have estimated the NAV of HDIL's projects (ongoing & proposed), including the SEZ land at Vasai/Virar at Rs 338/share. The airport project is expected to add another Rs 150/share, taking the company's total NAV to Rs 487/share. Considering an up-tick in buyers' response to its new offerings, infusion of equity, easing interest & debt repayment woes and an expected revival in the TDR market over the next few months, we upgrade our recommendation to 'BUY' on the stock, target Rs 365," says PINC's research report.

Reliance Mutual Fund launches infra fund

>> Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group-controlled Reliance Mutual Fund, today annnounced the launch of its Reliance Infrastructure Fund.

The infrastructure fund, an open-ended fund, will invest predominantly in companies engaged in infrastructure and infrastructure-related sectors in the country, Reliance Capital Asset Management CEO Sundeep Sikka told reporters here.

The primary investment objective of the fund will be to generate long-term capital appreciation. It will invest in equity and equity-related instruments of companies engaged in infrastructure and infrastructure-related sectors like transport, banks and financial institutions, energy, power and oil, metals and minerals, telecom and urban infrastructure amongst others.

"Infrastructure is a key priority for India and we hope a spurt of infrastructure spending in the economy on the back of a stable Government and ease of project financing," Sikka said.

The right time is now to invest in infrastructure and infrastructure-related firms, a sector which is likely to get a boost from the new government, he said.

"The valuations look more attractive and the environment stable with the new government settling in. This makes it the right time to launch an infastructure fund more than ever," Sikka said.

The new fund offers two plans-Retail and Institutional. Each plan has a growth and dividend plan option.

The fund will invest at least 65 per cent of its assets in engineering, cement and power stocks as well as banks, whereas the rest will be invested in debt and money markets.

"We expect investors in large numbers to participate in the ever-growing sector with long-term capital appreciation," Sikka said.

Reliance MF saw no meaningful redemptions in the last one year and is very optimistic on global flows into India.

The fund-house is currently avoiding sectors that can be hurt by a rupee rise.It was currently overweight on the textile and pharmaceutical sectors and underweight on the information technology sector.

The fund-house is keen to buy shares of PSUs when their disinvestment takes place and if valuations are good, a Reliance Mutual Fund official said on condition of anonymity.

Reliance Mutual Fund is managing a corpus of over Rs 88,388 crore for over 71-lakh investors as on April 2009.

Bharti and MTN open talks of merger again.

>> Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Bharti Airtel India’s leading telecom service provider today in its press release said that it has renewed its effort to acquire 49% stake in MTN. The deal is suppose to be of woofing 23 Billion $.

The deal being pursued, could potentially create a telco that will rank in the top 5 globally, with more than 200 million customers and $20 billion in annual revenues.

Bharti Airtel will buy a 49% shareholding in MTN. MTN and its shareholders will acquire a 36% economic interest in Bharti, of which 25% will be held by MTN and 11% by MTN shareholders.

Bharti and MTN have agreed to discuss the potential transaction until July 31 , 2009.

Read the full post...

India set to have 1 bn mobile users by 2014

One of the most important reasons for Bharti to emerge as a frontrunner for equity stake in MTN is its leadership position in India projected to be the world’s ranking telecom market in just a few years.

DoT, in a first ever forecast of mobile penetration across India for the next six years, has projected a billion mobile phones by 2014. This forecast is part of a spectrum committee report prepared by the DoT that is expected to be made public after the new telecom minister takes office.

It is well established that India has had one of the most remarkable growths in mobile phones since the sector was first opened to private investment in 1994. From two operators in each circle in 1995 the country now has 12 to 13 operators. Of these, about six to seven are fully functional, offering the Indian consumer unprecedented choice and low tariffs.

India has also been breaking all types of records on new subscriber additions in the last two years by adding up to 8 to 10 million phones a month, sometimes more. The latest report of the DoT put together by its committee shows that India will reach the half a billion mobile mark by 2010 and within four years reach 1 billion mobile subscribers.

In 2014, India’s population is expected to be 1.26 billion, with mobile penetration of 1.01 billion the mobile teledensity would be 80% above. It would mean 8 out of every 10 Indians will have access to a mobile device.

