Post Session Commentary - Oct 26 2009

The Indian market closed in negative territory after a sharp volatile session. The profit booking strengthened in the last few minutes of trading. The investors remained cautious ahead of the RBI’s announcement of monetary policy review on October 27. The Apex bank is likely to keep interest rates unchanged. The RBI in he recnt past has injected huge amount of money in to the banking system to boost the liquidity as well as to revive the economy from the Global financial crisis. So there are speculation in the market that RBI may exit from the loose monetary policy. This led the investors to stay away from the interest rate sensitive indices like Bankex and Realty, which were the major laggards during the trading session. Further the investors remained cautious ahead of the November F&O expiry later this week. The markets also shrugged off the positive global markets. The BSE Sensex closed below the 16,800 mark while Nifty just below 5,000 mark. From the sectoral front, FMCG (0.89%), Health Care (0.87%) and IT (0.51%) indices closed in green. However, Consumer Durables, Banking, Oil & Gas and PSU stocks also remained under pressure.

The market during the trading session witnessed high volatility. The markets started the week on a positive note with marginal gains taking firm cues from the Asian markets. On the global front, the US markets closed lower on Friday as investors booked some profits leaving the major indices to end the week on a down note. The investors also set aside the large batch of better than expected earnings results and an improved rate of existing home sales. The Nasdaq remained in green in the early trade mainly led by a pair of positive earnings from Microsoft and Amazon.com. Shares of Microsoft hit a fresh 15-month high, while shares of Amazon hit new record highs. On the economic front, the existing home sales data for the month of September jumped to an annualized rate of 5.57 million from 5.09 million the month before. Further the Fed Chairmen Bernanke comments about the financial system did not provide much direction to the markets as he didn’t offer any new insight or make any original statements.

Volatility personified

It was a day when the global indices gave mixed leads-the US indicators closed negative overnight, while all the Asian indices closed in green today.

The positive Asian trend was carried forward with the major European indices opening positive and sustaining the gains. At the time of writing this report, FTSE 100 was trading at 5263, about 20 points or 0.39% higher than its earlier close. Among the Asian markets, only the Sensex ended the day in red falling by 0.42%; other major Asian indices rose in the range of 0.06-1.71% each, with the Hang Seng surging the most. The Sensex ignored the positive indicators from the Asian and European markets and closed the day lower in red with volatility written all over it. The selling pressure in realty, consumer durables and banking space dragged the Sensex down in the closing hour of the trade.
In the pre-market report, we had mentioned that the market may remain volatile and range-bound today, and it did exactly the same. It was a day when the market remained range-bound, zigzagging between the negative and positive zones. The Sensex opened marginally lower by 2 points at 16808 and during the day it witnessed high volatility to see the high of 16939 and a low of 16706. However the Sensex couldn't sustain at higher levels and closed 70 points or 0.42% lower to its previous close owing to heavy selling in realty, consumer durables and banking stocks. The Indian market again ignored the positive indicators from the European and Asian markets. Nifty lost 26 points to end the day at 4971. The market breadth was very negative, as out of 2,802 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,743 stocks declined, whereas only 992 stocks advanced. Sixty seven stocks closed unchanged.

Thinksoft Global Services attracts 31% premium on debut

Settles at Rs 164.30 on the BSE compared to IPO price of Rs 125

Shares of software firm Thinksoft Global Services settled at Rs 164.30 on the BSE, a premium of 31.44% over the initial public offer price of Rs 125.

On BSE, 1.79 crore shares were traded on the Thinksoft Global Services counter.

The stock hit a high of Rs 170 and a low of Rs 100. The stock debuted at Rs 100, a discount of 20% over the initial public offer (IPO) of Rs 125 per share.

The current price of Rs 164.30 discounts the year ended March 2009 EPS of Rs 14.40 (based on consolidated financial performance), by a PE multiple of 11.40.

