1.00 PM: Auto sector outlook
JM Financial Institutional said," As economic activity gathers steam post the Covid impact, 2W sales have started trending on a recovery path. Initially, market leader Hero MotoCorp (HMCL) driven by its high exposure to rural India, witnessed healthy demand traction. The recovery is now expected to become more broad-based, spreading over to bigger towns and cities. At the same time, Covid restrictions have eased globally for most markets, leading to pick-up in export sales. OEMs with higher export exposure -such as Bajaj Auto (BJAUT) and TVS Motor (TVSL) - are witnessing multi-quarter-high export demand. While uncertainty on income and closure of school/colleges led to downtrading in the market (augmenting demand for 125cc motorcycles) and weak demand for scooters, the trend is expected to reverse soon with companies rolling back salary cuts and sentiment turning positive with the vaccine roll-out. We believe the scooterisation phenomenon and premiumisation in the 2W segment will resume going forward. While commodity inflation may lead to near-term pressure on margins, cost reduction efforts and cost efficiencies set-in during the Covid period would aid profitability for the overall industry."

Some optimism came in with the report that a day after surging past the 150,000-mark, India's count of active cases has dropped to 148,882. Banking sector stocks were in focus as India Ratings revised its outlook on the overall banking sector from negative to stable for FY22. Going forward, global news flows and sector-specific developments will be key monitorable factors to impact investor sentiments."

10. 30 AM: Heranba Industries IPO
Nirali Shah, Head- Equity Research, Samco Securities said,"Heranba Industries' IPO issue of Rs.625 Cr is opening tomorrow. It is a crop protection chemical manufacturer, exporter and marketing company based out of Vapi, Gujarat. The Company has a strong 19.5% market share in the pyrethroids market and caters to over 60 countries. As of FY20, 49% of its revenues came from the overseas markets which enabled Heranba to sail through the ups and downs locally. Covid-19 also had minimal impact on the company's operations since all agrochemical companies were allowed to run at full capacities. Heranba's revenues have grown at a CAGR of 13% from FY18-FY20 whereas its PAT has grown at a CAGR of 44% during the same period. On top of that it has recorded robust average ROE and ROCE of 31.3% and 56% respectively for the last three years. The company has also been reducing debt on its books and trades at a reasonable valuation multiple of 25x P/E compared to its peers. The company faces high risk due to shoot up in raw material prices which forms a whopping 70% of its expenses. Moreover, it faces high competition risk from peers such as Rallis India, Bharat Rasayan and Sumimoto Chemical. But despite these risks, Heranba continues to capture a dominant position with sound fundamentals and diversification capabilities. Therefore, we recommend investors to subscribe to this IPO for listing gains. However, investors should also be cautious about the prevailing market sentiment and their own liquidity before aggressively subscribing to all IPO."
10.23 AM: Morning view on the market
Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said,"After a long gap, FIIs turned sellers yesterday. The combined selling by FIIs & DIIs pulled the market down sharply with a 306 point cut in Nifty. Sharp corrections like this are normal and even desirable in a bull market. When valuations are high some triggers will cause corrections. The escalation in Covid cases in Maharashtra, a spike in crude and rising bond yields provided the trigger for correction. Correction in Nasdaq yesterday is another reminder that excessive valuation cannot sustain. Investors should wait and watch for stability & consolidation in the market before making fresh commitments"
