Market Mantra
The BSE is now trading at 60,516.48 up 423.51 points (+0.70%), while the Nifty was last seen at 18,007.25 up 112.40 points (+0.63%). However, this green tick in the indices belies the bigger sell off in the broader market.
#Today the shares of Zomato Ltd (Rs.50.70) broke Rs.52/53 ranges. Hence I would suggest to avoid fresh buying, unless it gives a closing above Rs.52.70. Put SL at Rs.47 on closing basis.
I'm finding some pattern in selling. I had tagged SEBI and Mr.Kirit Somaya on Twitter and asked them to look into the matter.
Ironically, the shares of Zomato Ltd is getting sold off at a time when Nationwide Lockdowns have been lifted and intense cold is preventing people from going out. In such a weather it is just a no brainer to think that people will order food through mobile, for home delivery. Moreover, 1 Million plus order on the new year day is not a joke. Even if we take a minimum of Rs.10 as the average net margin per order, the profit could be in crores.
Interestingly, the average cost of acquisition of Zomato Ltd's shares by Info Edge (India) Ltd, one of the largest shareholders of the company, according to disclosures made in the draft document, is only Rs.1.16. Hold with SL mentioned earlier.
#The stocks of SEPC Ltd (Shriram EPC Ltd) made an intraday high of Rs.14. Those who have bought the share on my recommendations has already doubled their investment values.
#The stock of Piramal Pharma Ltd (Rs.115) is available at dirt cheap price. Accumulate!
#Those who are holding Indowind Energy Ltd (Rs.15.20) are entitled for Rights Issue. There are some positive developments in the company as per my sources. You can accumulate.
#The shares of BPL Ltd (Rs.75) has again spurted today. You may book some profits and hold the rest with a SL at Rs.72.
#Accumulate the shares of TV18 Broadcast Ltd near Rs.36/37. The falling of inflation is positive for TV Channel companies.

Market Mantra
The benchmark Nifty is down 60.20 points to 17,828.45 after the FPIs went for heavy selling yesterday. However, the Nifty should hold 17,200 on the downside as there are no major negative news on the inflation front. The action should now depend on stock selection, as the days of low hanging fruits 🍓🍓🍑🍑 are probably over. Those who have experience in the market will survive, the rest are likely to burn their fingers.
Those who have a portfolio size of around Rs.2 lakhs can join my profit sharing scheme of 60:40, between you and my consultancy. The stocks will be chosen basically on fundamental basis, though technical angle can't also be overlooked.
#Accumulate the shares of Nahar Spinning Mills Ltd near Rs.281, for targets of Rs.320/350. SL: Rs.257. Drastic fall in the price of cotton is positive for the textile companies.
#The stock of Indowind Energy Ltd (Rs.15.70) hit another lower circuit today probably on the fear that the company would become insolvent.
But at present, there are no such issues, and it was just a normal hearing and settlement at a NCLAT court. The prudent investors looking to subscribe to the rights issue at Rs.12,s slowly accumulate the scrip, till the record date.
#Buy Zomato Ltd near Rs.54.20, T: Rs.61/62/67/71. SL: Rs.51.60.
It tanked heavily on Sentimental issues after one of its Co-founder & Chief Technology Officer, Gunjan Patidar recently resigned. But now the sentiment is improving & it has found a support around Rs.53.80 -- Rs.54.
#Accumulate the shares of A2Z Infra Engineering Ltd (Rs.9.70) in market declines. The company's telecom tower business is expected to pick up steam in the near future. The stock should double from the CMP.
#Accumulate the shares of Piramal Pharma Ltd (Rs.115.90) for targets above Rs.200. A number of brokerage house have given a buy on the stock.
#The scrip of D B Realty Ltd (Rs.89.20) hit the Buyer Freeze today. You should always accumulate such news driven scrips in market declines.
#Accumulate the shares of TV18 Broadcast Ltd near the CMP of Rs.36.70, for short term targets of Rs.41/45. With inflation coming down, the broadcast companies could see more advertisements spendings.