This probably reflects the world’s largest new growth opportunity over the next five years, surpassing China’s potential. China is already at nearly 700 million mobile phones as compared to India’s 400 million. The fact that India will add more than 600 million new subscribers must rate as the biggest subscriber adds for any country in the world.

Some of the imperatives to reach this figure would include redefining spectrum allocation and pricing policies, early 3G auctions, and reviewing the M&A norms.

It is clear that no country in the world can sustain a fragmented telecom market of 12 to 13 players per circle. In the end, the market will have to consolidate to between three to four national players and two or three regional players with an average subscriber base of approximately 150 million each by 2014.

Rupee may climb to 46 a dollar in 12 months

The Indian rupee is likely to appreciate to 46 a dollar in the backdrop of a stable government at the centre and relatively resilient domestic demand, says a report by global financial services giant Goldman Sachs.

"We expect the INR to appreciate further from current levels as the stable government and relatively resilient domestic demand become key catalysts for foreign inflows," the report said, adding that the Indian currency "may touch Rs 46 to a dollar within 12 months."

Noting that there are significant pressures for rupee appreciation, the report said that the Indian currency gained about 5 per cent against dollar since the victory for the Congress-led UPA in the general elections.

With the rupee strengthening, it said the sectors dependent on imports will gain, the exports will be hit.

"Oil distribution, fertiliser and capital goods companies are amongst the largest importers and are likely to benefit from a stronger INR. On the other hand, IT, textiles, pharmaceutical, and export-oriented oil refining are likely to be hit by a strong INR," the report added.

Having appreciated during the last six trading sessions, rupee on Monday declined by 22 paise to 47.32 a dollar in early trade on expectations of fresh capital outflow by foreign funds.

Mr. Market Thou Shall not fall!

>> Monday, May 25, 2009

I think this is the 'jittery optimism' with which we start this week. Since May 18th on which we saw a historic 17% move in the markets, the collective belief of the investors has been upbeat and positive for the better future prospects of the stock markets.



 

The enthusiasm received further fuel on market close friday (May 22nd)

when Indian markets dodged a regional slide in Asia-Pacific markets, and ended the week with 14% gains.



 

While US and UK markets debated consequences of a rating cut by S&P500, Indian markets celebrated the commencement of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's second term. I feel in the market there is this insecure and almost desperate need to believe that the worst is over! Trying to separate myself from this euphoria, I started looking at how certain stocks have performed during the past 3 months.


 

 

The results were quite unbelievable. As of Friday May 22nd:



Sensex has recorded 1 month gain of 34% and 3 month gain of 40% .

Nifty 30% in 1 month, 40% in 3 months.



 

Looking at the above numbers you will realize that the market has moved much higher and suddenly the stocks have become too expensive to accumulate. To emphasize my point further, I have summarized the 5 day, 1 month and 3 month performance of seven of my most favorite stocks.

 



Take a look, again data as of May 22nd 2009:

 



LNT up 50% in 1 month, up 100% in 3 months


BHEL up 22% in 1 month, up 45% in 3 months


REL up 23% in 1 month, up 74% in 3 months


SBI up 36% in 1 month, up 65% in 3 months


HDFC up 25% in 1 month, up 57% in 3 months


ICICI up 65% in 1 month, up 109% in 3 months


BHARTI up 21% in 1 month, up 33% in 3 months



 

The above data gives us confirmation of the fact that markets have moved out of the lows seen in Jan-Mar, but also poses the question, is this right time to hold back or continue to buy?

 


For me the bigger risk of political instability, credit crisis have abated, I have renewed hope in the new government to pursue policy implementation, but are these enough? Do we have the economic driver to take the markets higher or have we moved too high too fast. 

 



I am not sure of the answer. Let me know what you think.

Snap Shot of the Key Business :
The company is engaged in production of tyres from rubber.
It is from Tyre and Tubes Industry. Its key competitors are JK Tyres, MRF , Etc.

Key Financial :
Net Profit if compared to March 08 and March 09.
Sept 2008 - 918.87 Cr.
March 2009 - 1110.56 Cr.


The financial are looking strong as Turn over and net profit is always increasing.

