GDP growth slows to three-year low of 5.7% in Q1 hit by note ban, GST disruption

The Indian economy grew 5.7 percent in April-June, sharply lower than last year’s 7.9 percent expansion in the same quarter as also the previous quarter’s 6.1 percent growth, signs that the country was still reeling under the shock of demonetization and disruption caused ahead of GST’s roll out.

Data released on Thursday by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) showed that India’s “real” or inflation-adjusted GDP grew at the slowest pace in 13 quarters and is still a long way off from returning to 8 percent growth path, last seen in 2015-16.

It is also the lowest growth since the Narendra Modi-led NDA government came to power in 2014.

India now lags China in the global growth rankings by a fair margin. China, which grew at 6.9 percent in the last two quarters, has bounced back as the world’s fastest growing major economy since January, regaining the status from India after two years.

Importantly, the CSO estimates shows that gross value added (GVA) grew 5.6 percent in April-June lower than the last year’s 7.6 percent growth during the same quarter.

The latest growth numbers is a throwback to 2013-14, when India slid to a decade low sub-5 percent growth, buffeted by a string of corruption scandals at home and uncertain external economic environment.

Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys still at an attractive valuation

We had initiated coverage on IMFA (Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys) sometime ago and the stock continues to impress us post its quarterly earnings report. The company reported a turnaround performance with a net profit of Rs 100 crore in Q1 of FY18 as against a loss of Rs 30 crore in the year ago period which was impacted due to production disruption and lower realization.

The performance for the quarter gone by was largely driven by recovery in chrome prices. Despite a 6 percent drop in sales volumes to 48,500 tonnes, the company saw 69 percent year-on-year growth in revenues as sales realizations stood at close to Rs 87,000 per tonne as against Rs 51,600 a tonne in Q1 of FY17.

The benefits of operating leverage also kicked in and, consequently, costs actually declined by 2 percent to Rs 247 crore. This translated to higher profitability. The company also saw 328 percent increase in other income thanks to the increasing cash in the books.

We estimate cash to reach around Rs 660 crore (currently about Rs 300 crore) or about 40 percent of its current market capitalization by the end of FY18. Our estimates suggest that the company should be reporting an annual net profit of close to Rs 290 crore in the current financial year. At the current market price of Rs 465, the stock is still attractively valued at about 4 times its FY18 estimated earnings. The attractive valuation is in addition to other fundamental strengths like high margin and return ratios and a strong balance sheet.

Lakshmi Vilas Bank looks to raise funds

Private sector lender Lakshmi Vilas BankBSE -0.45 % is looking to raise fresh equity capital as much as Rs 1,000 crore by September but the volatile market may play a party pooper. 

The Chennai-based bank is in talks with institutional investors as it is growing its loan book at 15% rate. The bank managing director Parthasarathi Mukherjee said the bank needs capital to keep the growth momentum. 

International investors such as Morgan Stanley Investment Managers and ChrysCapital have recently had a meeting with the bank’s top management. Local investors like Aviva Life Insurance Company, ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, Kotak Mutual Fund and HDFC Mutual Fund have also met Mukherjee and executive director N Venkatesh, the bank informed the stock exchanges in two separate filings on August 11 and August 3. 

The volatile market has however kept the bank management guessing with the bank stock price falling about 13% in a month to Rs 178 on BSE, upsetting the pricing of the proposed qualified institutional placement (QIP). 

According to Securities & Exchange Board of India rule, the pricing of the equity shares for qualified institutional placement is being arrived at by taking the average of weekly highs and weekly lows of the closing prices for six months or during the fortnight preceding the relevant date, whichever is higher. 

“The bank is well capitalised but the rise in gross NPAs (to 3.78% as on June from 2.67% a quarter back) in the first quarter is a concern and the bank may need more capital to cover it in the future. More capital may also be needed since it is chasing an aggressive retail and SME growth plan with opening of more branches,” said Sanjeev Jain, associate vice president at Ashika Stock Broking. 

Earlier in January, the bank raised Rs 167 crore in a share-sell to institutional buyers at Rs 140 per equity share of face value Rs 10. 

The bank said its gross advances grew 15% Rs 23,236 crore as on June 30, from Rs 20,182.72 crore a year earlier. Its total business rose 14% to Rs 52,712 crore. It has reported 9% rise in net profit at Rs 66 crore for the first quarter.

RBI allows overseas investors to bet more on Interest futures market

The RBI has created a separate limit for the foreign portfolio investors investing in the interest rate futures (IRF) market -- a market normally tapped by those holding government securities to hedge interest-rate risks. By doing so, the central bank has indirectly raised the bond holding limit of FPIs. 

"It is proposed to allocate FPIs a separate limit of Rs 5,000 crore for long position in IRFs," RBI said in the policy statement. "The limits prescribed for investment by FPIs in government securities will then be exclusively available for acquiring such securities." 

Interest rate futures (IRFs) are no different from stock and currency futures on which individuals and institutions bet either to trade or cover risks against bond investments. In IRF contracts, a trader will go long when he expects the price of the 10-year underlying bond to rise. 

"There are a few FPIs, who trade in interest rate futures," said Sandeep Bagla, associate director at Trust Capital Services. "With this separate limit, others too can join them. Overall the move will give more space for FPI participation." 

"RBI too does not need to worry about exchange rate risk as long as IRF trades are concerned," he said. 

Overseas investors have been aggressively investing in Indian debt securities. But they have exhausted 99.34 per cent of the total limit now at Rs 1,87,700 crore, shows data from National Securities Depository. They have nearly used up the full limit in corporate bonds pegged at Rs 2.26 lakh crore.