Indowind Energy Ltd: Some thoughts
Introduction: Indowind Energy Limited develops wind farms for sale, manages the wind assets, and generates Green Power for sale to utilities and corporates.
It also does turnkey implementation of Wind Power Projects, from concept to commissioning. It also undertakes Wind Asset Management Solution for installed assets, including operations, billing, collection of revenue to project customers. Supply of Green Power to Customers. It is also into CERs (Carbon Credit) Sales and Trading.
Rights Issue and other details: 1st let me start with Carbon Credits, Indian companies have registered 1,669 projects under CDM and earned 246.6 million credits; another 526 projects were registered under the ‘voluntary’ market and these have earned 89 million credits. Thus, in all, Indian companies got roughly 350 million credits.
To begin with, Indian enterprises registered 1,669 projects under the CDM and earned 246.6 million credits; another 526 projects were registered under the 'voluntary' market and received 89 million credits. Thus, Indian firms received approximately 350 million credits in total. These credits are known by different names in different jurisdictions. They are known as 'certified emission reductions,' or CERs, under the CDM.
It is subject to market price, much like stocks. At its peak, they were selling for $25 per CER. Indowind Energy Ltd (Rs.18.10), a wind energy startup based near Chennai, sold some for $15 each. Back then, experts projected that India may profit up to Rs 45,000 crore by selling the credits.
The market then dropped. A CER was valued worth 25 cents in the CDM market and a $1 in the voluntary market in the beginning of last year (2022).
Q. What are Carbon Credits or CERs and are their current prices?
A successful approach for lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is critical to the success of climate change policy. Policymakers and businesses use carbon pricing to reduce GHG emissions by putting a price on carbon.
Climate change is no longer regarded as a'soft' political issue, because of overwhelming scientific evidence, linking manmade emissions from fossil fuels, such as carbon dioxide and methane, to global warming. Since its inception in the early 1990s, carbon pricing has become an increasingly prominent method in global environmental policy for decreasing GHG emissions.
One carbon credit certifies that one metric tonne of carbon dioxide has been removed from the atmosphere.
So, if the price of CERs shoot up further the companies like Indowind Energy Ltd (Rs.18.10) will make windfall gains.
Q. Why was trading restricted in the scrip of Indowind Energy Ltd?
Ans: It is due to the delay in putting up the notice of a stay in NCLT hearing in the BSE/NSE website. According to my sources the date has been shifted to 23 January, 2023.
Hence, the investors should not get rattled by the sudden move of the stock exchanges. Thi is just a normal process and there's absolutely NO PROBLEM in the fundamentals of the company.
Infact, post successful implementation of the Rights Issue, the company will almost certainly become DEBT FREE.
Q3FY23 Results:
Indowind Energy Ltd (Rs.18.10) came out with superb December, 2022 quarter Results, when the EPS jumped to ₹0.01 vs ₹0.024 loss in 3Q 2022.
Key Financials:
💥Revenue: ₹75.7m (up 80% from 3Q 2022).
💥Net income: ₹1.43m (up from ₹2.16m loss in 3Q 2022).
💥Profit margin: 1.9% (up from net loss in 3Q 2022). The move to profitability was driven by higher revenue.
💥EPS: ₹0.01 (up from ₹0.024 loss in 3Q 2022).
Source: Simply Wall.
Conclusion: The dates of the proposed Rights Issue has not been changed. Hence, those who want to subscribe to the Right Issue of Indowind Energy Ltd (Rs.18.10) should hold the shares upto the record date mentioned by the company on the BSE website.
Fortunately, the company is moving in the right direction and the prudent investors should do well to accumulate the scrip in market dips.

