Earnings are expected to improve in the next two quarters, as government capex is set to resume following recent elections and monsoon challenges. Madhu Kela noted that some stocks have corrected by 50-60%, providing a consolidation opportunity, while the market is adjusting to previous performance levels.
Nifty and Sensex opened flat on November 27, with declines in realty, pharma, and FMCG stocks offset by gains in auto and IT sectors. The Sensex fell 52.03 points to 79,952.03, while Nifty dropped 19.60 points to 24,174.90. Analysts suggest that sustained foreign institutional investment could lead to a gradual market recovery, bolstered by a strong US economy and anticipated interest rate cuts.
Shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank are gaining attention following the Competition Commission of India's approval for its acquisition of Standard Chartered's unsecured personal loans portfolio in India for Rs 4,100 crore. This strategic move aims to enhance Kotak's presence in the retail credit market and focus on affluent salaried customers. The acquisition marks a significant transaction under the leadership of Ashok Vaswani.
The Competition Commission has approved Kotak Mahindra Bank's acquisition of Standard Chartered India's personal loans portfolio. This clearance, required for deals exceeding a specific threshold, ensures regulatory compliance and strengthens Kotak's position in the retail lending market.
Government capital expenditure is set to increase from Rs 69,000 crore to Rs 1.16 lakh crore to achieve a target of Rs 11.1 lakh crore, according to Kotak's Nilesh Shah. He anticipates that economic growth in the second half will be bolstered by the festival and wedding seasons, alongside rising government spending. Recent state election results may enhance investor confidence, facilitating the government's reform agenda.
The broader market experienced a significant rally on November 25, with the Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 indices surging nearly 2%, driven by strong buying in PSU stocks. This surge follows the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance's decisive victory in Maharashtra, which analysts believe will lead to increased capital expenditure and a boost in infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. The win is expected to facilitate a more consolidated approach to state and central politics, further benefiting PSU companies and stalled development projects.
Uday Kotak, founder of Kotak Mahindra Bank, expresses skepticism about bitcoin, echoing RBI Governor Das' concerns over its risks to financial stability. Meanwhile, Indian stocks have seen a decline, with the Nifty 50 down 2.54% this week, while the 10-year government bond yield rises to 6.854%. Experts highlight India's wealth gap, driven by unequal education access, and call for increased investment in primary education and job creation to address labor market challenges. Despite a recent surge in FDI, concerns remain about sustaining growth and reducing inequality.
Uday Kotak, founder of Kotak Mahindra Bank, emphasized the need for India to enhance its return on time invested (ROTI) to achieve its goal of becoming a developed nation. Speaking at the CNBC TV18 Global Leadership Summit, he highlighted the challenges in project execution across both private and public sectors, noting that India has only 23 years to reach a per capita income of over $15,000.
Uday Kotak, founder of Kotak Mahindra Bank, raised concerns about India's ability to withstand a potential global shock from a significant foreign portfolio investor (FPI) selloff. He highlighted the need for India to enhance its competitiveness in an increasingly protectionist global trade environment, especially after a record $11.2 billion in FPI sales in October led to a notable decline in the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex. With FPIs holding nearly $930 billion in Indian equities, Kotak questioned whether the market could absorb a 10% withdrawal without severe repercussions.
Retail loan defaults in India are rising, causing concern for the broader economy as personal loan growth slowed to 14% from over 30% last year. Lenders like Kotak Mahindra Bank and IndusInd Bank reported increased stress in unsecured loans, impacting stock prices, particularly for smaller loan-focused firms like Ujjivan Small Finance Bank. Analysts predict ongoing challenges for at least two more quarters, with high credit costs and potential prolonged stress if loan demand does not improve during the festive season.
