Great Eastern Shipping (Rs 247.7): Sell



We recommend a sell in the stock of Great Eastern Shipping Company from a short-term horizon. From March low of Rs 142, the stock had continued to be in an intermediate-term uptrend till October high of Rs 310. After encountering significant long-term resistance around Rs 310, the stock changed direction by resuming its long-term downtrend. The stock has been trending downwards since January 2008 high of Rs 572. In late October, the stock conclusively penetrated its intermediate-term up trendline as well as 50-day moving average. It is trading well below its 21- and 50 day moving averages. The daily relative strength index (RSI) has re-entered the bearish zone and weekly RSI is slipping towards this zone in the neutral region. We are bearish on the stock from a short-term perspective. We expect it to decline until it hits our price target of Rs 222. Traders with short-term horizon can sell the stock while maintaining stop-loss a stop-loss at Rs 261.

Fedders Lloyd Corp (Rs 72.5): Buy



Investors with a short-term trading perspective can buy Fedders Lloyd Corporation at current level. Short-term trend in the stock is bullish.

The stock closed above the immediate resistance at Rs 69 on Monday implying that the vertical climb can extend. Investors can buy the stock with a stop at Rs 68. The uptrend is expected to take the stock to the target of Rs 82 in the short-term.

Index Outlook: The long-awaited correction



Sensex (15,896.3)

The breezy roller-coaster ride that we had expected turned in to a scary hurtle downward as the Sensex plunged 914 points last week recording the largest weekly decline in the last three months. The cut was much deeper in mid and small stocks especially those reporting adverse earnings as tolerance to negative news nosedived. The truncated week ahead is likely to be influenced by the Federal Open Market Committee meeting scheduled next week and the signals that are flashed from there.

Sudden reversal in stock prices made volumes soar sky-high, especially in derivative segment. Volumes in futures and options segment reached record levels mid-week close to the expiry of October contracts. The vicious side of the market was amply demonstrated in the way it waited for the belief in the current rally’s invincibility to get all-pervasive before reversing lower: waiting for the last bear to turn in to a bull. Sensex’ close below the 50-day moving average is a negative as is the close below the previous peak of 16,002. 10-day rate of change indicator declined in to the negative zone for the first time since August and the 14-day relative strength index has declined to 32. The weekly oscillators are however still in the positive zone implying that though the short-term trend is very weak, the medium term trend is not overtly so yet.

Though we had anticipated a correction last week, the magnitude was far greater than envisaged. We had expected a terminal corrective wave that moved sideways for a few weeks before the move from July lows ended. But the decline last week throws up a zigzag formation from July lows that could mark the completion of the C wave from March lows.

But we will wait for a confirmation of one more week to see if this decline prolongs and leads the index to a firm close below 16,000. Another fight-back by the bulls from these levels can result in a sideways move between 16,000 and 18000 for the rest of this year, indicated in our previous columns.

If the Sensex records a strong close below 16,000 next week, it would mean that an intermediate term correction is in progress that has the minimum targets of 14659 and 13885 – the opportunity that those who have missed the rally so far, are waiting for.

A rebound next week can take the Sensex higher to 16,450, 16,650 or 16,848. Failure to move above the first resistance would imply that weakness will persist to drag the index down to 14917 or 14740.

Reliance Power (Rs 138.5): Sell



We recommend a sell in the stock of Reliance Power from a short-term perspective. It is apparent from the charts that the stock was on an intermediate-term uptrend from March low of Rs 89 to its June high of Rs 210. Triggered by negative divergence and presence of significant long-term resistance around Rs 200, the stock resumed its long-term downtrend which has been in place since February 2008 high of Rs 374. Moreover, since June it has been on an intermediate-term downt rend. In early October, the stock breached its 21-day and 50-day moving averages and is hovering way below them. Both the daily relative strength index (RSI) and moving average convergence and divergence (MACD) indicators are featuring in the bearish territory. The weekly indicators are on the verge of entering in to the bearish territory. Our short-term forecast on the stock is bearish. We expect the stock’s downtrend to prolong until it hits our price target of Rs 124 in the approaching trading sessions. Traders with a short-term perspective can sell the stock while maintaining a stop-loss at Rs 146.

Rural Electrification Corp: Buy



Fresh investments can be considered in the stock of Rural Electrification Corporation (REC), a navratna public sector undertaking, which finances all the segments across the power value chain.

Secured advances with a high asset quality (net non-performing assets of almost zero) coupled with sustainable spreads are the key positives for REC when compared to most finance companies. Even after gaining more than 165 per cent this year, the company’s stock is trading at a modest 12 times its estimated FY10 earnings (assuming 15 per cent equity expansion post-offer) and at 1.6 times its estimated book value.

