Walmart"s CFO, John David Rainey, indicated that the retailer may need to raise prices on some items if proposed tariffs by President-elect Trump are implemented, despite the company"s commitment to everyday low prices. While two-thirds of Walmart"s products are domestically sourced, the potential tariffs could still lead to inflationary pressures on consumers. Other retailers, like Lowe"s, are also preparing for increased costs due to these tariffs, which could impact their supply chains significantly.
Lowe"s reported better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter earnings, driven by outdoor DIY projects and online sales, but still anticipates a year-over-year sales decline. The company raised its full-year sales guidance to between $83 billion and $83.5 billion, while projecting comparable sales to drop 3% to 3.5%. Despite these results, Lowe"s faces challenges from high interest rates affecting home improvement demand.
UBS is reportedly linked to sanctioned Chinese military firms, investing around $1 billion in Avic Xi"an and Hikvision through joint ventures with state-owned enterprises. Despite these ties, UBS asserts compliance with U.S. regulations, stating that their investments do not violate sanctions as long as U.S. persons are not involved in transactions.

CLSA favors platforms over individual companies in the consumer sector, noting that quick-service restaurants are struggling due to competition from food delivery services like Swiggy and Zomato. A recent analysis revealed intense competition in the pizza market among local chains and Domino"s in small Indian towns. In the FMCG sector, food and beverages are preferred over home and personal care, as lower gross margins in food limit new entrants, while high margins in home care allow for potential disruption by new players willing to accept lower returns.
Benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex experienced their largest surge in two months on November 19, with the Sensex rising by 833.06 points to reach 78,172.07 and the Nifty climbing 240.70 points to 23,694.50. This broad-based buying, particularly in auto and realty stocks, added Rs 5 lakh crore to investor wealth, following a seven-session decline. However, experts caution that this rebound may not indicate a full recovery, advising investors to wait for clearer market signals before making moves.
Blue Tokai, an Indian coffee chain, aims to triple its annual revenue to 10 billion rupees ($118.5 million) by 2027 before considering an IPO. The company plans to expand its presence to about 350 cafes in major cities like Hyderabad and Chennai, capitalizing on the growing coffee culture in India. Currently, Blue Tokai operates over 130 cafes and has a revenue run rate of 3.7 billion rupees this year.
India"s pharmaceutical market reached a significant milestone, with domestic sales hitting Rs 2.25 lakh crore in the year ending September 2024. Despite a moderation in growth rates, the market expanded by 8% in the September 2024 quarter, totaling Rs 60,000 crore, compared to Rs 38,200 crore in the pre-pandemic December 2019 quarter.
The government is considering lifting the suspension on futures trading for oil, oilseeds, and pulses, following pressure from the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX). While discussions are ongoing, the ban on paddy and wheat futures is expected to remain. The NCDEX is advocating for the resumption of trading, citing the need for market maturity and reduced reliance on international price signals, as India imports a significant portion of its edible oil.
