Executive Summary
Indian market has witnessed one of its worst fall during the month of September and at the start of the October seen over a decade. The Nifty, after hitting at all-time high of 11,760,
has cracked by over 1400 points whereas Sensex is down over 4500 points from its all-time high closing. We have been one of the best performing markets for 2018 outperforming all
major emerging markets but have reversed gears as deteriorating macros and volatile inflows have turned ugly. From being +10% outperformer to EM peers, Indian market is now
more or less at par with the other markets including some of the developed ones. The above events are mainly attributed to the following reasons:
Worst performance of Rupee (INR) in recent times - Indian Rupee, in tandem with equities, also happened to be the best performing currency within the emerging market
currencies till recently has been on nightmare breaching at all lows almost on daily basis. The YTD decline however is in line with emerging currencies in fact we have done better
in comparison others.
Rising Bond yields - The status-quo on policy rates by RBI against the expectation of rate hikes has supported the bond market to some extent whereas PSU banker's interest in
buying out the assets of some of the beleaguered NBFCs is also boosting confidence. On a neck-to-neck basis while comparing with US bond yields, we have outperformed after
initial underperformance till Jan 2018.
Steady GST collection - GST collections have been unable to cross the trillion mark. While there has been a steady & predictable collection every month which has provided the
government enough confidence of meeting fiscal deficit, the markets seem to be not so sanguine. Incidently GST collection for Oct-18 crossed Rs.1 trillion mark.
Rising crude prices - Crude prices are now at a 4-year high after hitting a decadal low in its initial struggle to rise. Rising demand, curtailed supply from geopolitically exposed
nations within OPEC group, US sanctions on Iran and Russia, delay in supply resumption from shale oil producers and high speculation are some of the reasons attributable to
higher prices now being seen.
Substantial FII Outflows - The rupee route has caused lots of jitters amongst FIIs which further aggravated post the RBI policy meet causing a single day USD 500 million and USD
+1 billion outflow in just four trading sessions in the first week of Oct 2018. The FIIs have been net seller in domestic equity in 7 out of last 12 months to the tune of USD 1.5 billion
while USD 4.9 billion has been the outflow of the last two months (Sept and Oct).
DIIs on other hand have been net buyers in all months of Oct17-Oct18 investing to the tune of USD 15.6 billion. We believe, given the uncertainty in global markets, threat of
breaching fiscal target and volatile global bond yields; we could continue to see outflows from FIIs.
Improving earnings - Recently concluded result (Q1FY19) season has been fairly good with overall net profit on consolidated basis for all listed company seeing a 15% YoY growth
which has been best in last four quarters. There have been strong topline growths along with 100 bps margin improvement. The higher interest rates due to rise in yields led to
some compression in bottomline. The manufacturing companies witnessed 21% YoY growth in net profit but banks and NBFCs due to high provision and write-offs were the
laggards. Q2FY19 result session so far has been very few negative surprises and there has been improvement in PSU banking numbers thanks to improved asset quality.
Despite these concerns, equity markets should continue to remain an attractive destination for wealth creation. Fewer avenues for the abundant liquidity to make double digit returns
drives it to equities eventually. The market going forward would closely track such data flows as a) rising company earnings, b) recovering credit growth, c) expanding capex, d) solution
to NPA problems, e) easing policy rates cutting through high real effective interest rates, f) mounting tax collections, g) growing infrastructure spending especially on housing, roads,
urban development etc and h) strengthening FDI flows. We expect revival in consumption demand led by steading implementation of GST as well.

Executive Summary
We are of the view that, for the next two years on a 3Yr rolling basis, we could see amongst strongest growth in Nifty earnings since 2011. Our belief on earnings growth are driven by
many tailwinds a) uptick in rural wage index, b) massive government expenditure program, c) near normal monsoon and hence favourable inflationary outlooks, d) low base effect, e)
hike in MSP to keep rural demand buoyant, f) speedy resolution of NPA problem signalling the end of the worst ever period for PSU banks and many more such boosters.
Therefore, we remain confined and susceptible to market actions dictated by stock specific developments amidst all these data tracking news flows. Hence, right stock selection
backed by strong fundamentals is the need of the hour and our Research provides just that.
We hereby bring you the Muhurat picks on occasion of Diwali 2018 alongside our performance for previous Diwali Picks.