A power sector debt funding requirement of more than Rs 15 lakh crore over the Eleventh and Twelfth Plans is the major growth driver for REC. Its proposed follow-on public offer will augment the capital base, enabling balance sheet expansion.

The Reserve Bank of India’s recent policy change which pegs bank’s risk weights to the borrowers credit rating, will also favour the company given its AAA rating. The profits of REC rose 70 per cent in the first half of this fiscal, helped by loan book and disbursements growth of 32 per cent and 22 per cent respectively. This bettered overall bank credit growth of 20 per cent. Improvement of spreads from 3.34 per cent to 3.47 per cent, helped by better yields and lower costs, also aided the company’s net profit growth.

We expect the loan growth to continue at robust pace on the back of the wide Rs 1,50,000-crore gap between sanctions and disbursements. The margins may get some support as the proportion of private sector borrowers trends up.

At current market prices, the follow-on offer may raise Rs 2,600 crore, given the proposed offer size. This will increase its net worth by 32 per cent and bring down the debt-equity ratio from 6.3 to 4.8, reducing the risk to its credit rating. Increase in costs due to reduced reliance on tax-free bonds, may be compensated by the fall in borrowing costs from banks.

Delays in power projects leading to late disbursement and rescheduling of loan repayments, are the biggest risks for the company. Asset-liability mismatch arising out of lower maturity deposits and high duration loans is also a potential risk. Increase in interest rates later in the year may put pressure on margins as the company predominantly has fixed-rate loans, with three- or 10-year reset.

Bharti at 52-week low: Time to buy?

The telecom industry continues to weather rough storms. In the throes of an intense pricing war in a bid to woo subscribers — especially by the newer entrants — apart from concerns relating to irregularities in the Department of Telecom’s (DoT) allocation of 2G spectrum and a harrowing delay in the 3G auction, the sector’s cup of woes seems to be running over.

Industry leader Bharti Airtel is especially facing a tough time. The bellwether, which a few months ago called off an attempt to strike a merger deal with South Africa’s telecom giant MTN, faces the threat of competition biting away at its subscriber base with lucrative pricing and the prospect of declining average revenues per user (ARPUs) — the industry benchmark used to measure a telco’s financial health.

In a recent interview with CNBC-TV18, industry veteran Rajeev Chandrasekar, former chairman of BPL Mobile and now a Rajya Sabha MP, said the telecom sector was on the verge of a fundamental shift in dynamics. “We are going from a model where there were two or three well capitalised strong players in this market — the Bhartis and the Vodafones — to a market where now we will have most likely six-seven players, all very well capitalised and strongly positioned to take high market shares in the incremental market,” he said, adding that newer players like Tate DoCoMo and Reliance Communication would do to Bharti and Vodafone what these leaders did to BSNL 10 years ago. “The best days for incumbents like Bharti, Vodafone, BSNL and Idea are behind them.”

Stock at 52-week low

Bharti Airtel, announced its second quarter FY10 results on Friday, which were quite disappointing. The company’s net profit declined 7.8% to Rs 2,321 crore as against Rs 2,517 crore on a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis. Soon after, the Bharti Airtel stock hit a 52-week low at Rs 290 on the exchanges. The stock was, two months ago, quoting a price of Rs 450.

Is Bharti now so beaten-down that investors can buy at it current levels or is it wiser to stay away from it at even these levels, given the outlook of the telecom sector?

Stock close to bottom

“For Bharti, we are closer to the end now in terms of price damage,” says Sanjay Chawla of Anand Rathi Securities. “However, it is the time correction that is likely to be extended and that may well last for another three-six months.”

Chawla adds that market is eyeing two-three developments closely: the impact of tariff cuts on its margins and evidence of the pricing war bottoming out.

“Also, with the Unitech-Telenor launch, Docomo making rapid inroads and number probability to launch soon, the effect of that remains to be seen,” he says. “We don’t see that the time correction is going to end until Q1 results are out.”
He, however, added that stock was close to bottoming out and may stay at current levels for some to come.

“The earnings numbers that we saw are disappointing particularly the fact that the average revenue per user (ARPU) has declined 8% — even when the entire tariff cut was implemented much later,” says Hemang Jani, Senior Vice President, Sharekhan, adding that there was a feeling that the stock may under-perform for the next six months given the competition.

“However, the way I look at Bharti, it’s a company that makes a net profit of Rs 8,500 crore, available at about 11-12 PE and I don’t think we are going to see this kind of a scenario playing out for too long. From an investment perspective at 11 times forward PE, Bharti definitely looks attractive.”

