SumanSpeaks Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence · Estd 200 6 Turnaround Watch · EPC SEPC Ltd (₹6.54): From Stressed Asset to Strategic Platform Debt down from a peak of ₹907 crore to ₹351 crore. Two SAIL orders worth ₹1,527.89 crore landed inside eight weeks. A Dubai-headquartered promoter that bailed the company out of an RBI stressed-asset restructuring is now backing an ADNOC-linked entry into the Middle East. This is what a real turnaround looks like when you actually read the balance sheet instead of the ticker. 1 The Arc: From a ₹300 IPO to a Stressed Asset to a Rescue SEPC Ltd listed in February 2008 as Shriram EPC, priced at ₹300 a share, raising ₹150 crore under the Shriram Group — one of India's most recognised financial-services names, then led by T Shivaraman...

  Crude Oil Check Generally, the  crude oil price tends to hold up for few weeks, before giving a pronounced break out in either direction. In the current scenario, the crude oil price is breaking one levels after another, since the war drums in Europe sounded. Taking cues from this, we can say that crude prices may hover between $106 - $113, for sometime, before giving a decisive breakout on the upside. Photo : Macrotrends.com. The war Between Ukraine - Russia will go on for atleast a few months, with sanctions crippling the 2nd biggest producer of crude oil.  I feel it is pertinent to mention here that generally speaking, after - effects of sanctions generally come with a couple of months phase gap. Which means the crude oil may start to march aggressively ahead towards north, from May 2022 end. I'm expecting the crude oil to touch at $130 a barrel in the near future, breaking which it may try to access $137/139 range. Hence, take your position in crude oil related (dri...

  Crude Oil Price Crude oil prices began the week lower as a result of the start of a lockdown in Shanghai due to a high number of Covid infections, rekindling concerns about a loss of oil demand in the world's largest importer. But this view is over exaggerated, as Covid - 19 vaccination will prevent a 2020/2021 like situation. Hence, I don't foresee a large fall in demand for crude oil, especially as the oil guzzling counties like India has started to see a demand spike.  Above is the three months chart of Crude Oil (WTI) price from  Investing.com. Meanwhile, in a rather volatile trading session on Tuesday, crude oil prices rebounded and rose, despite the fact that Ukraine and Russia were heading for peace talks, and demand concerns remained as China shut down its financial hub in Shanghai to stem a surge in coronavirus cases. While the benchmark Brent crude oil price fell early on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session, it recovered and was last up nearly ...
  Tit - bits 🌟After a two-year hiatus, Indian skies have reopened to scheduled international flights. The start of scheduled international passenger flights signals the end of air transport bubbles, which came into fore in mid-2020. The resumption of international flights will provide more travel options for passengers, which will likely translate into increased revenue opportunities for airline companies who at the moment, are grappling with high fuel prices. The travel industry, which was severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, is expected to see a rapid recovery in demand. Stocks in focus: Positive effect could be seen in the stock prices of: Indigo (Rs.1,938.20), Spice Jet (Rs.56.90) and Jet Airways (Rs.86.75).  Rub off effect: Global Vectra Helicorp Ltd (Rs.48.55). 🌟The high crude oil prices could increase investments in exploration of crude oil, which in turn will move up per day rates of oil rig maintenance and seismic survey companies. Stocks in focus : Aban Off...

Photo : DailyFx Back home, according to a report published in The Hindu on 24 March: "In the COVID-19 year of 2020-21, both real GDP and GVA contracted by minus 6.6% and minus 4.8%, respectively. The NSO’s SAE show that real GDP and GVA growth are estimated to recover to 8.9% and 8.3%, respectively, in 2021-22. Despite this improvement, the magnitude of real GDP at ₹147.7 lakh crore in 2021-22 is only marginally higher than the corresponding level of ₹145.2 lakh crore in 2019-20. The NSO’s GDP data highlights that in 2021-22, the nominal GDP growth at 19.4% is significantly higher than the real GDP growth due to an inordinately high implicit price deflator (IPD)-based inflation rate of 9.6%. Monetary policy authorities need to take note of this. However, the growth of consumption and investment dema...