The Chennai-based firm had raised Rs 45.57 crore through the recently concluded IPO. Thinksoft Global Services' IPO ended on 1 October 2009 with subscription of 2.25 times. The IPO got bids for 82.12 lakh shares as against 36.46 lakh shares on offer.

Thinksoft Global Services had on 24 September 2009 extended the closing date of the IPO to 1 October 2009 from the earlier 24 September 2009 as the issue failed to garner sufficient subscription. Also the company had lowered its price band for its initial public offer (IPO) to Rs 115-125 per share from the earlier price band of Rs 120-130 per share.

The IPO was a mix of a fresh issue of 13.5 lakh shares and an offer for sale of 22.96 lakh shares by Gibraltar-based fund, Euro Indo Investments.

Thinksoft Global Services is a financial software testing company. The company plans to set up a Rs 16-crore facility at the Madras Export Processing Zone in Chennai.

The expansion of the unit would help the company expand to newer markets apart from its base in Europe, which accounts for 60% of its revenue.

On a consolidated basis, company's net profit rose 47.55% to Rs 14.49 crore on 24.06% rise in sales to Rs 92.09 crore in the year ended March 2009 (FY 2009) over year ended March 2008.

Market slips on caution ahead of RBI's monetary policy review

The key benchmark indices fell in choppy trade as caution prevailed ahead of the quarterly monetary policy review by the central bank on Tuesday, 27 October 2009. Volatility was high as traders rolled positions in the derivatives segment from October 2009 series to November 2009 series ahead of the expiry October 2009 contracts on Thursday, 29 October 2009.

The BSE 30-share Sensex fell 70.31 points or 0.42%, off close to 200 points from the day's high and up close to 35 points from the day's low. The S&P CNX Nifty fell below the psychological 5,000 mark after regaining that level in early afternoon trade. Nifty had fallen below the 5,000 mark last week on weak global stocks. The market breadth was weak.

Index heavyweight Reliance Industries fell amid volatile trade. The stock had tumbled on Friday, 23 October 2009, after its partner Hardy Oil said on Friday a D9 well will be plugged and abandoned. Banking, metal, realty and construction stocks, fell.

As per provisional data, foreign funds today, 26 October 2009, sold shares with a net Rs 2.74 crore. Domestic funds offloaded equities worth a net Rs 171.16 crore.

Intraday volatility on the bourses was high ahead of the expiry of the near term derivatives contracts this week. Firm Asian stocks helped the market briefly hit positive zone in early trade after an initial slide. Volatility continued later. The market moved into positive zone from negative zone in early afternoon trade. The Sensex hit a fresh intraday high in afternoon trade.

Brazil, China, India and Russia equity funds, all had inflows. Emerging market equity funds have now pulled in over $50 billion in net inflows year-to-date.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday said the economic outlook is a mix of recovery prospects and downside risks, and managing the trade-off between supporting growth and reining in inflation poses a complex policy challenge. It said anchoring inflation expectations in the face of sustained high inflation in essential commodities would be a key challenge and cautioned that weak private consumption and investment demand continued to be a drag on faster recovery.

The RBI said delayed withdrawal of the annual monsoon augured well for winter wheat and oilseeds crops due to high moisture retention in the soil, but this year's deficient summer monsoon could hinder faster recovery.

Analysts say a faster industrial output growth and rising inflationary pressures have strengthened case for an end to the RBI's accommodative monetary stance next year. Industrial output grew at its fastest pace in 22 months in August 2009 at 10.4%. Inflation based on the wholesale price index (WPI) rose 1.21% in the year through 10 October 2009, higher than previous week's annual rise of 0.92%, data released by the government on 22 October 2009 showed.

The RBI pumped in massive liquidity in the banking system in the past one year or so to help revive the domestic economy in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. While as exit from the loose monetary policy is imminent, speculation on the bourses is centred around the timing of the exit policy. The RBI is expected to keep its benchmark lending and borrowing rates on hold at a quarterly monetary policy review on Tuesday, 27 October 2009.