Key Risks:
The rubber has been volatile since past 4-5 months. There has been a 20% increase in the price of rubber. This has lead to increase in the rice of Raw Material as the inventory stored is of maximum of 7 days or so.
Rubber is the basic component in the manufacture of tyres so increase in the price of rubber = less of profits.

Vredestein Banden:
Recently the company acquired a Dutch Company Vredestein Banden , which can result in the company to increase its profits and way to global expansion.The deal is expected to be for a consideration of around $300 million.
Vredestein is a premium tier I tyre manufacturer with a portfolio of high-end, high speed rated passenger car tyres going up to a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

Best price to buy Apollo Tyres:
Due to current stock market political rise the stock rose fro 14 levels to 28 levels. So technically speaking the support of the stock 22 is the best price to buy this stock.

Inflation rises to 0.61% on higher food prices

New Delhi, May 21 Inflation edged up in early May on account of higher food prices, but held near a three-decade low, giving more freedom to the RBI to take steps to support a slowing economy.

The annual Wholesale Price Index-based inflation rose 0.61 per cent during the week ended May 9, higher than 0.48 per cent during the previous week. The increase in headline inflation was primarily on account of food articles, with year-on-year inflation in items such as vegetables (21 per cent), cereals (12 per cent) and pulses (15 per cent) continuing to remain in double digits.

Wholesale prices may exhibit a declining trend for a few weeks in the coming months, though that does not mean India is in the grip of deflation, the RBI Governor, Mr D. Subbarao, had said last week.

Headline inflation has held below 1 per cent for two months, after reaching a 16-year high of 12.91 per cent last August.

Rupee trims gains after reaching 2009 high

The rupee rose past 47 per dollar to a five-month high on Friday before trimming gains on suspected central bank intervention and dollar buying by refiners, but still notched its biggest weekly gain in 13 years.

The partially convertible rupee ended at 47.11/12, after strengthening as far as 46.90, its highest since Dec. 19, and stronger than Thursday's close of 47.37/38.

It rose 4.9 percent over the week, its biggest weekly gain in 13 years according to Reuters data, after the Congress-led coalition's resounding election win raised expectations for economic reforms and greater foreign investment.

The rupee's sharp gains were slowed by dollar buying by state-run banks, suspected to be acting on behalf of the Reserve Bank given the sharp gains seen this week, traders said.

"There was a bit of RBI (central bank) buying, though I think some banks unwinded morning's long rupee positions," a senior trader with a private-sector bank said.

Dealers said crude refiners also bought dollars. Oil, India's biggest import, rose to a six-month high above $62 a barrel this week.

Analysts expect the rupee to strengthen further. The median forecast in a Reuters poll this week was for the rupee to end 2009 at 46.25, helped by foreign inflows.

Foreigners have bought more than $3 billion of local equities so far this month, including $1 billion since the election results. The inflow is a key driver for the rupee.

The BSE Sensex rose 1.1 percent on Friday, taking their gains for the post-election week to 14.1 percent, its biggest weekly rise in 17 years.

One-month offshore non-deliverable forward contracts were quoting at 47.17/27, close to the onshore spot rate.

Gold rallies further, silver recovers

Gold prices flared up for the third consecutive day on the bullion market here today on persistent buying by stockists on the back of higher global cues.

Silver prices also recovered sharply on renewed industrial demand.

Gold prices held near two-month high above USD 950 an ounce in Europe today, consolidating after the previous session's two per cent rise, as investors bought the metal as a hedge against the weak dollar and financial risk.

Spot gold was quoted at USD 954.10 an ounce as against USD 953.40 an ounce late in New York on Thursday after reaching a high of USD 955.95 an ounce level for the first time since late March.

In the domestic market, standard gold (99.5 purity) rose further by Rs 105 per ten grams to Rs 14,540 from the yesterday's closing of Rs 14,435.

Pure gold (99.9 purity) also hardened by Rs 110 per ten grams to Rs 14,610 from Rs 14,500 previously.

Silver ready (.999 fineness) shot up by Rs 280 per kilo to Rs 22,770 from Rs 22,490.

