Markets remain volatile

Globally, equities tanked lower as risk sentiment soured amid growing worries over increase in government bond yield, rising inflation and soaring energy prices to multi-year highs. The 10-year benchmark Treasury yield rose to 1.57%, highest in three-months, which might prompt US Fed to tighten monetary policy earlier than expected. Global cues had already weakened after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand hiked its benchmark interest rate for the first time in seven years. The sentiments are also weak given uncertainty looming over US debt ceiling.

Here are 6 stocks to buy and sell for short term traders from reputed analysts and investment firms.

Retail loan margins thin, won’t take risks higher than appetite: Sumit Bali, group executive & head – retail lending, Axis Bank

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Sumit Bali, group executive & head – retail lending, Axis Bank

Retail lending has recovered well from the lows seen in April-May, but supply-side issues are hurting auto loan growth, Sumit Bali, group executive and head – retail lending, Axis Bank, tells Shritama Bose. The bank is avoiding aggressive risk-taking in home loans as margins are thin, he added. Excerpts:

How has the retail market recovered after the second Covid wave?
Clearly, we had a very good Q4 as an industry and specifically for us, if you see the numbers, we grew almost 6% quarter-on-quarter. So we went into Q1 of this financial year with that kind of momentum, but post-April 20, the bottom just fell off. In the next two months the deterioration was extremely sharp. There was fear, people were delaying everything, they were sitting on cash, preserving cash. Even we couldn’t go out to collect or meet customers. But since July, we are also seeing a sharper uptick. Last month, home sales were back to almost 95% of March levels. When we see some other parameters, especially on the cards side, those also point to a sharp recovery. When you dice the spends on the cards, a lot of the discretionary spends which had vanished — travel, eating out, dining, hotels, etc — we are seeing a fair bit of pick-up in that from the base level. But overall, spends have been record-high for the industry. This means customer confidence is coming back. There’s a sharp improvement on the delinquency metrics across the industry, when we see the bureau data.

What about the auto loans segment?
Interestingly, on the new cars side, demand is good, but the supply-side issues persist because of the chip shortage. That’s creating a different kind of problem for us. When we spoke to people in the manufacturing industry back in July, they had said production should be normal in October-November. It is not looking like that. There is some unexpected closure of a Bosch plant in Malaysia due to Covid, so that’s not fully back on steam. Given the long waiting periods, one sees the demand for cars also coming back. Used car prices are up. One of the unintended benefits of Covid is the demand for larger homes, so people can work from home and kids can study from home online. The second thing is the need for personal mobility. So when you put all this together, certainly we are getting into the festive season with a fair bit of tailwinds and very decent customer confidence. But for a third wave of Covid, things have started looking pretty good.

There’s a lot of competition in the home loan segment. You seem to have stayed away from rock-bottom pricing. How do you see that market?
As a bank, we have very clearly defined our risk appetite and in retail lending, margins are thin. It makes no sense to take risk higher than your appetite. When you lose money, you lose a fair bit of the principal. So we’ve not diluted our standards.

Rates can only rise from current levels. Is there risk building up in the system?
The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) has done a very intelligent thing by setting the LTV (loan-to-value) on home loans at 75%. There is a very strong association of the customer with their home. Post-Covid, people want to have a home. You are seeing inflation inch up, so everyone expects that rates will firm up over a period of time. But, in home loans you also have this facility of extending the tenor while keeping the EMI the same. If rates go up, it would mean that demand is good. Therefore, we don’t see great risk in there, given the margin and that we can keep the monthly outflow the same.

We see an increase in repossession notices for small borrowers’ properties. Is repossession actually on the rise?
So, for almost a year, there was no activity in terms of repossession or sale. Given the environment, courts were also holding on to giving permissions. Now, all that has started opening up. So there are permissions coming in, there is permission to sell out the inventory. In cases where customers have suffered large amounts of losses and can’t service (their loans), there are auctions happening. What you are seeing now, in a normal economic environment, you would have seen over a period of 15 months. It’s just that they have got bunched up together.