Tit - bits
*D B Realty Ltd (Rs.91)* has taken the support at Rs.87/88 ranges and is moving up. We can again see the targets of Rs.131/135, as the company is selling its Andheri East land parcel at a whooping Rs.480 Cr. Also, if the media reports are to be believed then it is a takeover candidate by *Adani Group*. As per market rumour, they are likely to name it *Adani Reality*.
*A2Z Infra Engineering Ltd (Rs.10)* has tied up with Airtel for installation of telecom infrastructure in India. Accumulate!!
*RTN Power Ltd (Rs.4)* the erstwhile Indiabulls Power, an A - grade power company, is struck up in a range. It will however break out of the current levels as its fundamentals are improving constantly. It has two sprawling factories in Amravati and Nashik, the former is *profitable*, while the latter is slowly coming out of debts. *You can start to accumulate once it gives a closing above Rs.4.20.*
The *Mukhesh Ambani owned media Behemoth, *TV18 Broadcast Ltd (Rs.37)* is consolidating around the current ranges, before charting the next upmove. The fall in inflation is likely to push up advertisement revenues of the company.
-----------------------------
*Important:* When the market is not in Bull 🐂 phase, the prudent investors should accumulate, beaten down small caps to make windfall gains during the Bull run, which generally comes after every couple of years.
Moreover, the NDA Government could come up with a *Populist Budget* this year in view of the ensuring *Parliamentary elections*, next year. This may give us the required opportunity to make good gains from our investments.
Market Mantra
Yesterday, the S&P BSE Sensex, fell 304.18 points, or 0.50%, to 60,353.27, while the Nifty50 fell 50.80 points to 17,992.15 or 0.28%. Today also the Nifty is down 49.65 (0.28%). The indices are going for seasonal adjustments, post a massive Bull run --medium to long term investors need not worry.
Investors were concerned after the Dow Jones fell as the US Federal Reserve's December monetary policy meeting increased apprehensions, that the US central bank will continue to raise interest rates in the future.
Yesterday, the U.S. stocks sank after economic data showed private payrolls rose more than expected last month and weekly jobless claims fell to a three-month low, pointing to continued tightness in the labor market despite higher interest rates.
But the point is that we can't draw such staight forward conclusions, simply by looking at the US Jobs data while ignoring other economic matrices, like job cuts, contraction in the US economy (Two consecutive quarters of negative growth mark a “technical recession.”), etc. Hence, it will be too much exaggerated to think that the US Fed will go on, with its interest hiking spree in the near future.
Meanwhile, though the Joe Biden administration has argued that the American economy is not in a recession, based on a still strong labor market, but the underlying structural shifts doesn't warrant further rate hikes, because such monetary measures do act with a time lag of 4-6 months. Thus my conclusion is that either the US Fed has done away with interest rate hikes or there could be just 100 bps left, for the final call.
Given this scenario and considering the current state of Indian economy, I would suggest you to slowly pick up stocks which has a story to tell.
#Buy the shares of A2Z Infra Engineering Ltd (Rs.9.90) for short term targets of Rs.17/19.
💥Major portion of Company's business, except the Municipal Solid Waste segment, depends on demand from sectors that are directly linked with the macro environment and broader economic sentiments. For e.g., the Engineering Services segment would see more demand if the Gross Capital Formation or capital investments improve in the economy.
💥The Company's performance in the FY2021-22 was a mixed bag. While the operating revenues declined on a YOY-basis by 14.8%, but continuous de-focus from the low Margin EPC business has given an improved revenue mix in favour of our profit-making businesses.
💥The combined share of Facility Management Services and Municipal Solid Waste business increased from 55% in FY2020-21 to 61% in the financial year FY22.
💥The Company was also successful in managing its direct raw material and employee costs in line with the revenue despite high inflation. During FY22, the Company's cost of financing was also reduced to less than half of the FY2020-21 level.
💥 Interestingly, the company was able to enter into one time settlement with three banks during FY22 to reduce its outstanding debt.
💥At the operating level, one the key development during the year 2022 was sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Chavan Rishi International Limited.
💥The Company also won two major mandates in the Facility Management Services space with a term of 3-years each.
💥In the Engineering Services and Power Genera on Projects business, the Company con nues to face challenges.

