Metal ! buy or sell

With almost all commodities in a ‘once in a life-time’ bull run, the Indian metal sector has had a pretty good time. But government-imposed price curbs and the slowdown in global economic growth are playing spoilsport for the sector.

SELL

National Aluminium: Unfortunately for Nalco, the bull run in other commodities hasn’t quite materialised in aluminium. Simultaneously, operating margin for the nine-month period ended December ’07 has taken a hit of over 10% because of lower sales realisation and higher power cost. Moreover, with a P/E of 15.7 and PE/BV of 3.7, Nalco is one stock that you may do well to exit.

Ispat Industries : A highly volatile operating margin makes Ispat Industries highly vulnerable to an increase in raw material costs. At the same time, a very high debt-equity ratio of 4.84, very low interest coverage ratio of 1 and the fact that it has been making losses for the past two years make Ispat Industries a sell.

BUY

Godawari Power and Ispat: With a very strong operating profit margin of over 16%, which is relatively higher compared to its peers, this may well be the best pick in this sector. Moreover, with strong possibilities of it getting an iron-ore mining lease in the near future, which will further improve its operating margin to about 30%, Godawari Power is a buy.

Riding on a higher gross refining margin (GRM) of $15.5 per barrel and some help from non-operational income, Reliance Industries (RIL) on Monday reported a 24% increase in its fourth-quarter net profit to Rs 3,912 crore, excluding exceptional items. This was on a turnover of Rs 38,697 crore, an increase of 32% over the corresponding quarter last fiscal.

The operating margin (excluding other and exceptional income) during the fourth quarter declined by nearly 270 basis points to 16.1% of net sales against 18.8% compared with the corresponding period last year. For the full year, the company reported an operating margin of 17.5% in FY08 against 18% in the previous year

For the entire year, RIL’s net profit grew by 28% to Rs 15,261 crore on revenues of Rs 139,269 crore, an increase of 18% over the previous year. The company’s profit during the year was helped by a Rs 986-crore profit from foreign exchange transaction and sales-tax savings due to higher exports and conversion of its Jamnagar refinery to an export-oriented unit (EOU). RIL’s Jamnagar unit was converted into an EOU with effect April 16, 2007.

The company’s other income nearly doubled in FY08 to Rs 895 crore, primarily because of an increase in interest income. Including exceptional items, the net profit for the full year was Rs 19,458 crore, just under $5 billion. The exceptional item was proceeds from the sale of shares in Reliance Petroleum, a subsidiary in which RIL owns a 70% stake.

Importent - Redemption pressure forces FIIs to cut holdings

The turmoil in the global financial markets and growing aversion to risk is prompting foreign institutional investors (FIIs) to cut their exposure in the Indian equity markets. The decrease in risk appetite is evident in the latest shareholding pattern of FIIs that tracks a decline in their holding in Nifty companies.

Market analysts attribute this largely to redemption pressures, triggered in part by uncertainty in the global markets coupled with the expected slowdown in economy. As per data furnished by companies, of the 21 Nifty companies that have disclosed their shareholding details as on March 2008, there has been a decline in the FII holding in 18 companies.

“Investors have a tendency to see events through a magnifying glass and FIIs are no exception to this. Though there are negatives in the macro-economic scenario, India is comparatively a safe market with sustained growth over long term,” says Vikram Bhatt, director, Ajmera Associates. The three companies that have witnessed an increase in FII shareholding — Nalco, Bharat Petroleum and ICICI Bank — have seen their holding go up by 0.04%, 0.27% and 0.33% respectively.

In contrast, many companies from the capital goods sector (ABB, Siemens and L&T) have seen a decline in their FII holding by over 1%. Other companies to see such an erosion in holding include Power Grid, Dr Reddy’s Lab, Reliance Energy, ACC and HDFC.

The erosion, however, is much more in companies like ACC, Reliance Energy and Larsen and Toubro, where FII holding has decreased by 3.28%, 2.33% and 1.95% respectively. Foreign investors were net sellers for over $3 billion during the January-March quarter this year, in part due to unwinding of P-note positions.

According to Mr. Ajmera, FIIs total allocation to India is at about 5% of their total investment corpus. “However, they have to sell their profitable positions to offset the losses in their books. Also, many investors start redeeming their investments on fears of further fall,” says Mr Bhatt.

Market analysts also say that even though data ending March 31 reflects erosion, the last couple of days have seen renewed buying by major funds. This could result in an increase in their shareholding in the frontline companies, for it is these companies where the funds enter or exit first.

Today is a really big day and how surprising. This morning when there is gap down opening, everyone supposed that today is blackday for market due to US market crash on Friday, but there huge covering in market. Top gainer of today’s market is Ranbaxy lab,TCS,Infosystech,RCOM,Wipro. Today’s rally is very surprising,It’s had excellent leadership from IT, we have had some big moves in pharmaceuticals, and many largecap names like Lever, ICICI Bank, DLF have all done very well. Nifty cross 4800 level with a good margin and touch 4937 as high.

So technically today has been an important day, maybe the market was waiting for some kind of a whiff of good news, to clear that 4800 happen, that’s come in the form of Infosys, maybe it's been aided by short covering. But whatever it is, it has been strong today.

I had suggested some stocks for buy in morning as well on 11^th april, like BHEL, Rolta,Infosys, Ksoil,Punjlloyed and Nifty. All stocks give some good returns as we expecting. I had made good returns from these stocks and I hope you too.