Do you continue to be cautious on unsecured loans, as you were up to the beginning of this year?
We’ve always said that from an 80:20 kind of a split, which is what we have as of June, we would be comfortable moving a bit more towards unsecured. That may be, say, 22-23% over a period of time. That remains our stated ambition and we are working towards that mix. The Covid second wave put a brake on that, but our goal remains that.

Foreign banks vie for bigger slice of home loan market

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Balance transfers have turned out to be a preferred option for foreign banks as they are easier to source. They are considered safer, too, as the lender gets a snapshot of the borrower’s repayment track record.

Taking advantage of record low interest rates and higher affordability of homes, foreign banks with presence in India are making an aggressive push into the home loan market. In the run-up to the festive season, some of these lenders have announced lending rates at par with the lowest in the business.

HSBC India reduced home loan interest rates by 10 basis points (bps) to 6.45% per annum. This rate will be applicable on balance transfers by existing customers of other lenders. Citi is offering home loans starting at 6.5% as is South Korea-headquartered Shinhan Bank.

Kunal Sodhani, AVP, global trading center, Shinhan Bank India, said the lender has been offering home loans starting at 6.5% for a maximum tenor of 30 years. The bank has been active in the retail loans segment for the last four years and currently has more than 4,500 customers across six branches in India. “The interest rate trajectory may be at its bottom and also due to festive season being underway, this remains the best time to avail housing loans at such attractive rates,” Sodhani said.

Balance transfers have turned out to be a preferred option for foreign banks as they are easier to source. They are considered safer, too, as the lender gets a snapshot of the borrower’s repayment track record.

Besides, the migration to an external benchmark-linked pricing regime has led to better transmission of lower rates through banks. Forced to link their home loan rates directly to the repo rate or to other external benchmarks, banks have turned more competitive in terms of pricing than their non-bank counterparts. This is another factor driving the rising trend in balance transfers.

Of course, muted credit demand in other segments is also playing a part. Prakash Agarwal, director and head – financial institutions, India Ratings and Research, said while some foreign banks were always active in the home loan market, their presence is increasing for two reasons. “One, there is a limited offtake in other segments. Secondly, this asset class has proven its resilience over time. The credit cost and delinquencies in this segment were among the lowest even during the pandemic. That is an added incentive for lenders to get into this segment.”

CoinSwitch Kuber is India’s 2nd crypto unicorn

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Notwithstanding the regulatory uncertainty over the legality of cryptocurrencies, India now has two crypto unicorns.

On Wednesday, CoinSwitch Kuber announced raising over $260 million in Series C funding round from a clutch of investors, valuing the company at $1.9 billion.

This makes the Bengaluru-based start-up more valuable than rival CoinDCX, which became India’s first cryptocurrency unicorn after it raised $90 million in August.

Indian cryptocurrency market likely to reach up to $241 million by 2030: Nasscom

Investments flowing in

Indian start-ups in the crypto space have received 73 per cent more funding in the first six months of calendar 2021 compared to the whole of 2020, according to data from Tracxn.

These investments are coming from some of the top names in the private equity and venture capital space.

For instance, CoinSwitch Kuber’s latest funding is from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Coinbase Ventures, Paradigm, Ribbit Capital, Sequoia Capital India and Tiger Global.

The investment comes even as the government is yet to spell out its stand on whether cryptocurrencies are legal.

The Reserve Bank of India has expressed its reservation on cryptocurrencies. Even China’s central bank has announced a blanket ban on all cryptocurrency transactions and mining in that country.

Ashish Singhal, Co-founder and CEO, CoinSwitch Kuber, said, “There is some worry over regulations in the short run but we are confident that in the long run there will be positive developments in the cryptocurrency and blockchain segment.

“This is the reason why marquee investors are also putting their bets on India.”

Cryptocurrency — the time to act is now

Upbeat on India

According to a report by US-based blockchain data platform Chainalysis, India’s cryptocurrency market this year grew 641 per cent over the past year.