(an Airtel group company) for work to be carried out on continuing basis at various circles including obtaining permission from applicable authority for HDD/Open Trench/ Moiling/First level restoration/Duct Pulling up to 4 number/ DIT/All Fiber Blowing & Pulling/Splicing/Manhole and Hand hole Supply and installation/ODF and OTB installation/AT Testing and sign off/Handover to O&M Team and such other work as may be specified/required from time to time.
Waste to Energy- Power Generation Projects (PGP)
The Company collaborated with sugar mills for setting up three power plants on Built, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis for a period of 15 years in the state of Punjab and to ensure continuous supply of Refuse derived Fuel (RDF) to the said Power Plants, Company developed an indigenous waste processing plant for running the said Plants on Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) from Municipal Solid Waste.
Non- supply of bagasse by the Co-operative Sugar Mills, various implied delays in approvals and execution of agreements including delay in handing over of land, and there are disputes between the concerned parties with ongoing arbitration proceedings, the execution of Project by the Company has become unviable despite its best bona fide and consistent efforts.
In the light of Section 12(5) read with schedule VII of the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015 and various judicial pronouncements in this regard, the Addl. Registrar of the Co-operative Society, Punjab, appointed by the Co-operative Sugar Mills as the Sole Arbitrator was ineligible to be appointed as an arbitrator in the concerned arbitration proceedings as the dispute arising under the MoUs were to be referred to Arbitrator, who should have been the Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Punjab. The said award passed by Additional Registrar has been challenged by the Company under Section 34 of the Act before the Hon’ble District Judge, Chandigarh. Moreover, A2Z Infra had filed petitions under Section 11 and 14 of the Act before the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana and Hon’ble District Court, Chandigarh, respectively, for appointment of an independent arbitrator and termination of mandate of the existing arbitrator, being illegal and arbitrary appointment, in the instant arbitration proceedings initiated by the Cooperative Sugar Mills and the said petitions are still pending before the respective Courts.
Due to these disputes with sugar mills in respect of cogeneration power plants, the sugar mills have terminated the agreement signed between the parties during the pendency of arbitration before the Additional Registrar; validity of termination is a matter of dispute to be dealt by the arbitrator while deciding the disputes between the parties. Henceforth, at present all the three power plants are non-operational.
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has distressed the execution of the projects at various sites. Due to the onset of the COVID- 19 pandemic since March 2020, there is an inherent risk to health and safety of the employees and workers, and risk of disruption in production due to lockdown. Impact of COVID- 19 in the last two years, results in delay of significantly accelerate execution of the projects. It has resulted into the distressed Cash flows/Financials results for the Year ended March 31, 2022 as well.
But with the removal of nation wide lockdowns, the fundamentals of the company are expected to move up exponentially in the coming months.
Accumulate!!

Market Mantra
#Buy the shares of Mukhesh Ambani Company, TV18 Broadcast Ltd near the CMP of Rs.37.20, for short term targets of Rs.41/42, SL: Rs.35.
Triggers:
Analysts believe that amendments to the new tariff order (NTO 2.0), combined with industry consolidation, will keep broadcasting stocks buoyant in the short term.
Furthermore, as raw material costs decline for the majority of business enterprises in the second half of the current fiscal year (H2FY23), it is expected that advertising spending will increase in the following quarters.

Piramal Pharma Solutions Ltd (Rs.16.65): Highly Undervalued?
In August last year, the National Company Law Tribunal approved the demerger of Piramal Enterprises' (PEL) pharma business and the simplification of the company's corporate structure. The order paved the way towards creation of two separate listed entities Piramal Enterprises Ltd (NBFC) and Piramal Pharma Ltd (PPL).
It is to be noted that the demerger plan of Piramal Enterprises was approved by the company’s board a year ago after PE biggie Carlyle Group invested about $540 million for a 20% equity stake in Piramal Pharma in 2020.
Now, let do some simple arithmetic,
$540 million = Rs.4428 Cr.
This much amount was paid for 20% stake in Piramal Pharma Solutions Ltd (Rs.16.65) by PE biggie Carlyle Group in 2020.
Which means the approximate valuation of Piramal Pharma Ltd = Rs.22,140 Cr in 2020 or 3 - years back.
Ironically, this is against the current market cap of Rs.13,681 Cr.
==================
However, as mentioned above this the valuation of Piramal Pharma Ltd (Rs.116.65), around 3 - years back.
Now add Inflation to that, which means the current valuation of Piramal Pharma Ltd should be around Rs.24,000 - 25,000 Cr.
This is against the market cap of ONLY Rs.13,681 Cr.
What did you observe? What is your opinion?
===================
By the way, I feel Motilal Oswal Securities Ltd's valuation of Rs.210 for Piramal Pharma Ltd (Rs.116.65) was based on this price discovery mechanism.
What do you say?

