1. The World This Week
Dec 30, 2013 – Jan 03, 2014

2. Equity View:
There was a 1.6% correction in the Nifty last week esp. on the back of profit booking. In terms of major
domestic events, the earnings season is beginning in India. Infosys is expected to release its results on the
10th of this month. We are expecting IT as a whole to come up with decent numbers. We expect 3-5%
QOQ USD revenue growth for most of the Tier-I IT companies. We also expect some margin expansion on
the back of rupee depreciation that we had continued to see in the last quarter also. Considering the fact
that the macro economic recovery in the US is significant, the demand environment continues to be
robust. There are several new orders coming in therefore, we believe this trend of strong revenue dollar
growth both in US & Europe should continue for some more time. Therefore we maintain a positive
outlook in the IT space.
Indusind Bank results are also coming by the end of this week. We expect a Net Interest Income growth
of around 20-25% with a stable asset quality. We continue to like the Private sector banks esp. the Tier-I
companies. We believe that these are the companies which are being well run and have managed their
asset portfolios quite well as compared with some of the public sector peers. We believe that they will
deliver an earnings growth in excess of 15% in the coming financial year and continue to maintain a
positive stance. We expect the PSU Banks results to be muted with a stable asset quality and a single digit
earnings growth. However their valuations are extremely attractive and we continue to like PSU Banks
from valuations perspective. They are extremely cheap and have the potential to double from the current
valuations in the next two-three years.
A new development in Delhi is the announcement of electricity tariff cuts which would probably be
followed with Haryana and Maharashtra. This reiterates our negative stance on the Power utility and
generation space. If this populism spreads to other states, it would be a big negative for the power
generation, transportation and transmission companies and we would continue to be away from this
space in the foreseeable future.
