3. 23PM: Dhanuka Agritech update
On Dhanuka Agritech - Q2FY21 result update - Centrum Broking said," DAGRI currently trades at just 15.6x FY22E EPS, 11.7x EV/EBITDA and 3.5x P/BV. The stock has reflected the improved performance over the last 2 quarters, with 2x increase seen over May-Sep. Given the recent underperformance however (stock is down 6% over last month), we believe that there is a good opportunity to enter the stock, given peer leading growth of 27%/26% CAGR in EBITDA/PAT over FY20-22e. The stock has traded at an average PEG multiple of 2x (last 6-year average excluding FY19 which was negative) and our target price of Rs1,050/sh is based off a 22x FY22E EPS (revised up 4% post this result) of Rs47/sh, implying a PEG of only 0.9x this is 36% upside from CMP. BUY
3. 13 PM: Orient Cement update
Centrum Broking said," ORCMNT currently trades at a EV/EBITDA of 5.4x FY22e earnings. We assign EV/EBITDA of 6.0x March 2022E earnings estimates to arrive at a fair value of Rs84/sh (unchanged). At our target price the stocks trade at a replacement cost of Rs3.4bn/mt March 2022E capacity. The discount is higher due to risk of regional concentration and presence in over supply market. New capacity addition is on hold helping ORCMNT to shape its balance sheet better. We have maintained our BUY rating."

The buoyancy in prices was seen returning back following the monsoon withdrawal from almost all the regions in the country and pre-festival demand gradually gaining momentum
We retain our BUY rating on Ambuja Cement, Orient Cement and Star Cement while have upgraded Ultratech to BUY from ADD earlier in our 2QFY21 update. We assign Add rating to ACC and Heidelberg Cement. We maintain our Reduce rating on Ramco Cements and JK Cement (JKCE) to Reduce (largely due to valuation concerns). We maintain our Sell rating on JK Lakhsmi Cement, Shree Cement and India Cements."

1. 54 PM: ICICI Bank update
On ICICI Bank, We expect its loan book to fatten cautiously at CAGR of 10% over FY21-23E, led by balanced growth across segments. In our opinion, the bank's asset quality may witness some hiccups and estimate return ratio ROA/ROE of 0.9% and 8.6% inFY22E. We value the standalone entity at 1.9xFY22E BVPS (Rs 188) and its investment in subsidiaries and JVs Rs 114 per share; we arrive at a target price of Rs 471. We recommend BUY rating with a potential upside of 20%.
1. 40 PM: YES Bank update
ICICI Securities said,"The anticipated capital erosion risk at one go from unrecognised stress is scaled down and deferred. However, given the challenging environment and the existing stress pool, credit cost will offset operating profit in the interim, thereby, suppressing earnings. Super-imposing potential medium term return profile on valuation multiple of 1.1 times FY22 adj book suggests turnaround progress is fairly captured in valuations."
1. 30 PM: Global markets
Key U.S. events this week including the presidential election, Federal Reserve meeting and the release of major corporate results. US Dow closed 157 points negative on Friday. Dow Fut was trading 3 points negative. European indices closed mixed in the range of -0.4% to 0.5%. The Asian indices are trading mixed in range of -0.65% to 1.35%
1. 23PM: Cummins India update
JMFL in it snote said," Cummins India results beat expectations by a wide margin. Net sales reported a 11% YoY decline in sales (14% above JMFe), while adj EBITDA grew by 25% YoY (vs our expectation of 40% decline), as margins jumped to 16.4% (+480 bps YoY). Sales improvement was led by a V-shaped recovery in exports (+18% YoY) due to low base, pent-up demand and healthy recovery in emerging markets. Domestic sales declined 22% YoY, mainly by power-gen sales (-35%) and industrials (-21%) while distribution recovered well (-3%). Higher share of exports and distribution drove improvement in gross margins to 38.1% (+310bps), while cost actions taken by the company led to a sharp reduction in fixed expenses. Given high volatility in sales, management refrained from providing an outlook, but we believe robust exports momentum, recovery in domestic business and sustainability of cost-cutting initiatives are likely to keep margins elevated. Hence, we expect KKC is likely to keep surprising street estimates going forward. We maintain BUY with revised TP of INR550."
1.09 PM: M&M update
Amarjeet Maurya - AVP - Mid Caps, Angel Broking said," In the month of October 20, overall M&M tractor sales grew ~2%. Domestic sales in October 2020 were at 45,588 units, as against 44,646 units during October 2019. Exports for the month stood at 970 units (growth of 23% over last year). M&M continue to witness unprecedented retail demand which is likely to be higher than wholesale numbers on back of expectations of a higher Kharif output and good cash flow in the market. Auspicious festival days ahead, coupled with mechanization requirements for ongoing Kharif harvesting and impending Rabi sowing season augurs well for the industry."
12. 53 PM: Real Estate sector update
Uddhav Poddar, MD, Bhumika Group said, "The ongoing festive season is expected to witness return of buyers in the realty market. It is majorly going to be driven by section of end-users with pent-up demand since the month of March. Festive offers and flexible payment plans would be other key drivers that will give confidence to the buyers for making a high-end and essential investment like property. Purchasing an asset like real estate is generally a once in a lifetime opportunity for many, and with multiple factors interplaying to make this investment convenient and less burdening on the overall budget of buyer, festive time would be an opportune time to drive more sales in realty. Due to the Covid situation people have realised the importance of owning tangible assets such as real estate and that is driving demand."

As per Geojit Financial: last week, we had warned of 11400-11200, but the pull back on Friday, after brief penetration of 11585 suggests that the play is still that of a parallel consolidation, and therefore, the 12250-380 hopes are not dead yet.

Expect 11660 to ask questions initially, and inability to float above the same, would be a bear sign.