Rupee appreciation likely in coming months: TCS CFO

Software firm Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said further strengthening of rupee against the US dollar is a possibility in the
months ahead, but the topline of the company will not be affected unless it appreciates to 42-43 level.

"Over a period, a rupee appreciation is a possibility...unless the rupee slides back to the 42-43 range, it is not going to affect the topline," TCS Chief Financial Officer S Mahalingam said at a financial meet here today.

TCS will continue to play aggressive in the domestic market and has the requisite set of skills to execute complex projects, he said, adding the company would continue to hire in its on-shore division.

TCS' revenue hedging outstanding roughly stands at $600-million, out of which $399-million is for the current year. "Out of this $399-million, we have already used $100-million this year," he said.

The company has not taken any additional hedging positions this year and will look at the option after evaluating the risk-management policy, he said.

Moneyvidya.com weekly market update

This week is one which will be remembered for the breaking of two records in as many days as the markets reacted with exchuberance to the ending of weeks of political uncertainty. 

The weeked announcement of the Lok Sabha election results caught most people totally off guard by returning a far more stable UPA government than had been previously anticipated by political or market analysts. As a result money poured into the markets as soon as they opened and before lunchtime on Monday the second upper circuit breaker had been breached for the first time and trading was suspended for the day after a 17% rise in both the benchmark indices. 

 
Tuesday then saw another record broken as the cash segment witnessed the highest single day trading volumes since the exchanges opened. The pattern of the day saw FIIs buying heavily (net $1bn) while domestic funds booked profits with slightly more enthusiasm, resulting in a very minor downward correction following a day of huge volumes and volatility.
 
The remainder of the week was characterised by new money flowing into the markets being offset by large scale liquidations as investors booked profits. Declines on Wednesday and Thursday were followed by a a modest rally on Friday, led by infrastucture and banking stocks. The net effect of the dramatic week’s trading was that by close of play on Friday the Sensex stood at 13,887 up over 1,700 points or 14.4%. The Nifty ended the week on 4,232 after gaining 561 points or 15.2%.
 
Where the markets go from here is a big unknown as the election results was so unanticipated that the market seems to be still catching its breath. 
 
The medium term prospects will of course depend on the budget and reform program which the new government announces, as well as global market developments. In the short term however there is a certain degree of concern (and rightly so) regarding whether current valuations are sustainable. On a P/E basis Indian markets are now more expensive than any of the other BRIC economies and this culd cause a temporary drying up of FII interest.  Some analysts are already calling the top of the recent rally and while this may be premature there is certainly significant downside risk for the coming weeks.

Weekly News letter and stocks to watch out for.

Markets gained yet again for the ninth consecutive week amidst high volatility as aggressive buying was witnessed on the first trading day.
The BSE Sensex breached the 12,000 mark on the back of positive global cues and buying support from FIIs and domestic institutions.

FII Trends are expected to remain positive.

The week ahead, maybe guided by the trends in the international markets at the beginning while back home, the IIP numbers which are expected to be announced in the mid-week could marginally influence the markets.

Volatility is expected to remain high as the results of Elections will be coming on 16th May.

  • Pharma
  • Telecom
  • FMCG

NIFTY Weekly Technical analysis.

Last week we saw NIFTY was in a bullish mode.
Last week NIFTY closed at 3473 and this week at 3620 a huge gain.
FII's participation was good.
NIFTY TRIN at 1.735
Over all Nifty is Range Bounded.
NIFTY Nature - Between 3400 - 3750.

Waiting till Election results are declared is the best strategy.

Current Spot - 3620.70
Support - 3540 and 3470
Resistance - 3725 and 3805
Reversal from either of these levels would provide the opportunity to initiate fresh short positions. (Resistance)

Nifty scaled the 3600 mark last Monday and went on to close the week above this level. Next medium term target zone for Nifty, if we consider the retracement of the down-move from January 2008 peak, lies between 3800 and 4000. July 2008 trough at 3790 will also be keenly watched as a possible resistance. Close below 3270 is needed to mitigate the positive medium-term view for the index.


Short-term outlook for Nifty is also positive and immediate targets are at 3730 and 3794. Supports for the week would be available at 3560 and 3460. Fresh longs should be avoided on a close below the first support.