Winning Strokes
The Indian stock indices tanked ferociously on the last two days of Trading on renewed fears of the rise in Covid-19 cases,C in China and elsewhere. On last Friday, the BSE Sensex closed at 59,845.29 down 980.93 points (-1.61%), while the Nifty ended the day at17,806.80 down by a massive 320.55 points (-1.77%). However, the Covid-19 fears were too much exaggerated and the selling basically came from the panic stricken retail investors, since DIIs were net buyers to the tune of Rs.3398.98 Cr, while FIIs net sold Rs.706.84 Cr. This week we are expected to resume, 2nd phase of the much anticipated rally which fizzled out last week. The Indian media channels should be careful before showing events on sensitive issues. Their irresponsible behaviour in the last week caused immense pain to the retail investors.
However, the things are not that gloomy as was projected by the media channels last week. We're probably at the last phase of US rate hike cycle.
This month, the Federal Reserve approved a half-point interest rate increase, a lesser increase than in prior months and an acknowledgement that inflation is finally reducing. The increase represents a reversal for the US central bank, after an unprecedented year that included seven consecutive rate hikes as part of an aggressive push to try to cool down the inflation.
Policymakers also predicted that PCE inflation, the Fed's preferred price index, would remain above 2% until at least 2025. Further predictions showed that expectations for the health of the US economy were deteriorating, with Fed members now forecasting that unemployment will rise to 4.6% by the end of 2023 and remain there through 2024. This is 0.2 percentage point higher than the 4.4% rate predicted in September and much higher than the current 3.7% rate. points higher than the 4.4% rate they were expecting in September and significantly higher than the current 3.7% rate. This again shows that we're perhaps done away or near the last phase of the aggressive rate hikes by the US Fed.
#The Sensex is expected to gap up today by at least 300 points. I'm expecting a rise of 700+ points today, as the day progressed, after the Sensex nosedived due to an artificial selling coming primarily from the scared retail investors.
#Buy the Stock of Piramal Pharma Ltd (Rs.114.55), as the company is now also into Vaccination space. According to the media reports, Piramal Pharma Limited (PPL) made an investment or Rs.101.77 Cr in Yapan Bio Pvt Ltd ("Yapan") of Hyderabad, India, augmenting the capabilities of its Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) business, Piramal Pharma Solutions (PPS). PPL holds 27.78% equity stake in the company as a result of this investment. Yapan Bio provides process development, scale-up, and cGMP compliant manufacturing of vaccines and biologics/bio-therapeutics, including high containment product classes (up to BSL-2+), recombinant vaccines, RNA/DNA vaccines, gene therapies, monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic proteins, and other complex biologics.
Arvind Sharma, Partner at Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co who tracks the pharmaceutical sector says: “Several new products are lined up for approvals, and the pharma sector is securing benefits including on account of digitisation, use of AI and increased R&D. All of this, and recent changes in the global economic and political situation, should enable continuity of excellent performance in the Indian pharma sector, and we have a positive outlook for growth in the next year as well".
Piramal Pharma Ltd is currently a big public corporation in the pharmaceutical sector, following its demerger from the parent company, Piramal Enterprises. Piramal Group has rebuilt its pharma business after selling its domestic formulations business to Abbott in 2010 (which accounted for about 55% of FY10 sales of Rs.3,670 crore). The billion-dollar revenue mark is already within striking approach.
