India's real estate sector is poised for a significant boost, with equity investments expected to exceed $10 billion in 2024, up from $7.4 billion last year. This surge is driven by strong leasing activity, which rose 46% in the first nine months of the year, fueled by global corporations establishing offshore operations and sustained demand from domestic businesses, particularly in IT and manufacturing.
Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) has launched its ‘Accelerate 2030’ strategy, aiming to double revenues to Rs. 1,500 crore by 2030. The plan includes an 8% CAGR in like-for-like RevPar, a 15% CAGR in management income, and a target to improve RoCE to 20%. Sharekhan maintains a Buy rating with a revised target price of Rs. 910.
Baidu reported a 3% decline in third-quarter revenue to $4.78 billion, surpassing market expectations, while net income rose 14% to $1.09 billion, driven by a 12% increase in non-online marketing revenue from its AI cloud business. The company also unveiled Xiaodu AI Glasses, set to launch in the first half of next year, positioning it as a competitor to Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses. CEO Robin Li emphasized the growing recognition of Baidu's AI capabilities, particularly with the Ernie chatbot, which now has 430 million users.
Aartech Solonics, established in 1985, specializes in custom-built electrical systems for various industries, including Renewable Energy and Defense. With a strong focus on R&D, the company has expanded its product offerings and is recommended for purchase at the current price, targeting Rs 110 within 12 to 18 months, based on a Price to Sales ratio of 8x.
Baidu Inc. experienced its largest revenue decline in over two years, with a 3% drop to 33.6 billion yuan ($4.6 billion) for the quarter ending in September, reflecting the impact of China's economic challenges on its generative AI initiatives. Net income stood at 7.6 billion yuan, while shares fell over 2% in pre-market US trading.
Axis Capital has initiated coverage on Indus Towers with an 'Add' rating and a target price of Rs 356, anticipating a 7% upside due to improved rental revenue growth from Vodafone Idea's network expansion and Bharti Airtel's 5G transition. The Supreme Court's ruling allowing telecom companies to claim Cenvat credits is expected to reduce Indus Towers' contingent liability by Rs 3,704 crore. Currently, shares are trading at Rs 332, reflecting a 63% year-to-date gain, outperforming the Nifty 50's 7% increase.
Vedanta Resources is reconsidering its plans for a dollar bond sale due to market volatility triggered by the indictment of Adani Group founder Gautam Adani. After holding investor calls to discuss the potential offering, Vedanta may delay the launch until next week if market yields stabilize. The situation reflects broader market impacts following Adani's legal troubles, which have led to a decline in his company's shares and bonds.
Quant Mutual Fund, a major investor in Adani Enterprises, faces significant losses of up to 27% on its $500 million investment following a sharp decline in the company's shares. This downturn was triggered by the US indictment of Adani's chairman, raising concerns over the firm's financial stability.
The IXth edition of Salone SRI in Milan focused on the evolving landscape of sustainable finance, emphasizing the shift from past to future sustainability. Key discussions highlighted the importance of environmental, social, and governance factors in evaluating investments, particularly in emerging markets. Giovanni Da Ros from Fideuram Asset Management noted that while investing in these markets carries emotional risks, the energy transition also presents significant opportunities for growth.
Adani Group stocks plummeted following Gautam Adani's indictment in New York for alleged bribery and fraud, leading to a significant sell-off in public sector lenders like SBI, BoB, and PNB. Analysts view this as a temporary reaction, suggesting it presents a buying opportunity due to the banks' strong fundamentals and improved asset quality. They anticipate recovery as the Adani Group provides further clarity on the situation.
