SumanSpeaks Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence · Estd 2006 Governance · Regulatory Risk Reliance Power: When Legal Clouds Gather Over Market Euphoria ₹20,367 crore attached across the Reliance Anil Ambani Group. A ₹68.2 crore fake bank guarantee at the centre of it. A former CFO in custody for ten months and counting. And a stock that's still down more than half from its 52-week high even after a sharp rally. The market is pricing the turnaround. The Enforcement Directorate is pricing the history. Both can't be right forever. Reliance Power Ltd (₹24.07) has genuinely turned a corner operationally over the past two years — debt reduction, a growing renewable and BESS order pipeline, and periods of sharp investor re-rating. That part of the story is real and deserves credit. But sitting underneath that story is a live,...

DO YOU KNOW?
According to  Knight Frank, in 2014, Delhi, Mumbai, National Capital Region (or NCR), and Bangalore accounted for 70% of the new housing supply. Residential sales have declined 30% Y/Y across seven major cities in India. 

There is a huge pile up of unsold housing inventory. Mumbai and NCR region will take between twelve and fourteen quarters to sell the existing inventory. Now twelve quarters means 3-years, isn't it?

High prices, sticky interest rates, and cautious buyer sentiment are cited to be the key reasons for poor sales. In spite of this, real estate developers have increased prices. 

Mumbai saw price hike of 10%, while the NCR witnessed a hike of 3% in 2014. High prices will keep home buyers away. The inventory pileup will put stress on the Indian banking system.

Therefore, is the real estate market in Mumbai (Bombay) heading for a CRASH? The Indian government should learn from China's housing bubble that started deflating from 2011. 

 Housing prices in China started falling as the middle class were unable to afford homes in large cities. China has also given rise to many ghost cities, where many residential apartments are unoccupied. Home prices fell in 64 cities in January, 2015, compared to 65 cities in December. 

 The housing sector contributes 15% to China's economy and is primarily responsible for the slowdown in the economy. In 2014, the Chinese economy grew at 7.4%, it slowest pace in 24 years.

WINNING STROKES: THINK DIFFERENT: Please STOP investing in companies by simply looking at their past quarterly/annual results. More quickly you do away with this BAD habit, the better it will be for your investment philosophy.
