Morning Bells (26 Apr 13)

Good Morning Friends.

Shakespeare did not pass M.A. in English, but now no one can pass M.A. in English without reading Shakespeare books.

The Nifty has re-conquered the 5,900 mark, closing the April F&O series on a high. The Sensex too shut shop above 19,400.

The markets rallied in the last half an hour of trade after volume-weighted average price-based buying in banking and auto stocks lifted the Nifty nearly 60 points from the day’s low. In lay terms, VWAP is the ratio of average traded price to the total volume traded over a particular time horizon.

RESULT CALENDER –

Friday – Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki, ICICI Bank

=======================  NIFTY OUTLOOK  ========================

As informed since Monday - Nifty and Bank Nifty futures are seeing long rollovers of around 28% and 20%, so now 5760 could act as strong support as huge put writing seen in 5800 April option.

The Nifty gained close to 4 percent in the April series. Midcap and smallcap stocks also performed well. Bank Nifty was the star performer with massive 12 percent gains in this series. The hopes of rate cut picked up pace after March inflation data which were announced on April 15 touched 40-month low.

Since Nifty closed above 5900, so we can see some up swing before RBI policy, say Nifty can attempt to 6000 level and then further move or decline will depend on RBI announcement. Still 5965 is a hurdle. But positive part which I am seeing right now is FII buying in the cash market. Their short covering is more or less done in Index.

So keep eye on 5965-6000 range, if one sees the calls of May series, the maximum build-up that one can be seeing is a 5900 Call option. It is quite possible that market may go a bit higher than 5900, and change the consensus that it is losing the steam. We might probably touch 6,000 figure also and from there the correction may happen and if closed above then 6160 is possible.

Also suggested that 5760-80 will act as good support for Nifty.

Intraday Resistance – 6014 – 5969 – 5942 and Support – 5871 – 5826 – 5800 (Pivot 5898)

Opening – Seems on positive note but will see some pressure as today we have some major Q4 nos.

========================  STOCK OUTLOOK  ======================

(Stock outlook needs to watch stock movement carefully and then one can bet after having a look, I tried to put related info which will help you in taking positions.)

TM –

According to experts luxury brand Land Rover continues to grow ahead of competition in China, one of its biggest market, even as the overall luxury car demand there has slowed down a bit.

High demand for luxury vehicles from increasingly affluent Chinese has led to strong sales for companies like Audi, Mercedes, BMW and JLR.

Jaguar Land Rover now accounts for over 90 percent of Tata Motors' consolidated earnings. It sold 77,000 units in China last year, and is expected to race ahead of Europe (excluding UK) and become its largest market.

In order to cash in on the strong demand in China, JLR last year struck a deal with local car maker Chery Automobile Co to manufacture vehicles there. It is also expanding its dealer network to 200 from 100 last year.

After a surge in 2012, growth in tier I cities in China is now flat for most luxury brands, but JLR demand remains strong since Land Rover is considered must have brand in a wealthy Chinese's car portfolio, the analysts said.

My View – As suggested earlier TM may continue its onward journey and now TM is next price band which is 291-305, one can hold TM with SL 281.

Rcom –

Dear investors got secret news earlier and that’s Rcom shot up approx 15% this week, news was –

Maruti Suzuki – Revenue seen up 15%

Maruti Suzuki India  will kickstart auto sector earnings on Friday. Passenger car sales have been downhill for the past year now and so the street will keenly eye the company's performance in the fourth quarter and how it sees the road ahead.

Analysts expect the India's largest passenger car maker to report around 30-35 percent sequential rise (around 6-7 percent year-on-year) in quarterly net profit. Its revenue is expected to rise around 15 percent quarter-on-quarter (10 percent YoY), despite lower volumes compared to a year ago, helped by price hikes and improved mix (higher percentage of diesel vehicles).

Sales of passenger cars, especially petrol driven, have been sluggish over the last one year due to expensive loans and high interest rates. Maruti's compact car (Alto, WagonR, A-Star) sales too have taken a hit, although its DZire compact sedan and Ertiga multi-utility vehicle are in huge demand.

Net sales more than doubled from Rs 32 crore to Rs 77 crore YoY. In the recent past, many real estate companies were stuck due to rising inventories in abasence of adequate demand.

Debt equity ratio, a measure of company's financial health, marginally rose to 0.18% as against 0.17% a year back.