Interestingly, while the pharma and healthcare sectors have had mixed successes in the recent past, the industry appears to be on the right track in terms of development and growth. Buy the share of Piramal Pharma, with a target price of Rs.210/221.
#D B Realty Ltd (Rs.87.30) is another firm to keep an eye on. On September 16, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Esteem Properties, agreed into a non-binding term sheet for the sale of its land adjacent to the ITC Grand Maratha Hotel in Andheri East for Rs.480 crore. The good news can come at anytime, since the deadline was three months from the date of declaration.
The firm's portfolio includes over 100 million square feet and 628 acres of prime property, mostly in Mumbai. In addition, the company has collaborated on several projects with Adani Goodhomes. It's also a takeover candidate of the Adani Group, owned by Gautam Adani, the Asia's Richest Man.
The real estate firm has a portfolio comprising over 100 million square feet and 628 acres of prime property, mostly in Mumbai. Also, the company has tied up with Adani Goodhomes on various projects.
Promoters, including Vinod Goenka family, Balwa family and a few others, have close to 69% stake in the Mumbai-based DB Realty.
Once the news of land sale comes, the stock will atleast double from the CMP.
#Buy the stock of Tata Steel Ltd (Rs.102.25), as the current NSA government is excepted to take more measures to boost the steel sector.
In 2022, the centre took various measures to support the steel sector by removing the export duty on steel items and extending export benefits under the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme to products of iron and steel for a specified period. These measures will help the domestic steel industry increase its share in the global market. But for a price target of Rs.131/135.
However, this government always works at a lag and has a pathetic economic policy. The choice of Niramala Sitaraman, instead of Dr.Subramanium Swami or Piyush Goyel, was also not correct. Though Niramala Sitaraman is a very hard working lady, but she still is a new comer in the FMO and that shows up in her speeches. But her appointment to the post of FH fits the bill for Narendra Modi who wants mediocrity in his ministry; so that the ministers don't become a challenge to his chair -- which he has clung so tightly since his occupancy of the Delhi chair. Narendra Modi is a misfit from the day he took over. It is time that he relinquished the chair of the PM before the public pulls him down in 2024.
By the way, in October, India became a net importer from being a net exporter earlier -- this is what Narendra Modi government's policies are all about.
#The stocks like Zomato Ltd (Rs.53.65) and RTN Ltd (Rs.3.90) may show sharp rebound today, following of the recession of Covid-19 pandemic fear. Both the companies are of high pedigree and only thing you need to do, to earn handsome returns over a period, is to hold on to the scrips.
#The stock of FCS Software Solutions Ltd (Rs.2.50) should be accumulated in market dips, after the company reported consolidated net profit of Rs.0.53 crore in Q2 FY23 as against net loss of Rs.0.02 crore in Q2 FY22.
On a consolidated basis, net sales rose 12.58% to Rs.9.13 in Q2 FY23 over Q2 FY22. Revenue from India business stood at Rs.4.19 crore (up 9.11% YoY) and revenue from US business were at Rs.4.94 crore (up 15.69% YoY).
Profit before tax (PBT) stood at Rs.0.73 crore in Q2 FY23, higher than PBT of Rs.0.05 crore in Q2 FY22. This is a turnaround story.
#The stock of Wockhardt Ltd (Rs.223.40) and BPL Ltd (Rs.58.70) can also be accumulated in market dips, for targets of Rs.241/245 and Rs.71/76/84 respectively.

