This report has been prepared by the Private Client Group. APRIL 2, 2019 Sanjeev Zarbade MARKET OUTLOOK FOR APRIL 2019 [email protected] +91 22 6218 6424 Market Outlook: Indian markets continued to rally in March on strong FII flows even though domestic flows have been losing traction. Indian equities had underperformed in January and February compared to other emerging markets. The Indian market’s strong performance over the past few weeks reflects (1) the market’s increased confidence about the BJP-led NDA coalition retaining power post the 2019 national elections albeit with fewer number of seats compared to its current position, (2) ‘catch-up’ in the Indian market given its under-performance to other EM markets in the first six weeks of CY2019, (3) growing confidence about the earnings of the financial sector, the primary driver of earnings of the broad market in FY2020 and (4) re- rating in multiples of beaten-down stocks, especially PSU stocks and mid- and small-cap names. Portfolio Strategy: Keeping in mind the volatility expected in 2019 led by factors such as developed market slowdown, US-China trade fears, Brexit, domestic elections, oil prices, it would be ideal to have a bottom up approach and pick & choose good quality, beaten down stocks from respective sectors. To weather the on-going volatility which may remain till middle of CY19 (i.e. till General elections), it is ideal to have higher allocation into high earnings growth large caps and midcaps (with strong management pedigree and reasonable valuations). Among the large caps one can focus on select stocks from sectors like banks, pharmaceuticals, IT services, metals & mining and oil & gas. In the mid-caps, one can focus on select stocks from sectors like capital goods, construction and auto ancillaries. Also, PSU as a space is looking good in view of the limited risk of share sale by government and attractive valuations. Valuations: Based on 13%/25% (Source: KIE) estimated growth in earnings of FY19E/20E, the Nifty is currently trading at 17.8x/15.3x FY20E/21E, respectively (free float basis). Valuation of Nifty looks reasonable when viewed against recent historical valuations of ~18-20x on forward PE basis (mainly due to high earnings growth expectation). The Sensex has rallied 7% in March, which is significant. The mid and small caps indices have also rallied 7% respectively. Given the political developments, we believe that markets may continue to trade higher though the upmove may be lower than in March. Stable inflation, rate cuts by RBI, sustained FII flows are some of the positives. On the other hand, geopolitical tensions, firming up of crude prices and US China trade issues/Brexit could be negative factors for markets. PSU stocks investment theme – In this month’s market strategy, we advocate an investment theme based on select PSU stocks. We have handpicked some of the promising PSUs based on their undervaluation and strength of business. In view of the upcoming elections, we believe that risk of share sale by government (which dampens stock price) is limited in the near term. Our selected PSU stocks offer attractive upside from the current levels. Good dividend yield is an added advantage.
