Key Highlights for the Month
Rupee depreciated by 7.02% to
Rs56.38,
a new low
Implementation of GAAR being postponed to FY14
4QFY12 results season concluded with numbers stronger
than our estimates
Decline in oil price by 14% provides a ray of hope for equities
Dear Investor,
The Nifty after consolidating for last 3 months near its
200 DMA, broke its support and closed 6.2% down
at 4924. FIIs continued to be sellers in markets to the
tune of
Rs1522.8
cr. Fall in markets was largely led by
cross currency movement and fall in commodities.
Rupee depreciated by 7.02% to
Rs56.38,
a new low.
The Finance Bill was being cleared by the parliament with implementation of GAAR
being postponed to FY14 along with some dilution. On economic front inflation for
Apr'12 came at 7.2% slightly higher than expectation; however, core inflation at 4.9%
was still within RBI's comfort level. Mar'12 IIP growth at -3.5% was below
expectations, signified near collapse of industrial production. Also, 4QFY12 GDP
growth at 5.3% came below expectations; being the lowest growth in nine years.
4QFY12 results season came to an end with numbers stronger than our estimates,
For companies in the Nifty top line grew at 21.3% YoY (est. 20.7%), EBITDA grew
at 15.8% YoY (est. 13.2%) and PAT grew at 28.6% YoY (est. 16.2%), excluding SBI
PAT growth was 21.5%. PSU Banks and Automobiles contributed to 53% of the total
PAT growth for the Quarter. Sensex EPS grew 11% in FY12 (3% upgrade) to
Rs1134,
and for FY13 Sensex EPS expected to grow 9% to 1,232.
The risk averse trade seems to be in full swing in markets with EU fear growing
coupled with weak economic data points across the US. From Indian equities outlook,
rapid decline in oil price down by 14% provides a ray of hope as it directly benefits
India's inflation, current account deficit and balance of payments. The fall in Rogers
Commodity Index by 10% augurs well. We expect RBI to stay on course on softening
stance with expectation of CRR cut by 25 bps along with OMO in current monetary
meeting. Little doubt that India may fall as well in the interim, but every dip should
be treated as an opportunity to buy.
Happy Investing
