3 Stocks To Buy As Recommended By The Morning India Report

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Buy the stock of Indian Oil, says the Morning India report

Motilal Oswal sees an upside of nearly 22% on the stock of Indian Oil for a target price of Rs 160. “The company reported a beat on our estimates owing to better than expected reported GRM (USD6.6/bbl) and marketing margin (Rs 7/liter), although refining throughput and marketing sales volumes were lower than our estimate. Petchem margin for Indian Oil fell by 23% QoQ, in line with the softening of PE/PP cracks in 2QFY22 (averaging 15-19% lower QoQ),” the brokerage has said.

“Indian Oil is likely to benefit the most from an uptick in refining margin, further aided by robust petchem margin in the near term (as mentioned above). We maintain our Buy rating on the stock,” the Morning India report has said.

Buy HDFC Stock

Buy HDFC Stock

The Morning India report has recommended buying the stock of HDFC for a 17% upside. The company reported 2QFY22 PAT (in-line) of INR37.8b, up 32% YoY / 26% QoQ. According to Motilal Oswal, the increase was primarily driven by lower credit costs of 31 basis points (which stood at Rs 4.5 billion, against the expectation of Rs 6 billion).

Individual disbursements in Oct’21 were the highest ever in a non-quarter-end month. Growth in home loans was seen in affordable housing as well as high-end properties. The increasing sales momentum and new project launches are positive developments for the Housing Finance sector

“We have largely maintained our estimates. We now model assets under management growth of 13% (v/s 11% earlier) in FY22E. We estimate HDFC to deliver core RoA/RoE of 2%/13% in FY23E. We reiterate our Buy rating, with SOTP-based target price of Rs 3,370 (Sep’23 SOTP-based),” the brokerage has said.

Buy Tata Motors

Buy Tata Motors

Motilal Oswal has set a target price of Rs 565 on the stock of Tata Motors. The company’s 2QFY22 performance was heavily impacted by the semiconductor shortage in JLR and India.

“Demand remains strong in JLR, with a record order book of 127k units. The semiconductor shortage situation remains dynamic. However, JLR expects a gradual recovery starting 2HFY22, with higher production (by 50k units) in 3Q from 2QFY22 levels,” the brokerage has said.

“Operating performance beat in JLR was driven by a favorable mix and lower fixed cost. India CV business missed our estimates due to commodity cost pressures. We expect a strong recovery/traction in JLR/India businesses from 3QFY22E onwards,” the brokerage has said.

Nifty company results better than expectations

Nifty company results better than expectations

According to the Morning India report, the 2QFY22 earnings are marginally ahead of expectations as the companies benefitted from a) strong revenue growth in the technology sector b) steady recovery in loan growth, as well recovery and upgrade in the asset quality of most private sector banks (except Bandhan), c) higher commodity prices and volume growth in the energy and metal sectors, and d) opening up of the economy which boosted consumer and retail growth. Nifty profit for the 34 companies that have announced their results grew 22% YoY (v/s estimate of 13% YoY). On the other hand, for the 127 companies in the Motilal Oswal Universe, profit grew 26% YoY (v/s estimate of 19% YoY).

Deutsche Bank ready to be NPS custodian for just Rs 100 per year, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


In an ultra-aggressive bid, Deutsche Bank is willing to accept a fee of just ₹100 a year for being the custodian of India’s pension fund which has total assets under custody of more than ₹6 lakh crore across various schemes.

The existing custodian, Stock Holding Corporation of India, a large depository participant owned by public financial institutions, charges close to ₹19 crore for the job.

Other institutions in the race for the custody mandate of the National Pension Scheme (NPS) include Citi, SBI-SG Global Securities Services (a joint venture between SBI and Societe Generale Securities Services), and ICICI. The fees quoted by these organisations are more than ₹1crore.

NPS, launched by the central government and involving multiple asset managers handling one of the largest fund pools in the country, is regulated by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority.

“It’s a prestigious mandate. So, Deutsche has probably taken a call to make money from a transitory float it could enjoy as a custodian,” said an official of a bank that has not put in a bid.

A Deutsche India spokesman said the bank would not comment on a client mandate.

“Beyond fees, there could be other ways to earn. Discount brokers charge little or nothing from stock traders. But, with so much liquidity available, earnings from float have come down with the fall in overnight rates. It may further shrink with T+1 (settlement in stock exchanges),” said an official of a financial intermediary.

A custodian has the opportunity to enjoy a day’s float by parking some money with the Reserve Bank of India under the reverse repo facility or in the inter-bank market.

Funds into NPS move from the employer (when salaries are paid) to the collection banks following which the money is transferred to custodians when an asset manager decides to invest in bonds and equities. Since investments happen within a day or two, custodians have a limited float.

The Deutsche bid has to pass the test laid down by the finance ministry.

According to the government’s ‘Manual for Procurement of Consultancy & Other Services’, “An abnormally Low bid is one in which the bid price, in combination with other elements of the bid, appears so low that it raises material concerns as to the capability of the bidder to perform the contract at the offered price. Procuring entity may in such cases seek written clarifications from the bidder, including detailed price analyses of its bid price in relation to scope, schedule, allocation of risks and responsibilities and any other requirements of the bid document. If, after evaluating the price analyses, (the) procuring entity determines that the bidder has substantially failed to demonstrate its capability to deliver the contract at the offered price, the procuring entity may reject the Bid/Proposal.”