  Future Retail Vs Amazon: My Take: We are all aware of the fact that Future Retail Limited is embroiled in a legal battle with US retailer Amazon over the sale of assets to Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Retail for Rs.24,713 crore. Photo : Quint Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard Amazon's challenge to the Delhi High Court's order staying further arbitration proceedings with the Future Group before the Singapore Arbitration Tribunal. During yesterday's (Supreme) Court proceedings, Future Retail's counsel informed the bench that his client is bankrupt and that Amazon has brought the company to its knees.  Meanwhile, Amazon's counsel stated that talks between the parties to resolve legal disputes had failed, and that Reliance is taking over Future's stores. Surprisingly, Harish Salve, the counsel for the Future Group, added, "Not a single store has been surrendered, and Reliance has taken away the lease." Interestingly, both parties' counsel agreed to ...

The BSE Sensex was up by 828.39 points (+1.52%) to 55,475.72, while Nifty was seen trading at 16,592.80 up 247.45 points (+1.51%). With minimum negative news coming from the Ukraine - Russia border issues, we can expect some more upward movement in the indices. # Today's call: Buy the shares of SAIL near Rs.98, for short term targets of Rs.127/131.  The new plant of SAIL at Rourkela, Odisha is generating good demands for its products as it uses the latest technology to manufacture (flat products, coils, etc).

  Winning Strokes Yesterday, the domestic bourses closed in the red following the Ukraine - Russia border tussle. The BSE Sensex closed at 57,683.59 down 149.38 points (-0.26%), while the Nifty ended the day almost flat at 17,206.65 down 69.65 points (-0.40%). However, the selling was more pronounced in the small and mid cap segments, due to the IMAGINARY FEAR of escalation of the crisis. Interestingly, this kind of border skirmishes are regular in India (with Pakistan) in the north western and western side of Indian border. Kashmir Issue continues to drain India's resources, but we see no impact on the world economy. But surprisingly, this issue between Ukraine & Russia is getting blown out of proportion, due to highhandedness of the media. The world media should behave responsibly, so that peace returns smoothly. It is pertinent to mention that Ukraine is a very small country, with its GDP size [ 184.92 billion (nominal, 2022 est.) ] of less than that of Uttar Pradesh [...

The Nifty as expected took support at 17250 level. If 17200/17250 range holds then we could see a sharp reversal in the coming days. Keep accumulating those stocks which have a story to tell. #Buy the scrip of HOV Services Ltd near Rs.50/51, SL: Rs.47 (Strict on closing basis), T: Rs.61/63/72. This is a high Beta stock, which means it rises more when the Indices rises. #The stock of Bombay Rayon and Fashions Ltd (Rs.7.40) is available at an attractive valuation, for long term prospects.

I'm happy to see the markets react positively to my comments. #Since the tensions around the Russia - Ukraine border has eased a bit, so we can expect the price of Crude Oil to tape off in the coming days. Hence, you can take fresh positions in Global Vectra Helicorp Ltd (Rs.53.70), for targets of Rs.120/180.  The the newly formed Helicopter policy is likely to benefit the company. #In a development, today I spoke with my sources in Shriram EPC Ltd in Chennai (Rs.8.65)  and I must say, the scenario (or the news) is very good.

The Nifty is likely to get strong supports around 16700/16900 ranges, hence is not likely to break in this corrective phase. Meanwhile, the yields on U.S. government bonds fell sharply to begin the week on Monday, as global equities nosedived, but quickly recovered. Investors are anticipating the Fed policymakers' two-day meeting, which begins on Tuesday and concludes on Wednesday. This meeting is widely expected to lay the groundwork for a shift away from easy money stance, this year, without taking any policy action. The rising global tensions and increased volatility in domestic and international stock markets are likely to continue to anchor the Bond yields lower. In another significant developments,  the economic reports released on Monday, showed that the U.S. economy slowed in January as the  pandemic's (COVID-19) Omicr...

However, correction is seen in the mid and small caps, especially those hitting continuous UCs. In this circumstances, I would suggest you to book continuous profits as the indices are near all time highs.  Also, slowly get out of the junk (momentum) counters and now enter only fundamentally strong scrips. Today, I'm having mild fever and hence, I wouldn't make this write up too long. #Exit out of the shares of Wockhardt Ltd (Rs.420) , with minimum loss. #Accumulate UCO Bank Ltd (Rs.13.35) , for targets mentioned earlier.