Watch out for ARPUs ahead

Shubham Majumder of Macquarie Securities feels that even as the stock looked attractive for long-term investors at current levels, one needs to watch out for a few developments. “Brokerages’ estimate for Bharti’s earnings per share (EPS) could be scaled down further if its embraces per second billing and number portability, which could affect its post-paid user segment where profitability remains high,” he says.

“Also, we could see pressure on the text and data side of the business because as of now, all of this tariff action is limited to the prepaid, which essentially is the Rs 100-200 ARPU bracket,” Maajumder says. “When you see action move to the Rs 400-500-800 ARPU customer — that is when you really need to start to worry for players like Bharti and Vodafone because they cater to a majority of the high ARPU and a high value market.”

Reliance Infratel, a passive telecom infrastructure provider, is planning an IPO for divesting 15.60 crore equity shares of Rs 10 each for cash at a premium to be decided through a 100 per cent book building process.

The net issue would constitute 10 per cent of the post-issue paid-up equity capital of the company, the statement said.

Avoid stocks that ran up 20-50% in last few weeks: JM Fin

Gautam Shah, Technical Analyst, JM Financial Services said, the markets may see 5-7% correction in the near-term as the technical indicators were showing that the markets were overbought. He said he would avoid stocks that ran up 20-50% in the last few weeks. He advised to book part profits now. However, he quickly added that the markets would see 20-25% upside after the short-term pullback. The Sensex trading base was at 16000 levels, he said. His medium-term target for the Sensex was at 18300 and for the Nifty was at 5550.

He didn’t see too much upside in autos and technology stocks. However, he was positive on oil, power, banking, capital goods and realty stocks.

Alembic (Rs 50.2): Buy

We recommend a buy in the stock of Alembic from a short-term perspective. It is apparent from the charts that the stock has been on an intermediate-term uptrend since October 2008 low of Rs 24.7, which is a multi-year low. In early July, the stock found twin support at Rs 35, from the intermediate-term up trendline as well as key support level. Subsequently, the counter resumed its uptrend and has been on a medium-term uptrend too. On August 27, the stock broke through a significant resistance at Rs 45 by surging 8 per cent accompanied with high volume. Besides, it gained 7 per cent with high volume on September 23. The stock is trading well above its 21- and 50-day moving averages. The daily relative strength index (RSI) has entered the bullish zone and weekly RSI is featuring in this zone. The weekly moving average convergence and divergence indicator is steadily rising in the positive territory. We are bullish on the stock from a short-term horizon. We anticipate it to move up until it hits our price target of Rs 56. Traders with a short-term perspective can buy the stock while maintaining a stop-loss at Rs 47.5.

Buy JP Associates at Rs 197-200: Gujral

Gujral told CNBC-TV18, "JP Associates is weakened; it had a breakout above Rs 257 but the management used it. Now if one wants to buy it, around Rs 197-200 is a strong support, there people could try and get into it."

Buy Alembic, says Ashwani Gujral

Buy Alembic with a stoploss of about Rs 46, says Technical Analyst, Ashwani Gujral.

Gujral told CNBC-TV18, "Midcap pharmaceutical particularly smaller ones like Aarti Drugs, Alembic did well yesterday. So there is some sort of momentum there. Alembic you could buy with a stoploss of about Rs 46 and the target here could be Rs 54 and then Rs 57. The idea here is that if the global markets are getting into some kind of a dip, we could have probably another 100 points towards that 4,800 kind of level but that will not happen in a very sharp kind of move. You will have jagged up and down kind of days and finally we will probably end the pullback around 4,800. So the idea has to be that if you are getting a gap down, don’t go and sell into it, try to buy and play for some sort of a pullback.”

Buy Paper Products, says Gujral

Buy Paper Products with a stoploss of about Rs 58, says Technical Analyst, Ashwani Gujral. It has target of Rs 71.

Gujral told CNBC-TV18, "Some of the paper stocks did quite well and this one also moved higher. One could buy with a stoploss of about Rs 58; target here is about Rs 71. Most of my calls are buy calls because as long as the market stays above 4,800 to about 4,825 it’s above every major moving average and it’s holding the trend line which started from 2,200. So the trend remains intact and on dips one should expect to buy.”

Buy Tata Coffee, says Technical Analyst, Ashwani Gujral.

Gujral told CNBC-TV18, "Tea and Coffee sort of moved together yesterday. Globally these commodities have been stronger; the agricultural commodities. So Tata Coffee, one can buy with a stoploss of about Rs 360. It could get to levels of about Rs 445. Maybe on declines today it’s a good buy and over the medium-term you will get to levels of Rs 445.”

Investors gain Rs 25 lakh-cr in just over five months

Investor wealth has increased by over Rs 25 lakh crore in just over five months from the beginning of the current financial year, on improving sentiments in the domestic and global markets.