Recently, a similar bid from another MNC bank for the custody mandate of postal life insurance was rejected on this ground.

While custody is a stable and sought after business, a few institutions have recently changed tack in choosing custodians. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) recently shut the doors to foreign banks in selecting the custodian for its ₹10 lakh crore holding of stocks and corporate bonds. MNC banks lost out as LIC’s condition was that if the bidder was a foreign company or MNC, any of its securities had to be listed in India.

Here’s what you need to know, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Barclays‘ Chief Executive Jes Staley unexpectedly left the bank on Monday due to a dispute with British financial regulators over how he described his ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

He will be replaced by C.S. Venkatakrishnan, widely known as Venkat, who was previously Head of Global Markets.

Here are five facts about Venkat.

ANOTHER JPMORGAN ALUM

Venkat is one of a cadre of Barclays senior executives poached from rival JPMorgan along with Staley. They include Global Head of Investment Banking Paul Compton, who was also Staley’s right-hand man in the reorganisation and streamlining of Barclays’ various group entities in recent years.

Others include Tushar Morzaria, who was Chief Financial Officer of the U.S. lender’s investment bank before taking up the CFO role at Barclays under Staley, and Ashok Vaswani who worked at a JPMorgan-funded private equity firm and now heads Barclays’ consumer banking division.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES SUCCESSION PLAN

Although Staley’s departure is sudden, the British lender says it has had succession planning “in hand for some time”. The bank said in its stock exchange announcement on Monday that it had reviewed potential external candidates for the top role but identified Venkat as its preferred candidate over a year ago.

Barclays shook up its top ranks in September 2020, promoting Venkat from group chief risk officer to head up global markets to give him a run at leading the lender’s critical investment banking unit.

SAFE PAIR OF HANDS

Barclays will be hoping Venkat’s experience as group chief risk officer – from 2016 to 2020 – will make him a safe pair of hands after Staley’s controversial tenure.

While in a senior risk job at JPMorgan, he flagged the potential for massive losses from a derivatives trade – a scandal later known as the “London Whale” that led to a $6.2 billion loss.

A U.S. Senate investigation found some losses could have been averted if JPMorgan had listened to Venkat’s warning, Bloomberg reported this month, adding Venkat was known for his unflappability and fondness for emojis even in a crisis.

Venkat has a bachelor’s degree, a master’s and a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

BIG MONEY

Venkat will be on a higher base salary than his predecessor, amid a red hot recruitment market as banks largely put COVID-19 costs behind them. Venkat will receive 2.7 million pounds ($3.69 million) in fixed pay – half in cash and half in shares. Although that tops Staley’s 2.4 million pounds a year, it’s still a cut from Venkat’s – undisclosed – fixed pay as head of global markets, Barclays’ board said.

Venkat will also be eligible for a bonus up to a maximum of 93% of his fixed pay and long term incentives up to 140% of fixed pay per year, as well as a cash payment in lieu of pension of 135,000 pounds a year.

Staley’s overall pay package came to 4 million pounds last year.

PROTEGE

Venkat is likely to pursue the same strategy as Staley at least in the near term, according to an internal memo to staff seen by Reuters on Monday.

“Jes has been my manager, mentor and friend for many years,” he wrote.

“The strategy we have in place is the right one, and we will continue our existing plans to transform our organisation and build on our financial prowess.”

Kerala Financial Corporation announces special loans for MSMEs

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Kerala Financial Corporation (KFC), a leading State-level financial institution, has launched a special loan product to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector, aiming to assist them execute work orders and also discount pending bills.

Under the scheme, 75 per cent of the cost of work received from government departments/agencies/PSUs will be provided as a loan, a spokesman for the corporation said.

Duration of work

Repayment will depend on the duration of work and expected receipt of funds from the work-awarding authority. The rate of interest will be linked to the credit rating score of the MSME, starting at eight per cent.

Considering the Covid-19 situation, the credit rating of the MSME will be based on analysis of the balance sheet during the pre-Covid period, the spokesman said.

Once the work awarding authority accepts the bill, MSMEs can immediately get up to 90 per cent of the bill amount through discounting. For final bills, the discounting can be done without security also.

Discounting facility

MSMEs play an important role in the economic growth of the country. But they continue to face constraints in obtaining adequate finance, particularly in terms of sourcing funds required to execute work orders or convert bill receivables into liquid funds. The new scheme from Corporation will be appropriate to address such issues during this pandemic period, the spokesman said.

The applicant should be MSME Udyam registered to become eligible for the scheme. GST registration and the latest audited balance sheet are also mandatory. However, GST registration will not apply to MSMEs exempt from registration.

An audited balance sheet may not be insisted with respect to MSMEs with annual turnover of up to ₹2 crore, paying income tax on a presumptive basis.

The loan will be sanctioned as a Line of Credit (LoC) for a five-year period during when MSMEs can avail facilities such as guarantees, work execution loans, bill discounting, government promissory note discounting and equipment finance.

Maximum assistance

Maximum assistance will be ₹20 crore for companies/registered cooperative societies and ₹8 crore for others. However, the limit for guarantees and discounting of government promissory notes will be up to ₹50 crore for all entities.

The validity of the LoC is for five years. Once the customers execute the loan agreement, they can avail all facilities throughout the five-year period with minimum formalities. The scheme will be reviewed on the basis of feedback from the MSMEs.

Kerala Financial Corporation targets to disburse at least ₹500 crore under this scheme during the current financial year itself, the spokesman added.