Report on Nitin Fire - Buy Nitin fire

Keep Buying on Nitin Fire for target of Rs.735, Current Market Price-Rs.560
Anand Rathi has maintained a ‘buy’ rating on Nitin Fire Protection Industries after factoring in the inorganic growth strategy of the company which, according to the brokerage, is ‘on course’. According to the brokerage, Nitin Fire has acquired a 40% stake in a fire protection company in Dubai, New Age, which would give the company access to the fast growing West Asian (the Middle Eastern) markets.
The report further adds that the company would fund the acquisition through internal accruals and by raising debt. “We expect the acquisition to be EPS accretive,” it says. Further, loss prevention certification board (LPCB) approval could be the next big thing, according to the report. “Nitin Fire has recently obtained LPCB approval for its ozone-friendly HFC 227ea and Novec 1230-based fire-suppression systems,” says the report adding that the “approval opens up a $1.5 billion worldwide opportunity” for Nitin Fire. However, the brokerage has lowered its topline and bottomline FY08 estimates by 16.4% and 11.2%, respectively, on the back of a delay in the commissioning of the plant.

Target of Maruti Suzuki India with report

Keep buying on Maruti for target Rs.940, Current market price-Rs.752
Merrill Lynch has downgraded Maruti Suzuki India to ‘sell’, driven by sharp lowering of forecasts on competitive and cost concerns. Post-revision, the foreign brokerage expects a flattish FY09 EPS apart from substantial downgrades, leading to stock de-rating closer to historic lows.
Merrill Lynch has cut its EPS estimates by 2.2% in FY08, 12.5% in FY09, and 10.5% in FY10, driven mainly by lower volumes on increased competitive intensity.
“We also factor higher steel and aluminium prices which, we believe, cannot be fully passed on, and adverse JPY (yen) to USD (dollar), which will show up on newer import contracts,” it adds.
According to the report, the first half of the current financial year is expected to be particularly weak for the auto major, both on volumes (loss of share) and margins (higher costs). We estimate around 6% EBITDA and double digit net profit decline in the first half of the fiscal, the report adds.

Know about short-selling

What is short-selling?

Short-selling, in the context of the stock market, is the practice where an investor sells shares that he does not own at the time of selling them. He sells them in the hope that the price of those shares will decline, and he will profit by buying back those shares at a lower price. In India, there is no prohibition on short-selling by retail investors. Institutional investors —domestic mutual funds and foreign institutional investors registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), banks and insurance companies — are prohibited from short-selling and are mandatorily required to settle on the basis of deliveries of securities owned and held by them.

How is short-selling beneficial?

Short-selling is considered an essential feature of the securities market not just for providing liquidity, but also for helping price corrections in over valued stocks. Supporters of short-selling claim its absence distort efficient price discovery, gives promoters the unfettered freedom to manipulate prices and favours manipulators than rational investors. Securities market regulators in most countries, and in particular, all developed securities markets, recognise short-selling as a legitimate investment activity. The International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has also reviewed short-selling and securities lending practices across markets and has recommended transparency of short-selling, rather than prohibit it.

Are there any drawbacks of short-selling?

Critics of short-selling feel selling, directly or indirectly, poses potential risks and can easily destabilise the market. They believe that short-selling can exacerbate declining trend in share prices, increase share price volatility, and force the price of individual stocks down to levels that might not otherwise be reached. They also argue that declining trend in the share prices of a company can even impact its fund raising capability and undermine the commercial confidence of the company. In a bear market in particular, short-selling can contribute to disorderly trading, give rise to heightened short-term price volatility and could be used in manipulative trading strategies.

Will institutional investors in India be allowed to short-sell securities?

Sebi is working on a proposal to introduce a stock borrowing and lending mechanism. This will allow institutional investors to short-sell by borrowing shares. Under this arrangement, an investor A, who feels that a certain stock is overpriced, borrows those shares for a charge from investor B, who is willing to lend those shares. Investor A then sells those shares in the market, hoping that the price declines so that he can buy cheap and return them to investor B.

What is the difference between covered short sales and naked short sales?

Covered short sales are those in which the seller arranges for the delivery of shares he has sold by borrowing them. Naked short sales are those in which the seller does not intend to provide for the delivery of shares he has sold. Most international securities market regulators have prohibited naked short-selling and require the client to have documentary evidence of borrowing/tie-up with lenders before executing the sale transaction. This is because naked short sales in huge quantities can destabilise the market.

How does the stock lending and borrowing mechanism function in other markets?

World over, securities lending and borrowing transactions are, by and large, over-the-counter (OTC) contractual obligations executed between lenders and borrowers. International securities market regulators do not directly regulate the lending and borrowing transactions. In many international markets, entities like custodians and depositories run the lending and borrowing scheme and have their own screens for meeting the demand and supply of securities from their clients.

Market review after closing bell

In morning I said about range of nifty and suggest the buying on nifty. Nifty went almost 4800 and one can book their profit. I suggested some stock at opening bell like Dlf, bulrampurchini,ksoil and Bhel, all stocks performed well and one can book profit of average 2-3%.
Actually all in all nothing good about today’s closing, we almost went to 4,800 and then came right back, so quite disappointing. 4,725 is where the Nifty about to close and the Sensex at 15,700-15,650, down 132 points.
ICICI Bank is culprit number one, Bharti is culprit number two, Infosys is culprit number three and Ranbaxy, Suzlon, PNB, HDFC Bank, and Hindustan Unilever; they all contributed in small measures to the fall today.
Reliance Energy, Cairn India, RPL and TCS good and rearguard but not enough to cover the red ticks particularly from heavyweights like ICICI Bank. Quite a disappointing close..
