MARKET REVIEW-The week was not very comforting from a bull s angle as profit taking again emerged and critical levels got breached. Rupee s fall against the dollar is another worrying factor as FII s went back to selling mode. The result season has so far been better than expected but with a vibrant IPO market the secondary market is bearing the brunt of selling.
BACK TO RESULT SEASON
Sept quarter results are trickling in. Let’s explore some of them to get cues of where the stocks could be heading.
Rs in cr, Bracket indicates ch in % against Sept,24 quarter. Loss as in absolute number
| Company | Revenue | Net profit |
| Patanjali Foods | 9799(+20) | 517(+67) |
| Sai Silks | 444(+27) | 40(+66) |
| Sagility | 492(+16) | 111(+52) |
| Bharat Bijlee | 473(20) | 28(+47) |
Patanjali Foods (602)-The company has earned a niche “desi” clientele who have been loyal clients since long and with strong brands from the Patanjali portfolio the patronage is likely to continue. It has also got into exports though it still is around 5% of the revenue. The growth potential enthused the management to issue bonus shares in the ratio of 2:1 which has resulted the equity rising to Rs 217 cr.EPS for the quarter on the enhanced capital stands at Rs 4.75. The company is on a high growth path and at current levels looks reasonably priced.
Sai Silk (182)-The company is a retail textile business group that has been in existence for the last 20 years and one of the top retailers of ethnic clothing especially sarees from South India. The company went public in 2023 at an issue price of Rs 222.However, after scaling a high of 315 the journey of the scrip has been downhill and now gone below the issue price. On the performance front the revenue has shown a modest growth in the FY23-25 period .However ,profitability has seen pressure during the period and down by 10% .The Sept quarter has however seen a resurgence and profitability has improved .Seasonally the Oct -Mar period should be better with the festive and marriage season in full swing .The company should ideally end up with EPS of around Rs 10 -11 for the year. At current levels investors are still circumspect though valuation looks reasonable.
Sagility (52)-The company is a technology-enabled, pure-play healthcare focused solutions and services provider that supports US-based payers and partners to deliver effective healthcare financial and clinical outcomes. The company merges human expertise and process automation and provides analytics driven business insight and the power of AI/ML and domain rich technology platforms. The company has come out with impressive numbers for the Sept quarter .However with a high equity base the EPS comes to a modest Rs 0.23.The market is enthused by the performance and the scrip touched a life time high price of 58 before settling above 50.The company is a perfect case of AI enabling business analysis and offering solutions and with healthcare still in a nascent stage of such analytics ,growth prospects are bright .Investor appetite looks high and at lower levels of around 40-45 should attract buying.
Bharat Bijlee (3023)-The company has been in existence for a long period and has primarily 2 segments-Power Systems that comprise transformers and projects division and Industrial systems which comprises of electric motors, drives and industrial automation and elevator systems division. The company has had a decent track record and growth prospects appear bright. With an EPS of Rs 25 for the quarter the stock could attract investor interest at lower levels.
NIFTY –The index traded on expected lines. However, the closing near the low of the week was not comforting. The next support lies at around 25500 and on the upside 26000 would act as a resistance and attract selling pressure. Banks could again be critical as with heavy weightage they could swing the index either way.
BANK NIFTY-The movement of the index was not comforting even though it touched an all-time high couple of weeks back. The movement of ICICI Bank has been baffling as against run of play it has seen selling pressure and dipped below the 200-dma. Odds are high that the index could drift down to levels of 57000 which could even result in a swift fall to 56400.Expected range should be 56800-58000.