Parsvnath Developers Ltd: Buy
CMP: Rs.7.35
With a pan-India presence in over 13 states and 37 cities, Parsvnath Developers Ltd is growing steadily, building dreamscapes - be it beautiful residential spaces, state-of-the-art commercial complexes, budget housing, luxurious shopping malls and hypermarkets, etc.
Meanwhile, Parsvnath Realcon (PRPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parsvnath Developers, had started construction of its project Parsvnath Paramount situated at Subhash Nagar, New Delhi last year and it plans to complete the project within FY23.
Parsvnath Paramount consists of five towers including one separate Tower of EWS, having total 87 residential units in four towers and 45 units in EWS Tower.
The company now owns 100% stake in its subsidiary Parsvnath Estate Developers, which is developing this office building project.

Market Mantra
Meanwhile, in China protests are being held to lift lockdown. In India, the chances of fresh lockdown due to Covid-19, is almost nil. Hence, I'm expecting a broad based rally in the domestic stock markets.
Now, while the domestic indices are likely to consolidate at the current levels, the action will be seen in the broader market. In view of this, I have today recommended some momentum counters, as mentioned below:
💥Buy Websol Energy Systems Ltd (Rs.94.65) near the CMP for short term target of Rs.117.
Websol Energy System is a Kolkata-based manufacturer of solar cells and modules. Last year the company commissioned its dormant 250 MW module manufacturing line. The company is restructuring its existing 250 MW solar cell capacity towards higher cell sizes and looking to commission additional solar cell capacity.
💥Buy Visa Steel Ltd (Rs.16.20) for short term target of Rs.21.
💥AU Small Finance Ltd (Rs.642) has broken a major resistance on the upside. Next target: Rs.717.
💥Unless Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (Rs.51.40) gives a closing above Rs.52, kindly don't take fresh position.
💥Those who are having cash in your account kindly try to average the shares of RTN Power Ltd (Rs.4.25) to bring down your acquisition Price.
💥Buy Vakranjee Ltd at Rs.30.55, T: Rs.37/39, SL: Rs.27.
💥Buy Aban Offshore Ltd at Rs.49, T: Rs.72, SL: Rs.47. When the crude is trading near $100 per barrel, it is obvious that the stocks of oil exploration companies will do well in the present situation.
💥 Continue to accumulate the shares of late Rakesh Jhunjhunwala favourite, D B Realty Ltd (Rs.98.25), as it is likely to be taken over by a big business house, as per market speculation.
The company came out with excellent set of numbers for the September, 2022 quarter.
The net profit of D B Realty came at a whopping Rs.568.67 crore in the quarter ended September 2022 as against net loss of Rs.352.50 crore during the previous quarter ended September 2021. Sales rose 15.45% to Rs.10.16 crore in the quarter ended September 2022 as against Rs 8.80 crore during the previous quarter ended September 2021.
💥Those who are holding the shares of Dilip Buildcon Ltd (Rs.233.85) can continue to do the same, adding on market declines.
💥The stock of Nahar Spinning Mills Ltd (Rs.284.50) is doing well today. With the cotton prices falling across-the-board, and the government of India coming up with 2nd PLI scheme, the textile stocks should be doing well in future

Earlier there were media reports that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Esteem Properties, had entered into a non-binding term sheet on September 16 for the sale of its land, adjoining to ITC Grand Maratha Hotel, Andheri East, Mumbai at a consideration of Rs 480 crore.
Moreover, true or false -- the name of Sharad Pawar, has always been associated with this company.

The Indian markets are down following global cues: US Fed's Hawkish stance on interest rate, Russia Ukraine War and fresh cases of coronavirus in China.
The BSE Sensex is now trading at 61,095.16 down 568.32 points (-0.92%) while the Nifty was last seen at 18,141.85 down 165.80 points (-0.91%). The main indices comprising of mostly large caps, may correct 16,000 as mentioned by Sushil Kedia, the other day, but that has nothing much to eo with the movement of small and mid cap counters, albeit some rub off effect though.
The traders should understand that small and mid cap is one basket, while large cap is another basket. Therefore, though linking the two is erroneous but it often happens in the real life. Photo: Angel One.
The small and mid cap rally is about to begin and hence you need to keep your guns ready for the final shooting.
Buy the shares of the companies obtained from distress selling from the traders tormented by margin pressures from brokerage houses. You need to buy and keep holding. Is the work too difficult?
#Today my recommended Swan Energy Ltd made a high of Rs.261. Its 2nd targets has also been achieved.
#Today the shares of Dilip Buildcon Ltd (Rs.122) made an intraday high of Rs.230.70. The company came out with good quarterly numbers. Going forward the margins are likely to improve due to lesser number of Legacy orders. Accumulate.
#Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (Rs.47.85) will make windfall gains on the coffee beans sold, as the price was fixed when the coffee prices were touching new highs, in the international markets. Accumulate!!
#Most of my recommended counters came up with good September, 2022 quarter results, but surprisingly Zee Business only finds Banks (UCO Bank and Central Bank -- both doing well) in the list. As a result the money is flowing into banking counters only, instead of uniformly traveling into various outperforming sectors.
This market looks to be fully manipulated -- operators move a stock and TV Channels recommend them (because they look good on chart...😂😂) to the gullible investors. This either elevates a stock or makes it fall. Very sly operator game is going on in the Indian bourses.

