1. 20 PM: Bharat Electronics outlook
LKP Securties in its note said,"Current valuations assume the negative impact of Covid on defence spending in FY21 but do not price in any major order inflows as an offshoot from the recent geopolitical issues. The government's revived stance on domestic procurement of defense equipments will however have its share of positivity on the stock price. The stock currently looks quite undervalued as it trades at 10.4x P/E FY22E, materially lower than its long term average of 16x. This is after demonstrating its ability to secure orders, ramp up of execution, maintain margins of 19-20% after accounting for 8% of R&D expenses, manage strong free cash flows despite poor finances of the government and achieve ROE's of close to ~18% in the past three years. We maintain BUY rating on the stock and target price of Rs 132, based on 15x P/E FY22E. We believe BEL's diversified product portfolio, core competence in electronics warfare and strong opportunity pipeline will keep it ahead of its competitor."
1.09 PM: US election outlook
Jyoti Roy- DVP- Equity Strategist, Angel Broking said,"In the US elections the Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden is all set to be the next US President though the results are most likely to be challenged by the incumbent president in the US Supreme Court. While the blue wave which predicted a clean sweep for the democrats would have been the most preferred outcome of the US elections we believe that the current outcome is still acceptable as it would give the new president enough room to implement his policies. Post the US elections focus will shift to progress on the second US stimulus package and it is expected that the democrats will come to an agreement with the republicans regarding the size of the package soon. There is also expected to be a significant shift in foreign policy with the US taking a less combative tone under the new president which will be good for global trade. Though the US may maintain a relatively tough stance on China we expect significant improvement in relationship with the rest of the world which would be good for global equities.
While the markets have cheered the results, further up move from here on will be a function of smooth transition of power and passage of the second US stimulus package. Key risks for the markets which can derail the current rally are 1) further surge in Covid-19 cases globally 2) Delay in vaccine production as compared to timelines expected by markets 3) Any delay in the second US stimulus package."

11. 46 AM: Market outlook
Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives, Angel Broking said," Despite some challenging times, we remained hopeful at the start of the week as long as the key support of 11600-11500 is not violated. Market not only defended it but is very much at a comfortable position now with new record highs in sight. Technically, we can see a 'Bullish Flag' breakout happening along with a 'Breakaway Gap' on a daily chart. It is considered a strong development and hence, we are likely to move beyond previous highs soon. So, 12430.50 is the first level to watch and post then the theoretical target of the 'Flag' pattern is around 12700. Further levels can be projected as we move forward. On the flip side, Thursday's gap area of 12027.20- 11929.65 should act as a strong support. This rally can be considered a healthy one because almost all sectors have contributed to it and financial space has dominated it along with the late participation from the broader market."

The retail and digital arm posted numbers which were in line with expectations. While overall the numbers were in line with street estimates the internals were on the weaker side. Post the Q2 numbers Reliance shares hit a low of Rs. 1835."
"However the stock reversed and rallied post announcement that The Public Investment Fund ("PIF") will invest Rs 9,555 crore in Reliance Retail Ventures Limited ("RRVL") for a 2.04% stake in the company. This investment values Reliance Retail at a pre-money equity value of Rs 4.587 lakh crore. The value ascribed by PIF to reliance Retail is higher than the value ascribed by earlier investors of Rs. 4.285 lakh crore. This is the second investment by PIF into RIL group with the first being an acquisition of a 2.32% stake in Jio Platforms. While the stock has rallied post announcement of investment by PIF we believe that further up move from here on will depend upon further investments into Reliance retail along with developments on the company's plan to attract investments into the O2C business. markets will also be keeping a keen eye on progress of the Jio Mart platform."
