SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence · Estd 2006 Technology & Strategy · Global Data AI Isn't Replacing Businesses—It's Redefining Competitive Advantage Two years ago, the AI debate revolved around whether companies should adopt artificial intelligence. That debate is over. Today the question is no longer who uses AI, but who is actually building lasting competitive advantage from it. According to the latest global data, the answer is surprisingly few. Start with the headline gap: 88% of companies now use AI in at least one business function. Just 6% are turning that usage into a measurable, meaningful impact on their bottom line.

Today's call
1. Buy NBCC Ltd at Rs.284, Rs.298, SL: Rs.277. NBCC Ltd, a Navratna Company has fixed February 21, 2017 as the record date for 1:2 bonus issue of shares. Exit at Rs.284 or near that price, for intra day traders. The stock is not preforming, as expected.

According to the explanatory memorandum to the Finance Bill, the income tax (I-T) department has been treating the income earned on transfer of carbon credits as business income subject to tax at the rate of 30%. 


Now Direct taxes code had recommended that income from sale of carbon credits be treated as business income. Therefore, the tax levy of 10% may be considered to be beneficial, for companies like Reliance Power Ltd (Rs.43.60).
