Key Highlights for the Month
US markets continues to lead global equities
Nifty loses steam after a good run, Premium on quality stocks increases
Q4FY13 aggregate Sensex PAT flat YoY, is this the bottom?
Possibility of QE being prematurely scaled back- a new worry
Dear Investor,
Nifty reached out towards the previous high (going up to
6,200), before correcting towards the end to close the
month up 0.9% only at 5986. US equities meanwhile
continue to trade close to life-time high.
Sectoral outperformers remained the same as in the
previous months of this year Consumer, Private banks and Pharmaceuticals being the
favorites, while interest-rate sensitives continued to be weak.
Q4 results would have hopefully marked the bottoming out of the economic growth
cycle. This was a quarter of flat PAT YoY, with 7% YoY sales growth.
PAT Growth contribution was strong from NBFC(32%), Healthcare(31%), Private
Banks(25%), Technology(20%) and Consumer(18%). While Telecom(-58%), Cap Goods
(-10%), Real Estate(-47%), Cement(-17%) and PSU Banks(-17%) were the laggards.
Our Sensex EPS estimate for FY14 stands downgraded by 1.6% to
Rs1346.
Sensex FY14
P/E at 14.7x is at long-term averages; it is imperative for growth to rebound for
market returns.
QE rollback/scaledown- a new worry comes to the fore: After very strong flows
witnessed into equities post the US Fed's announcement of sustained QE last year,
markets had gone up strongly. Meanwhile, the US economy has seen green-shoots
of growth coming back resulting in higher bond yield in the US of 2.13% ( 1.75%
at end CY13), a stronger USD, which is causing the INR to be weaker- a depreciating
INR is a major worry for the market.

Thought for the month
Gautam Sinha Roy - Vice President
Way Forward
Nifty is expected to consolidate in the near term with the key triggers being:
• RBI's policy decision in the June meet and pass though of lower rates in the system
• Further easing of commodity prices would be key in keeping the CAD under control
Threat
•
•
The fate of the US Fed's QE program is the key trigger for global markets.
Continued political uncertainty is a key risk
