Though for the day on Friday in the midst of profit taking the market gives a negative close, Some of the companies have reported better earnings, Hence it lifted the market up to a historic new high, As anticipated by us in our newsletter few months ago. Markets are likely to do well in times to come with a caveate that there should not be deterioration of Geo Political. The sectors likely to do well are Consumer Goods, Auto and selected stocks from Construction, Oil & Gas and Industrials. Economic policy reforms as led down by the government, will be soon implemented and its likely to increase the GDP growth rate and higher employment. Technical Technically markets from Medium to Long Term looks strong and soon likely to test new high, however small corrective action is not ruled out, market in the short term can perhaps test the levels of 9200 and in the worse case it may test 9050, On the higher side if market breaks out above the recent high of 9370 with higher volumes would see a substantial upside in the market, and 9500 9600 is quite possible, So in extreme Short Term it can remain in a range between 9200 9350. Since the undertone is bullish higher side breakout is likely to happened. We reiterate what we said earlier through our Newsletters that this is a stock specific market and Good stock peaking is going to yield good results. One should Buy stocks those are leaders, Even if it comes with some premium and One should certainly avoids the leggards. Stocks with high Debt and Poor Management should be avoided.

With the market capitalization (mcap) of Rs 198,765 crore, MSIL is Rs 1,234 crore away to join Rs 2 lakh crore m-cap club. MSIL had reported a 15.7% year on year jump in net profit for the fourth quarter (Q4FY17), to Rs 1,709 crore. Sales revenue for the fourth quarter rose 20% to Rs 18,005 crore. The company sold 414,439 vehicles in the quarter, growing 15% over the same period a year before. Growth in volumes, increase in share of the company s higher segment models, benefits due to full capacity utilization and cost reduction efforts contributed to increase in profits. This was partially offset increase in commodity prices and adverse forex movement, MSIL said in a release. Analysts at HDFC securities Institutional Research is positive on the MSIL and maintains buy rating on the stock with target price of Rs 7,070. We remain positive on the MSIL growth story on the back of strong volume growth, led by consistent volume uptick of Ciaz, Brezza and Baleno, and success of Ignis; increasing ASP, led by an expanding portfolio in the premium segment; fresh capacity addition from the Gujarat facility; uptick in rural demand and supporting macro tailwinds like 7th Pay Commission payout, falling interest rates, urbanisation and growing middle class, the brokerage firm said in results preview. Over the medium term, analyst at IIFL Wealth Management expects passenger car demand to remain strong driven by under penetration in rural areas. Maruti, with new launches and deep penetration will continue to outperform the industry. Maruti continues to churn out volumes showcasing massive resistance in an otherwise turbulence caused in the auto space owing to government led regulatory changes. We continue to hold out assumption of MSIL being one of the steady performer and truly marching towards 2 million units sales mark by FY19, according to India Nivesh Securities, which maintain buy rating on the stock with a revised target price of Rs 7,375. *source: Business Standard News: Sensex at 30,000: No PSU in top 5 cos, RIL leads rally with 40% gain As the S&P BSE Sensex breezed past the 30,000 mark on Wednesday to settle at all-time high levels, the rally from the recent December 2016 lows has been mostly led by Reliance Industries (RIL) that has gained nearly 40% during this period. Surprisingly, none of the public sector undertakings (PSUs) have made it to the top five companies by market-capitalisation (marketcap) as the benchmark index achieved this feat. ITC, HDFC, HDFC Bank and Larsen & Toubro are the other index heavyweights that pushed the benchmark in unchartered waters and form the remaining four in the most valuable by market-cap club. However, ONGC, State Bank of India (SBI) and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) do form a part of the top 10 by market-cap, data show. BSE PSU index has outperformed with a gain of 20% from market s December low, compared to 16% rally in the benchmark index during this period. The rally in the index has largely been on account of an up move in RCF (up 90%), Rural Electrification Corporation, or REC, (up 74), followed by Bank of India, Vijaya Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) and Indian Bank that gained 54 71% during this period. Though analysts expect the markets to do well going ahead, excessive government control and asset quality concerns in some are some of the factors that deter investor from investing in these companies, they say. Earlier, ONGC used to be a part of this club, but has lost out given how the crude oil prices are behaving. The other companies have overtaken given the businesses they are in. The rally in PSU banks has been good, but they are saddled with their own problems of non-performing assets. Having said that, I expect the PSU banks to outperform but it will take time as they need to address their asset quality concerns, says A K Prabhakar, head of research at IDBI Capital. As regards ONGC, I have doubts as they have invested heavily at a very high price in many assets. As a result, a spectacular growth in the near term is ruled out. Liquidity is another issue. Given that they are government-controlled enterprises, a major chunk of holding is with the State. That apart, there is excessive government control over the functioning in some, which is a deterrent for a number of investors, he adds. Traditionally, most of the PSUs have been cashrich, which has added to their value. Off late, the government has been tapping into their cash resources to boost revenue for the exchequer. Experts believe the high amount of cash PSUs gave investors through dividends and buybacks could hold back capex growth of these companies going ahead. The need to cut deficits and a lack of revenue buoyancy have pushed the government to rely more on disinvestments of / dividends from PSUs, which have increased from 4.3% of the government's net revenues in FY13 to 8.3% in FY17, reports suggest. Nearly 30% of non-bank listed PSUs have meaningfully increased pay-outs in FY17; several have already paid out large portions of their cash balances. Yet, the government hopes to make 8.8% of FY18 net revenue from its PSU holdings (up 14% y- o-y)," says Sanjay Mookim, India equity strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in a recent co-authored report with Anand Kumar. This is a tough bill to fill, but it may become ever more critical if the GST (goods and services tax) impacts core tax collections near term. The govt. may be forced to consider more radical means of extracting cash from its companies. Government creativity might produce some short-term beneficiaries (if any) but in general it would be bad for PSU balance sheet and P&L (profit & loss account). Top down, this would be a basket best avoided over the next 12 months, they add. *surce: Business Standard
