Sensex Today Live : WIth GDP data revise rate cut expectations? Elara Securities India says unlikely; expects FY25E growth at 7%

Sensex Today Live : While the headline GDP print is encouraging, the internals do not paint an extremely optimistic picture.

Private final consumption expenditure growth was 3.5% in Q3FY24, slightly better than 2.4% in Q2FY24. Agriculture gross value add decelerated in a seasonally strong quarter and industry growth eased from 13.6% in Q2FY24 to 10.4% in Q3FY24.

While the MPC may take cognizance of today’s GDP print, we believe hereon, rate cut call by the MPC may be guided more by exogenous factors such as timing and quantum of rate cut by US Federal Reserve.

With such factors being pushed ahead in the face of incoming strong data in the US, we do not see India rate cuts commencing before Q3FY25 vs Q2 earlier. We see 50-75bps rate cut this cycle (earlier FY25E). We see FY25E CPI at an average of 4.5%.

We retain our FY25E growth at 7%

For FY25E, we retain our growth projection at 7% with most support to growth likely from gradual recovery in private final consumption expenditure, especially in the mass segments in rural India amid sharply moderating inflation.

Private capex will stay selective and tentative amid election-related uncertainty.

Additionally, continued improvement in corporate profitability would support industrial GVA as global commodity prices continue to be soft.

Urban consumption growth, especially services, would be supported, but expect the momentum to normalize led by tightening of credit standards by the RBI through risk-weight increases and lagged impact of monetary tightening.

Sensex Today Live : Kotak Institutional Equities says SC diktat serves as a reminder on regulatory risks in Health Care Services

Sensex Today Live : In an ongoing PIL, the Supreme Court has told the central government that if it, along with the states, does not come out with a proposal for hospital rates in line with the Clinical Establishment Act (CEA), it will implement CGHS rates across hospitals as an interim measure.

While this issue cannot be taken lightly given the SC’s strong diktat, we believe it is very difficult to implement uniform pricing across hospitals (public and private).

In a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by an NGO, the petitioner has requested for rates of fees chargeable from the patients in line with the Clinical Establishment Rules, 2012.

Difficult to implement, yet serves as a reminder on risks amid steep valuations

In the worst case, if CGHS rates are levied, almost all hospitals under our coverage will turn EBITDA negative (assuming insurance companies also negotiate lower prices).

Apart from challenges such as subjectivity and variance involved in clinical outcomes, quality of doctors, infrastructure and implementation of this pan-India might also likely warrant a change in legislation. Two years ago, the SC had clearly said that no government can fix rates for patients in private hospitals.

Looking at past precedents, including during Covid, we do not believe the government (Centre and States) would be keen to actively manage public health care services. Nevertheless, amid steep valuations, this diktat creates an overhang (especially on future price hikes and expansion) and assumes more relevance, particularly as regulatory interventions reduced in the recent past.

Companies having the highest exposure (measured as a percentage of operational beds falling under states and UTs, which have adopted the CEA) are Medanta, KIMS, Rainbow, Apollo, Max, Narayana and Aster DM (in that order).

Sensex Today Live : Kotak Institutional Equities says Grain prices under pressure, Agricultural crop price cycle has weakened

Sensex Today Live : US futures prices of corn, soybeans and wheat softened another 4-6% sequentially during the past month and are down 24-34% yoy. The weakness is due to rising supplies in the global market.

Commodity traders have increased their short positions on these three grains to the highest levels in almost the past 20 years in expectation of a global supply glut.

In contrast, farmers are holding on to their stocks (to avoid selling at depressed prices) and are believed to be reducing corn and wheat acreages in the US by 4-5%.

This could potentially drive a rebound in grain prices, particularly if climate or geopolitics turn adverse.

In India, however, the correction in crop prices has been considerably less significant than it has been overseas.

Rainfall remained deficient across most of the country in February, while reservoir levels remain low in south India.

Sensex Today Live : Kotak Institutional Equities updates on the chemical sector, says Chemical industry data points indicate continued softness

Sensex Today Live : India’s exports of organic and inorganic chemicals fell 6.5% m-o-m but rose 0.3% yoy in January 2024, while imports dropped 13.7%/18.0% mom/yoy.

US chemical production for January 2024 was lower by 1.3%/0.2% mom/yoy, while chemical railcar holdings—a measure of volumes—increased 3.4% yoy on a 13-week moving average basis for the week ending February 17.

US data indicates continued softness in pricing, with chemicals producer prices down 5.7% yoy and import prices down 1.8%/2.2% mom/yoy.

In Europe, chemical output rose 1.7% yoy but fell 2.9% mom; capacity utilization remains low at 74.7%.

Certain end-use industries such as dyes & pigments are showing early signs of recovery, whereas others such as agrochemicals continue to destock, and a recovery is still two quarters away.

Chemical price trends

Softness in chemical prices continues in general, although sodium nitrite and chloroform prices did tick up 13-14% mom in January 2024.

Soda ash spot prices in China have corrected in recent weeks after a short-lived spike, while soda ash import prices into India, too, remain weak.

International phenol spreads remain below their decadal average despite certain production outages globally.