A section of market, however, expects the RBI to raise the cash reserve ratio (CRR), the proportion of deposits that banks keep with the central bank, to tame inflationary pressures in the economy. A possibility of a hike in the statutory liquidity ratio (SRL) cannot be ruled out either. In November 2008, the RBI had reduced the SLR by one percentage point to 24% - its first move in 11 years - as part of its measures to boost liquidity to cushion the impact of the global credit crisis after Lehman Brother's collapse. SLR is the minimum share of bank deposits to be held in approved government securities.

Meanwhile, four major trade unions, including those affiliated with the ruling Congress party and those with the opposition communists, have jointly called for the protests on Wednesday, 28 October 2009. Among the demands are a ban on futures trading in commodities and making government aid to industry conditional on not firing workers.

Stock and sector-specific activity may dominate trade on the bourses in the coming days based on expectations on Q2 September 2009 results. Auto firms are seen reporting strong Q2 results on strong volume growth and on lower input costs. Lower interest rates and pay hike for government employees has boosted auto sales this year after last year's slowdown in demand. Government employees have started receiving the balance 60% of their wage arrears as per the recommendations of the VIth Pay Commission.

Cement firms, too, are seen reporting good Q2 numbers on the back of volume growth, higher realisation and decline in costs like imported coal. Metal firms are seen reporting fall in net profit due to a sharp fall in metal prices on year-on-year basis.

Fall in volumes in the commercial property segment and lower realisations in both commercial and residential property segments, will pull earnings of realty firms lower.

Banks are seen reporting a sedate growth in core lending amid sluggish credit offtake. On the flip side, PSU banks will benefit from treasury gains amid volatility in prices of government securities during the quarter.

Strong growth in new subscriber additions will aid topline growth of telecom firms. But falling average revenue per user (ARPU) and revenue per minute due to intense competition will cap bottom line growth.

European shares rose Monday, with autos and chemical firms leading a broad-based advance, although ING shares declined after the firm announced a restructuring. The key benchmark indices in France, Germany and UK were up by between 0.2% to 0.38%.

GfK AG's consumer climate indicator is forecasting a value of 4 points for November 2009, a decline from a revised value of 4.2 points in October 2009, the Nuremberg-based GfK Group said in a statement on Monday

IMF deputy managing director Takatoshi Kato on Monday said it is too early for countries to abandon economic stimulus policies but they should start mapping out exit strategies

Back home, the supply of paper by Indian firms appear limitless, raising concerns that additional share sales will suck liquidity from the secondary equity market. As per reports, Indian firms have garnered about $9 billion (Rs 32,400 crore at the current exchange rates) through sale of shares and convertible bonds to institutional buyers since April 2009. Indian companies are taking advantage of a surge in liquidity to recapitalize and fund capital expenditure after being starved of cash last year.

Most of these companies - from industries ranging from liquor and spirits to infotech - issued equity shares to a select group of investors by way of qualified institutional placement or QIP. If the enabling resolutions passed by the companies are any indication, Indian firms are gearing up to raise $15 billion (Rs 69,427 crore) in the next six months. The list includes Hindalco (Rs 2,900 crore), JSW Steel ($1 billion), India Cements ($100 million), Essar Oil ($2 billion), Tata Steel (Rs 5,000 crore), Jet Airways ($ 400 million) and Bharat Forge ($150 million).

Unlisted Reliance Infratel announced on 22 September 2009 its intention to raise Rs 5,000 crore from the primary market. Divestment of state-run firms by the government may also increase the supply of paper in the market.

Meanwhile, RIL told the Supreme Court, last week, it had no knowledge of the pact between its chairman Mukesh Ambani and his younger brother Anil. On the third day of hearing on the gas supply dispute between the group firms of the Ambani brothers, Justice R.V. Raveendran asked RIL to satisfy the bench that the MoU, signed in 2005, was not between two companies, but two individuals. The bench also enquired if the pact, which has not been made public till date, could be produced before the court.