According to an analysis of the valuations for the period (April 1-September 18), the combined market capitalisation of all the firms listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange increased by Rs 25,02,749 crore or nearly 80 per cent.

Analysts believe the rise in investor wealth has been due to the upbeat market sentiments on indications of economic recovery globally.

"The markets have given a healthy return on the back of positive mood among domestic and international investors," SMC Global's Vice President Rajesh Jain said.

The total market valuation increased to Rs 56,35,835.75 crore on September 18 from Rs 31,33,086.7 crore on April 1.

While, the 30-share benchmark index Sensex has given a healthy return of nearly 70 per cent to hover around 16,700 level in September against 9,900 level in April.

The Sensex companies, which account for about 45 per cent of the total market capitalisation of all the companies, saw its combined market valuation rise by over Rs 10,00,000 crore in the reviewed period.

The combined market capitalisation of the 30 blue-chip stocks rose to Rs 25,31,831.55 crore on September 18 from Rs 15,31,252.34 crore on April 1.

However, the total turnover of the Sensex companies declined to Rs 1,597.42 crore on September 18 from 1,705.52 crore on April 1.

Jain further added that the decline in the volumes is due to less participation of retail investors in the markets, which shows the run is mainly on account of institutional money, both domestic and international.

Meanwhile, foreign investment into the Indian stock markets are likely to cross USD 10 billion-mark by the end of this month as a hefty USD 9.8 billion (Rs 47,674 crore) have already been poured into the bourses by overseas entities so far this year.

Equities advance to 16-month high; 5100 on Nifty eyed

Equity benchmarks resumed their rally Tuesday after an extended week, building onto gains for the fifth straight session. Expectations of strong quarterly earnings and increased short covering ahead of the F&O expiry for September propelled key indices to 16-month highs.

“The market opened on a strong note defying global market movements. Indices held gains throughout the day even as we saw some amount of profit booking as the Nifty neared 5050 – a crucial resistance. However, we expect the Nifty to scale to 5100 levels in the near term. On a sector specific note, automobile, technology and power stocks will outperform,” said Jyoti Nagrani, chartered market technician, Finquest Securities.

National Stock Exchange’s Nifty settled well above the 5000 mark for the first time in 16 months. The index ended at provisional 5020.20, up 0.89 per cent or 44.15 points from its previous close. The index touched a high of 5036.30 after opening at 4977.10.

Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex moved closed to the 17000 mark as well. The 30-share index advanced 0.87 per cent or 145.13 points to 16,886.43. The index rose to a high of 16,943.49 from a low of 16,763.78.

Midcaps and smallcaps picked up pace as well. The BSE Midcap was up 0.74 per cent and BSE Smallcap Index climbed 1.05 per cent.

Sectorwise, the BSE IT Index surged 1.91 per cent, followed by BSE FMCG Index up 1.63 per cent and BSE Bankex rising 1.03 per cent. Meanwhile, BSE Oil&Gas Index ended marginally lower.

Biggest Nifty gainers were Ranbaxy Laboratories (5.56%), HDFC (4.78%), BPCL (3%), ITC (2.89%) and TCS (2.84%).

Losers were Bharti Airtel (-3.44%), Hindalco Industries (-1.16%), Jindal Steel (-1.10%). ONGC (-0.85%) and Sterlite Industries (-0.66%).

Shares of Bharti Airtel fell more then 3 per cent following reports that the company may have to sweeten its offer for South African telecom company MTN. According to reports, Bharti has offered MTN a 27 percent of its stake for the same money instead of the 25 percent proposed earlier.

Market breadth remained positive with 1632 advances against 1045 declines on the BSE. On NSE, there were 698 advancing shares outnumbering 592 declining ones.

Meanwhile, Reliance Communications' infrastructure subsidiary, Reliance Infratel, is planning an initial public offer and the company will shortly file its Draft Red Herring Prospectus with Sebi, chairman Anil Ambani told shareholders at the company's annual general
meeting.

The company is mulling a 10 per cent stake sale of equity of Reliance Infratel through an IPO. 85 per cent of the stake ofthe company will remain with Reliance Communications, Ambani added.

Ranbaxy Lab can go upto Rs 420-425: Gujral

Ranbaxy Laboratories can go upto Rs 420-425, says Technical Analyst, Ashwani Gujral.

Gujral told CNBC-TV18, "Ranbaxy seems to have bottomed out and that could be headed towards Rs 420-425. Dr Reddys Laboratories has sort of consolidated and because of some rumours that started a fresh move, so here we could get to level of about Rs 920-925. So, pharma overall is looking strong. The point is that as long as this rotational game continues the market will remain strong but it’s getting overbought and nobody is negative, so people need to get into habit of taking profits now."