Prices of Atul’s key product categories, including 2,4-D herbicide, p-cresol and epoxy resins, remain soft, whereas sulfur black has recovered somewhat off a depressed base.

In refrigerants, average prices of R-134a have increased in recent months, although the rise seems attributable primarily to a favorable mix shift. R-32 prices have softened, whereas R-22 prices have firmed up modestly of late.

Sensex Today Live : Elara Securities India says cautiously optimistic on India’s PSU basket, recommends SBI, BOB, REC as top picks

Sensex Today Live : India’s PSU basket (PSUB) provides investors exposure to themes which either benefit or are insulated from geopolitical uncertainty.

The appeal lies in being 1) the direct beneficiary of higher commodity prices, 2) attractive valuation, 3) government-led capex initiatives, 4) relative under-ownership by institutional investors, and 5) potential upside on account of disinvestment.

Empirical evidence suggests that in a General Elections year, the BSE PSU Index rallies 14% on average (as per our analysis of the past three Elections in CY09, CY14 and CY19), with a tendency of returns to bottom out in February. Post bottoming and until the results announcement day, the Index has yielded a return of 22%.

Further upside post Elections could come via value unlocking through disinvestment.

The impending sale of IDBI Bank may get revived post the General Elections. We also expect the offer for sale (OFS) route to remain dominant. We believe GoI is intent on privatization, which would essentially improve efficiency and unlock value in this space.

PSUB valuation currently has run up to 11.4x, at a 1% premium to its upper Standard Deviation band, and draws parallels to FY17 valuation, which preceded three years of negative performance.

Furthermore, the PSU Index currently attributes 34% of the price to long-term growth expectations, approaching historical highs of 35% in FY17.

This leads us to our cautiously optimistic view, which is predicated on the belief that while the overarching bullish trend for PSU may moderate, there remain pockets of opportunity that can give a fresh leg up to the rally and deliver outsized returns.

Top Picks: SBIN IN, BOB IN, POWF IN, REC IN, OINL IN, HNAL IN, BHE IN, NTPC IN

Sensex Today Live : Soumya Kanti Ghosh, Group Chief Economic Adviser of State Bank of India decodes the new normals of a GDP likely to grow 8%

Sensex Today Live : For FY24, GDP growth is expected to increase by 7.6% and GVA growth by 6.9%. Based on the FY24, 7.6% GDP growth, we estimate Q4 GDP growth at 5.9%, which we believe is an understatement. Thus it is most likely that FY24 GDP growth could be within striking distance of 8%.

For the first time the per capita GDP at current prices crossed 2 lakh mark in FY24, with decadal CAGR growth of 8.9%. In constant prices too, per capita GDP has increased to 1.24 lakh in FY24.

Gross capital formation (GCF) by the government touched a high of 4.1% in FY23, up from 3.6% in FY20. This also had a domino effect on private sector investment that jumped from 11% to 11.9% over the same period. (All numbers are as a percentage of GDP).

At the aggregate level, gross capital formation is supposed to have crossed 33.7% in FY24, the highest level since FY19.

In FY23, gross savings is at 30.2%, and is supposed to cross 32.3% in FY24, the highest since FY14. The household savings increased sharply during the pandemic period on account of sharp accretion in financial savings such as deposits.

While household financial savings have since then moderated from 15.4% in FY23 to 11% in FY21. Savings in physical assets have grown sharply to 12.9% in FY23 from 10.8% in FY21.

Sensex Today Live : Kotak Institutional Equities gives update on loan demand from MSMEs; says healthy demand indicates lower pain

Sensex Today Live : Data from TU CIBIL-SIDBI shows MSME credit grew at ~12% yoy as of 2QFY24 led by strong demand from consumers and comfortable intent to lend by financiers.

We see active participation from all lenders (public, private banks and NBFCs) continuing.

Headline delinquency ratios continued to improve across the board and are at the lowest level in the past two years.

Inquiries have remained strong at 30% yoy. MSME credit grew at 12% yoy; disbursements being led by ‘micro’ segment

MSME credit grew at a swift pace of ~12% yoy. Originations (or disbursements) have been stronger in the micro segment (7% yoy), while small (3% yoy) and medium were weaker (-9% yoy). Overall disbursements were flat yoy at ~Rs2.4 tn.

This growth in micro segment is being led by PSU banks who have a ~33% share in this segment. On the other hand, we are seeing strong participation from private banks in the small and medium segments.

Delinquency ratios continued to decline across lender categories and MSME segments (see Exhibits 7-8), indicating that asset quality is less of a concern today.

The micro segment saw the sharpest growth in credit disbursements within MSME credit.

India has ~63 mn MSMEs of which only ~25 mn (~40%) are in the formal credit ecosystem.

Sensex Today Live : Sensex at record high: Why the Indian stock market is rising today — explained with 5 reasons

Sensex Today Live : Tata Motors, M&M to Bajaj Auto: Why are auto stocks rising after India’s stellar GDP data print?

Sensex Today Live : Following India’s impressive third-quarter GDP figures for the current fiscal year, there has been a surge in demand for auto stocks in early morning trading on Friday.

Shares of Tata Motors have risen by over 2%, while Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) shares have increased by approximately 1%.
