[ad_1]

Read More/Less


1. SBI- Buy SBI for a target price of Rs. 572

The PSB lender is expected to see gains of up to 8 percent from current price levels. The price target for the stock is Rs. 572. The stock last closed at a price of Rs. 530.45 per share.

The bank has surprised the street with its positive results despite fully accounting for one-time accelerated pension cost of Rs. 74bn, given a

sustained improvement in asset quality. Gross slippages came in at 0.7 percent

There has been reported growth in loan category led by increase in retail loans.”With favourable trends on impairment and recoveries/upgrades resulting in gradual credit cost normalisation, SBI’s incremental RoA reflation to potential ~1% is now contingent on higher asset yields. We revise our FY22 earnings estimates by -8% to factor in accelerated pension costs and credit cost normalisation. We maintain BUY with a revised SOTP-based target price of INR572 (core at 1.2x Sep’23 ABVPS)”, says the HDFC Securities’ report.

Steady-state asset quality: SBI’s GNPA/NNPA stood at 4.9%/1.5% (Q1FY22: 5.3%/1.8%), benefitting from recoveries (large HFC) and sharp inter-quartile

upgrades. Net slippages, at 0.7%, stemmed from the corporate segment and included one NBFC exposure.

“Need for growth and reflation in asset yields: SBI’s P&L performance was skewed by accelerated pension costs, large write-backs, and low interest

reversals. As back book asset quality issues recede, our incremental focus is likely to be on how SBI can potentially reflate asset yields to drive 1% RoA

through gradual portfolio repricing and re-risking (without adding to credit

costs) and better operating efficiencies”, adds the report.

2. Tata Motors- Buy Tata Motors for a target of Rs. 560

2. Tata Motors- Buy Tata Motors for a target of Rs. 560

The Nifty Auto stock is expected to see gains of up to 14 percent from current price level of Rs. 489.7 to a price target of Rs. 560 per share. The ‘Buy’ on the stock is recommended by the brokerage house even as the company reported Q2FY22 loss of Rs. 45bn due tothe ongoing chip shortages. The management expects production trends to improve over H2, as suppliers are recovering from the plant fires/lockdownsin Asia. The dealer inventory at JLR is at a multi-year low of 30Kunits – at the same time the order book is robust at 125K units ( about 3-month sales). Tata has monetised its India passenger car EV business at a valuation of USD6.7-9.1bn,by selling a 11-15% stake to TPG Rise (which is a marquee PE firm). We are raising our SOTP value to INR 560, based on Sep’23 earnings (from Jun’23 earlier). We ascribe a higher value to the India business of INR 330 to factor in the EV business valuation, as stated above. We also value the JLR business at 2.75x on EV/EBITDA (from 2.5x earlier) to factor in an improving supplyoutlook as well as the expected roll-out of the new Range Rover in Q4FY22.

JLR accounts for INR 218 per share (including CJLR).

Key highlights on the scrip as described by the brokerage

(1) Supplies to improve in H2: The chip production is

likely to improve from here on as vendors are coming out of the lockdown. Cash flows (-GBP 664mn) were impacted due to higher working capital,

which will normalise.

(2) New RR launch in Q4: The new RR will drive

volumes in FY23E. The PHEV variant offers class leading EV range of 100kms, with the BEV option to be rolled out in 2024. The model is built on

the new MLA Flex platform.

(3) India car business is gaining share: With

the launch of the new ‘Punch’, Tata has received a 50% increase in bookings.

The OEM is steadily gaining market share – Q2 share at 11.3% (+130bps QoQ) is at a eight-year high. Electric traction: Domestic EV car sales have crossed the 1,000 unit p.m. milestone, with a sharp rise in the order backlog. Post TPG’s infusion, the EV business is valued at 5-7x on FY26/27E revenue.

Govt looks at Rs 1.5L cr GST mop-up in coming months, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


With economic activity stabilising, especially services, the government is hoping that monthly GST collections would stabilise around Rs 1.5 lakh crore over the next few months, helping the overall revenue situation at the Centre and the states.

This would mean that the mop-up will be higher than the record collections of Rs 1.4 lakh crore in April before it slipped to Rs 92,900 crore in June on account of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Collections in October (for sales in September) were pegged at Rs 1.3 lakh crore, the second highest monthly mop-up.

“Spending has gone up and the collections for October and November are expected to stay strong, if not better than the numbers we just saw,” said a government source. Officials in the indirect tax wing said that it is time for the government to now initiate the next set of measures to bolster collections, suggesting that the current mechanism has nearly reached full capacity.

A group of ministers has already been set up to look at rationalisation of rates, among other things, and officials suggested that some drastic measures, including an increase in rates for some of the items in the 5% bracket was required, if not move the first slab upwards to 6-7%. Besides, they said, there were a whole set of items in the exempted category, which needed to be reviewed as there were several instances where the sellers were misusing the exemptions.