Mukesh Ambani-controlled Reliance Industries, India's top conglomerate, is fighting with Reliance Natural Resources, led by younger brother Anil Ambani, over the terms of a deal to sell gas to Reliance Natural at below the price set by the government. Reliance Industries has been presenting initial arguments in the case before the Supreme Court since 20 October 2009, saying the private deal between the Ambani brothers is not binding on the company, and it can sell the gas only at the government-approved price.

The government, which has the power to decide who can buy gas and at what price, had filed an application asserting it is the rightful owner of the disputed gas.

Anil Ambani's Reliance Natural Resources claims the contract is valid and wants the court to direct Reliance Industries to supply it with 28 mmscmd of gas for 17 years at almost half the government-set price of $4.2 per mmBtu.

The Supreme Court will resume hearing the case on Tuesday, 27 October 2009, with Reliance Industries expected to conclude its initial arguments by Thursday, 29 October 2009. The court will then hear arguments by Reliance Natural Resources, following which it will consider a petition by the government to become a party to the dispute.

Oil exploration stocks fell as crude oil prices fell for a third day on Monday after four weeks of gains pushed prices above levels justified by a recovery in demand. Fall in crude oil prices would result in lower realizations from crude sales for oil exploration firms. Crude for December 2009 delivery fell as much as 93 cents, or 1.2%, to $79.57 a barrel in Asian electronic trading.

Cairn India fell 1.77%. UK-based oil and gas exploration major Cairn Energy Plc recently mopped up $240 million by selling 2.3% in its Indian subsidiary Cairn India to Malaysia's Petronas International Corporation.

With this move, Petronas' stake in Cairn India jumps to 14.94%, within touching distance of an open offer trigger. Cairn UK now retains a 62.75% interest in Cairn India, which made a major oil discovery (Mangala) in Rajasthan in the north west of India in 2004.

India's largest drugmaker by sales Ranbaxy Laboratories rose 2.59% after the company reported net profit of Rs 186.08 crore in Q3 September 2009 as against a net loss of Rs 352.93 crore in Q3 September 2008. The result hit the market during trading hours

Bank stocks fell after comments from a finance ministry official on Friday, 23 October 2009, dashed hopes for the central bank relaxing mark-to-market rules for bank's debt holdings.

India's largest bank by branch network State Bank of India fell 2.05%. State Bank of India (SBI) announced on Saturday that it has concluded the issue of $750 million fixed rate senior notes having a maturity of 5 years at a coupon of 4.50% under the Medium Term Notes (MTN) Programme in the form of Regulation S Global Note.

India's largest private sector bank by net profit ICICI Bank fell 1.49% as its ADR fell 1.73% on Friday. The bank recently reduced auto loan rates by 50 basis points.

Banks do not have to make any mark-to-market provisions on securities held in the HTM basket if prices of securities fall. Provisions have to be made out of profit and therefore, impact a bank's bottom line. Yields on ten-year government bonds have risen sharply this year. Bond prices and bond yields are inversely related.

Meanwhile, a committee headed by RBI executive director Deepak Mohanty recently suggested discontinuing the usage of a bank's prime lending rate (PLR) as the benchmark for variable rate loans. Instead, it wants banks to arrive at a base rate that reflects the cost of one-year deposits and price loans over this base rate.

The panel has also proposed a ceiling on the extent of loans that can be granted below the benchmark rate. Most banks typically pass on the benefit of falling rates only to fresh customers. RBI governor D Subbarao has repeatedly said though the central bank has slashed its repo rate (at which it lends to banks) by 425 basis points in the last one year, prime lending rates of banks have fallen by only around 200 basis points.

Lenders currently offer loans at less than the benchmark prime lending rate to about 10 categories of borrowers, according to the central bank. Some of these loans are at rates that don't "make much commercial sense" for the banks, according to the report.

Global rating agency Moody's on 21 October 2009 assigned moderate credit risk rating to 13 Indian commercial banks, including the country's largest public sector lender State Bank of India and private entity ICICI Bank.