Large institutional-size transfers above $10 million worth of cryptocurrency represent 42 per cent of transactions from India-based addresses, the report said adding that the numbers suggest that India’s cryptocurrency investors are part of larger, more sophisticated organisations.

Ajeet Khurana, founder of crypto funding consortium Genezis Network, said the perception that something could go wrong is not shared by investors.

“Investors believe cryptocurrency is too big to fail. Further, Indian companies are now large enough and have a global presence to withstand any adverse action in India,” he said.

Rameesh Kailasam, CEO, Indiatech.org, explained that the crypto industry is in a scenario where a product or commodity is moving freely in a market and people are trading in it without being classified under any regulatory body.

“This is like a free animal moving around without a named regulation. While the RBI is in a hurry to work on the regulations, the government is keeping the door partly open. This has emboldened users and investors trading on these platforms to invest freely. One would like to believe that if the sector becomes large and significant enough, it will be difficult to shut it down entirely,” he said.

CoinSwitch Kuber’s Singhal is hoping that the fresh investments would help him scale up.

“Our average user age is about 25 years and we are adding 1-2 million users to CoinSwitch Kuber every month, of which 60 per cent are new users. There is a huge demand and interest and we believe that India can become No 1 in crypto adoption from the No 2 spot at present,” he said.

Buy This Gas Distribution Company Stock, It Can Gain 35% From Current Levels

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Buy the stock for an upside target of 35%

The brokerage sees an upside target of nearly 35% on the stock of Gujarat Gas from the current levels of around Rs 630.

Estimates on financials of Gujarat Gas, Rs in Billion

FY 2022 (e) FY 2023 (e)
Revenues 124.9 Rs 187
Net profits Rs 13.8 Rs 19.7
EPS Rs 20 Rs 28.6
Book value per share Rs 83.1 Rs 108.80
RoE 27.00% 29.80%

Target price of Rs 850 on the stock of Gujarat Gas

Target price of Rs 850 on the stock of Gujarat Gas

The sharp hike in gas prices by Gujarat Gas clearly indicates the company would try to protect its margins even in adverse situations, Motilal Oswal has said in its report. “On the contrary, since CNG impacts the lower strata of the economic population, we expect margin contraction in the CNG segment for all city gas distribution. Gujarat is home to five industrial clusters, classified as ‘severely/critically polluted’ in terms of air pollution. As we emerge from the COVID pandemic, we expect to see stricter norms implemented in these industrial clusters, which may raise Gujarat Gas’ volume prospects,” the brokerage has said.

“Gujarat Gas trades at 22 times FY23 EPS. On strong volume prospects, we value the company at 28x Sep’23 EPS; we re-iterate Buy, with target price of Rs 850,” Motilal Oswal has said in its report.

According to the brokerage the volume potential for Gujarat Gas remains the best among the city gas distribution companies owing to its highest exposure in the Industrial segment. “The recent Supreme Court order in favor of the company for Ahmedabad rural further presents the prospect of 0.8-1mmscmd over the next 2-3 years,” the brokerage has said.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has, by an order dated October 05, 2021, imposed a monetary penalty of ₹1.00 lakh (Rupees one lakh only) on The Kheda People’s Co-operative Bank Ltd., Kheda (Gujarat) (the bank) for contravention of directions issued by RBI on ‘Loans and advances to directors, relatives and firms/ concerns in which they are interested’. This penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers vested in RBI under the provisions of Section 47 A (1) (c) read with Section 46 (4) (i) and Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, taking into account the failure of the bank to adhere to the aforesaid directions issued by RBI.

This action is based on deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.

Background

The statutory inspection of the bank conducted by the RBI with reference to the bank’s financial position as on March 31, 2019, the Inspection Report pertaining thereto and examination of all related correspondence revealed, inter alia, non-compliance with aforesaid directions issued by the RBI. In furtherance to the same, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed for non-compliance with the aforesaid directions issued by the RBI. After considering the bank’s reply to the notice and oral submissions made during the personal hearing, the RBI came to the conclusion that the aforesaid charge was substantiated and warranted imposition of monetary penalty.