Further, officials suggested that it was time for the finance ministers at the Centre and the state level to look at merging the 12% and 18% slabs and may settle for 16-17% as the standard rate. A couple of years ago, the RBI had estimated the weighted average GST rate at 11.6%, against the estimated revenue-neutral rate of 15-15.5%. In the past, state finance ministers have avoided discussing the revamp plan and it is unlikely that any decision will be taken until crucial assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, among other states, are over.

As of October 2021, about 44 crore beneficiary accounts under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) have been integrated with ‘JAM’ (Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile) trinity thereby helping the government improve the targeting of its programmes by addressing the right section of people, a top official in the Union Finance Ministry said.

“Earlier when I was handling the National Food Security Act, the problem was that a lot of benefits were going from the government, but we were not sure whether they were reaching the right people or not,” said Manisha Sensarma, Economic Adviser, Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministry of Finance.

“Knowing that resources are limited and need to be used in a judicious manner, what we have now tried to attempt through use of technology and leveraging Aadhaar is that intended benefits should reach the eligible and identified beneficiaries so that there is no leakage of resources,” she said.

Sensarma added that in absence of this infrastructure, while facing the challenges of the pandemic it would have been very difficult for the Government to deliver the way the delivery mechanisms were put in place had the PMJDY accounts not been in place.

“During the Covid, there were many benefits that were provided directly into beneficiaries’ accounts via the DBT system,” said Sensarma.

Noting that women are a major component in PMJDY accounts, she said, “In the package that was announced after March 2021, an amount of Rs 500 per month for initial three months for women could be transferred in a very seamless manner because of the existence of PMJDY accounts.”

She added that these benefits which were announced during the Covid pandemic could seamlessly reach the beneficiaries because of the infrastructure that had been created for the downtrodden and those at the bottom pyramid of the population. “For instance, some of the benefits which were transferred during pandemic, it included cash transfers to the vulnerable sections, insurance coverage for health workers, employment provisions and measures for migrant workers, besides, wage component was also increased under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA).”

Sensarma further said that in order to bridge the gaps by focusing on MSMEs and NBFCs there were relief-based measures as various announcements were made during the pandemic and regulatory compliance measures were announced during this period, so as to streamline the processes.

She said that in an all-India debt and investment survey conducted by NSSO in 2019 whereby about 2,000 rural villages and 4,000 urban blocks were covered, it was found that about 95 per cent of households had at least one financial asset viz., be it a savings account, retirement account, risk free product, insurance account, some savings scheme. “So even the vulnerable sections are getting covered under financial inclusion, that in itself is a pointer that we intend to cover the bottom pyramid of population.”

Talking about the Mudra Scheme – categorised in three parts viz., Shishu, Kishor and Tarun, launched to provide credit to MSMEs as term loans or meeting their working capital requirements, particularly in manufacturing, trading and services sectors she said, “We are happy to record that out of total disbursements, roughly about 87 per cent of the loan disbursements are under Shishu category providing loans up to Rs 50,000. So small entrepreneurs are being addressed and catered to by this scheme. Simultaneously it addresses women entrepreneurs as they account for two-third of beneficiaries covered under Mudra Loans.”

She also said that digital payments have become very resilient and the kind of response being received is very-very encouraging. “As of September 2021, 259 banks had joined the digital space, so technology is helping simplify procedures and make our lives easier including for small vendors.”

She also sought cooperation of all stakeholders including private sector, industrial associations, civil society to further promote financial inclusion, a major enabler to take the country forward.

In his address, Sudatta Mandal, deputy MD, Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) said that open-based lending is one of the initiatives which SIDBI is going to take.

“We are in the process of working out a pilot scheme for providing unsecured, invoice-based financing through the open network,” said Mandal.

He also said that cash-flow based lending is going to be the trend going forward. “We have to move forward from traditional balance sheet based lending to cash-flow based lending, for that access to alternate data is very important.”

Global equity rally pauses as bonds hold surge, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Asian stocks dipped Friday and US futures were steady as a global equity rally paused. Sovereign bonds held gains after investors scaled back expectations for monetary-policy tightening to quell inflation.

Shares fell in Japan and Hong Kong, where developer Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. and its Hong Kong-listed units were suspended from trading in the latest sign of stress from China’s troubled property sector. S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and European futures fluctuated after tech shares led Wall Street to a record high.

Treasuries and the dollar held a climb. A surprise Bank of England move to hold interest rates spurred a global surge in bonds as investors reviewed the outlook for borrowing costs. Interest-rate futures had priced in two quarter-point Federal Reserve increases in 2022 but shifted the second one toward 2023. Jerome Powell this week said the Fed can be patient on hikes.

Crude oil advanced. Saudi Arabia and its OPEC+ allies rebuffed US President Joe Biden’s pleas for a large production boost. That leaves Biden with the option of tapping the US strategic reserve.

The focus turns to the US jobs report due Friday since the level of progress on employment could shift views on monetary policy again, heralding further volatility in the bond market. Stocks are riding out such gyrations so far: solid US earnings appear to have reassured investors that the economic recovery can weather pandemic-related supply chain and labor disruptions.

“You have to stay away from bonds at the moment,” Nancy Tengler, chief investment officer at Laffer Tengler Investments, said on Bloomberg Television. While there is a “little bit of a rally going on” in fixed income, “it’s difficult to see a way clear to make a lot of money, especially when real rates are negative,” she said.