Moody's Investor Service in a statement said it has changed the systemic support input for Indian banks' ratings to Baa2 from the A1 local currency deposit ceiling. Baa2 generally refers to moderate credit risk.

The RBI in its report on trend and progress of banking in India for 2008/09 released on Thursday, 22 October 2009, said it needs to assess and initiate measures to raise the capital base of state-run banks.

But, India's largest dedicated housing finance firm HDFC rose 1.69%. HDFC's net profit rose 24.27% to Rs 663.94 crore in Q2 September 2009 over Q2 September 2008. The results beat market expectations.

This could lead to Rs 300-400 crore increased liability for the realty major.

Realty stocks have risen sharply over the past few weeks on reports that demand for residential projects in major cities is picking up on lower home loan rates, property price cuts by developers and a recovery in the job market.

India's largest copper maker by sales Sterlite Industries fell 0.75%. The company recently raised $500 million in convertible senior notes and plans to use the proceeds primarily for expansion of its copper business. The notes are convertible into American depositary shares at $23.33 per share.

Steel Authority of India (Sail) fell 0.69%. The steel minister said last week the government has approved a follow-on public offering of 20%. The government holds 85.82% stake in Sail.

But, India's largest steel maker by sales Tata Steel rose 1.79%. Tata Steel and state-run MMTC, last week, signed an agreement to set up a joint venture to acquire, develop, operate mines and process minerals and metals. Tata Steel would hold 74 % stake in the proposed JV, while the remaining 26% will be held by MMTC

Construction stocks fell on profit taking. Hindustan Construction Company, Nagarjuna Construction Company Era Infra Engineering, Gayatri Projects fell by between 0.48% to 4.91%.

The company announced result after market hours on 21 October 2009. The company also announced 1:2 bonus issue at the time of announcing Q2 results

Reliance Infrastructure fell 2.36%. Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Infrastructure has reportedly again raised the issue of marketing margins being charged by Reliance Industries on sale of gas from the D6 block in Krishna Godavari basin. It has asked the ministry of power to take up the matter in the meeting of empowered group of ministers that is scheduled for Tuesday.

UltraTech said the performance was affected on a sequential basis due to lower demand in Southern India. The net profit dropped 39.94% to Rs 250.90 crore in Q2 September 2009 over Q1 June 2009.

Faster industrial output growth and rising inflationary pressures have strengthened case for an end to the RBI's accommodative monetary stance next year. Industrial output grew at its fastest pace in 22 months in August 2009 at 10.4%.Inflation based on the wholesale price index (WPI) rose 1.21% in the year through 10 October 2009, higher than previous week's annual rise of 0.92%, date released by the government on Thursday showed.

The RBI pumped in massive liquidity in the banking system in the past one year or so to help revive the domestic economy in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. While as exit from the loose monetary policy is imminent, speculation on the bourses is the timing of the exit policy. The RBI is expected to keep its benchmark lending and borrowing rates on hold at a quarterly monetary policy review on 27 October 2009. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor said on Friday he had reviewed the current economic situation with the finance minister, ahead of the quarterly monetary policy review next week.

Stock and sector-specific activity may dominate trade on the bourses in the coming days based on expectations on Q2 September 2009 results. Auto firms are seen reporting strong Q2 results on strong volume growth and on lower input costs. Lower interest rates and pay hike for government employees has boosted auto sales this year after last year's slowdown in demand. Government employees have started receiving the balance 60% of their wage arrears as per the recommendations of the VIth Pay Commission.

Cement firms, too, are seen reporting good Q2 numbers on the back of volume growth, higher realisation and decline in costs like imported coal. Metal firms are seen reporting fall in net profit due to a sharp fall in metal prices on year-on-year basis.

Indian companies are taking advantage of a surge in liquidity to recapitalize and fund capital expenditure after being starved of cash last year.

Most of these companies - from industries ranging from liquor and spirits to infotech - issued equity shares to a select group of investors by way of qualified institutional placement or QIP.