Meanwhile, Tata Consumer Products had withdrawn a proposal to purchase the vending machine business from Coffee Day Enterprises, about two years after the firm had started talks and begun evaluating a potential acquisition.

This happened because of the turnaround of the company during the last one year.
Accumulate the shares of Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (CCDL) near the CMP of Rs.48.80 for short term targets of Rs.57/61/72/85.

The ongoing festival season is likely to lift the fundamentals of this consumer dirable company.

Winning Strokes
The BSE Sensex closed at 61,795.04 up a massive 1,181.34 points (+1.95%) while the Nifty50 ended the day at 18,349.70 up by a whopping 321.50 points (+1.78%).
In a significant positive development, foreign investors (FIIs/FPIs) have invested nearly Rs.19,000 crore in Indian equities so far this month, owing primarily to a slowing trend in US inflation and a weakening dollar.
On Monday, the markets are likely to consolidate around the current ranges. The future direction of the market will come from global cues and also from the current earning session.
However, since November Effect has kicked in, the investors should do well to buy momentum counters from the small, mid and micro cap space. I am bullish on Oil & Gas, Construction, Textile, Renewable Energy and Restaurant sectors.
#Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (Rs.52.75) came up with good September quarter results.
Net profit of Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd came at Rs.5.67 crore in the quarter ended September 2022 as against net loss of Rs.84.85 crore during 66 move towards my targets of Rs.84/91. The restaurant sector has been doing well since lifting of Nation Wide Lockdown. Accumulate in dips.
#Aban Offshore Ltd (Rs.49.60), India's largest oil exploration company in the Private Sector, came up with good September quarter numbers.
Quarterly Net Loss of Aban Offshore Ltd came at Rs. 207.53 crore in September 2022 down 16.34% from Rs. 248.07 crore in September 2021.
This means the cost overrun or margin shrinkage through legacy orders has substantially come down in Q3FY23.
However, Net Sales were at Rs.94.88 crore in September 2022 down 32.37% from Rs.140.28 crore in September 2021.
The buoyancy in the crude oil prices and lowering of the number of low value legacy orders will take the scrip to Rs.71/72. Remain Invested.
#I have recommended the share of the Tata Group Company, Tata Teleservices Ltd (Rs.100.30) on last Friday at around the CMP for long term targets of above Rs.250.
According to a Business Standard report, the Tata Group Company, Tata Teleservices Ltd (Rs.100.30), is restructuring its telecom business, which is spread across various companies, by making additional investments in Tata Teleservices and exploring opportunities in 5G-based segments by providing back-end services.
It is pertinent to mention here thar in June, 2022, the NDA government at the centre allowed enterprises to set up captive non - public networks to buy 5G spectrum directly from the DoT, in order to establish their isolated networks.
Meanwhile, while Tata Teleservices continues to focus on enterprise businesses, the group has brought in Tata Communications to provide 5G-based services such as automated equipment quality inspection, inventory management, and asset tracking. Although the group sees 5G as a significant opportunity, it has refrained from purchasing the more expensive 5G spectrum. However, to stay in the game, it will most likely focus, on value-added services.
#Dilip Buildcon Ltd's (Rs.224.45) debt is nothing as compared to Tata Steel. At the end of the June quarter Tata Steel had a gross debt of ₹82,597 crore and net debt of ₹54,504 crore. As of March, 2022, the total debt of Dilip Buildcon (Rs.224) was Rs.8,783 Cr. While Reserves & Surplus was at Rs.4189.92 Cr.
The company has an order book of Rs.25,000 - plus crores. It is a blue chip company from the construction space and is rumoured to have some connections (invisible hand) with the current Madhya Pradesh government.
The HDFC Securities has already provided a target of Rs.369 for the scrip. However, I feel it will slowly move towards Rs.500 - plus, as the cost overruns or margin shrinkage from legacy projects comes down from this quarter. Accumulate!!
#Accumulate the shares of Orient Green Power Company Ltd (Rs.8.60) and RTN Power Ltd (Rs.4.20) because of the commencement of November Effect.