Elsewhere, Australia’s central bank in a quarterly update of forecasts dismissed the prospect of a rate increase in the next 12 months, further pushing back against market expectations of a tightening cycle starting next year.

Meanwhile, China’s government bonds were set for their biggest weekly advance since July after the nation’s central bank increased its injection of short-term cash.

The latest US data showed unemployment benefits fell to the lowest since March 2020. Friday’s employment report is forecast to show nonfarm payrolls rose by 450,000 in October. Traders are likely to watch out for wages growth.

“The narrative around wage growth and very strong job creation suggests to me we are nowhere out of the woods in seeing higher bond yields going into next year,” Sean Darby, chief global equity strategist at Jefferies, said on Bloomberg Television.

IPO rush continues; Paytm, 2 other public issues to open next week, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


New Delhi, Hectic fundraising through IPOs will continue next week, with three firms — One97 Communications, owner of Paytm; Sapphire Foods India, which operates KFC and Pizza Hut outlets; and Latent View Analytics — are set to launch their initial share-sales to collectively mop up about Rs 21,000 crore. This comes after five companies successfully concluded their public offerings (IPOs) this week.

Those five firms are – FSN E-Commerce Ventures, which runs online marketplace for beauty and wellness products Nykaa; Fino Payments Bank; Policybazaar parent entity PB Fintech; decorative aesthetics supplier SJS Enterprises; and microcrystalline cellulose maker Sigachi Industries.

The three-day IPOs of Paytm, Sapphire Foods India and Latent View Analytics are scheduled to open on November 8, November 9 and November 10, respectively.

So far in 2021, as many as 46 companies have floated their IPOs to raise Rs 80,102 crore and market experts believe that the year should close with the Rs 1-lakh crore primary market fundraising.

Apart from these, PowerGrid InvIT, the infrastructure investment trust (InvIT) sponsored by the Power Grid Corporation of India, mopped up Rs 7,735 crore through its IPO, and Brookfield India Real Estate Trust raised Rs 3,800 crore via its initial share-sale.

The fundraising so far this year is way higher than Rs 26,611 crore collected by 15 companies through initial share-sales in the entire 2020.

Such impressive fundraising through IPOs was last seen in 2017 when firms mobilised Rs 67,147 crore through 36 initial share-sales.

Digital firm One97 Communications, which operates under the Paytm brand name, is set to come out with its Rs 18,300-crore IPO on November 8.

The IPO comprises fresh issuance of equity shares worth Rs 8,300 crore and Rs 10,000 crore from an offer for sale (OFS) by existing shareholders.

The company has fixed a price band of Rs 2,080-2,150 apiece, implying a valuation of around Rs 1.48 lakh crore.

The Rs 18,300-crore offer, if successful, will be the biggest in the country after Coal India’s IPO in 2010, wherein the state-owned company had garnered Rs 15,200 crore.

“The biggest merit for Paytm’s IPO would be that they have so much more diversified regulatory access under one roof.

“This focus on diversification means that none of their particular business books has depth, unlike other major players who focus more on specialising,” Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of True Beacon and Zerodha, said.

On Wednesday, Paytm raised Rs 8,235 crore from anchor investors.

Sapphire Foods India’s public issue will be entirely an offer of sale (OFS) of 17,569,941 equity shares by promoters and existing shareholders.

As part of the OFS, QSR Management Trust will sell 8.50 lakh shares, Sapphire Foods Mauritius Ltd will offload 55.69 lakh shares, WWD Ruby Ltd will divest 48.46 lakh shares and Amethyst will offer 39.62 lakh shares.

In addition, AAJV Investment Trust will sell 80,169 shares, Edelweiss Crossover Opportunities Fund will offload 16.15 lakh shares and Edelweiss Crossover Opportunities Fund-Series II will divest 6.46 lakh shares.

The company has fixed a price band of Rs 1,120-1,180 a share for its IPO. At the upper end of the price band, the initial public offering is expected to fetch Rs 2,073 crore.

Latent View Analytics’ IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 474 crore and an offer of sale of equity shares to the tune of Rs 126 crore by a promoter and existing shareholders.

As part of the OFS, promoter Adugudi Viswanathan Venkatraman will offload shares worth Rs 60.14 crore, shareholder Ramesh Hariharan will sell Rs 35 crore shares and Gopinath Koteeswaran will offload Rs 23.52 crore shares among others.

Currently, Venkatraman owns a 69.63 per cent stake in the company, Koteeswaran holds a 7.74 per cent stake and Hariharan has a 9.67 per cent holding in the firm.

The company has set a price band of Rs 190-197 a share for its IPO.

The proceeds from the fresh issue will be used for funding inorganic growth initiatives, working capital requirements of the subsidiary LatentView Analytics Corporation, and investment in subsidiaries to augment their capital base for future growth and general corporate purposes.

The company provides services ranging from data and analytics consulting to business analytics and insights, advanced predictive analytics, data engineering and digital solutions. PTI SP HRS hrs
