Strategy Market makes a smart comeback in Oct’22; FIIs/DIIs both record inflows
 Nifty bounces back and closes above 18k in Oct'22: The Nifty, after declining in Sep’22, bounced back smartly in Oct’22 with
5.4% MoM gain – the second highest since Aug’21. India has emerged as a shining star in CY22 registering a healthy
outperformance amid varied global macro headwinds including, inflation, interest rates, currency, and geopolitics. While
most global equity markets are down 20-25% in YTD’CY22, India is up 4% (in local currency). The Nifty Midcap 100 (+2.5%
MoM) and Nifty Smallcap 100 (+2.6% YoY) both underperformed the benchmark in Oct’22. In P/E terms, the Nifty Midcap 100
now trades at a 23% premium to largecaps, whereas the Nifty Smallcap 100 trades at a 16% discount to largecaps.
 All major economies end higher in Oct’22: Barring China (-4% MoM), Taiwan (-4%), and MSCI EM (-3%), Oct’22 saw all key
global markets such as Russia (+15%), the US (+8%), Korea (+6%), Japan (+6%), Brazil (+5%), India (+5%), the UK (+3%), and
Indonesia (+1%) close higher in local currency terms. Over the last 12 months, the MSCI India index (+2%) has outperformed
the MSCI EM index (-33%).
 FII and DII both record inflows: FIIs turned net buyers of USD1b in Oct’22, after withdrawing USD1.6b in Sep’22. Outflows
YTD stood at USD21.5b. DIIs remained net buyers of USD1.1b in Oct’22. Inflows YTD stood at USD30b.
 All major sectors ended higher in Oct’22: PSU Banks (+16%), Capital Goods (+7%), Technology (+6%), and Private Banks (+6%)
were the top gainers. While, Consumer and Media were the only laggards.
 Our view: The 2QFY23 corporate earnings have been in-line thus far with heavyweights, such as RIL, HDFC Bank, TCS, ICICI
Bank, and Infosys, registering in-line aggregate performance. The spread of earnings has been decent with 70% of our
universe either meeting or exceeding profit expectations. However, the growth is being led by just BFSI and Autos with
Metals, Oil & Gas and Cement posting a YoY earnings decline. As the benefit of the recent moderation in commodity costs
start accruing in 2HFY23E, we expect other sectors to contribute too. Markets have bounced back smartly in Oct’22. Nifty
now trades at 22x FY23E, comfortably above the LPA and offers limited upside in the near term, in our view. We reckon the
upside from here will be a function of stability in global and local macros and continued earnings delivery v/s expectations. In
our model portfolio, we maintain our OW stance on BFSI, AUTO, Consumer & IT and UW stance on Energy, Pharma, and
Utilities.
 Top ideas | Largecaps: Reliance Industries, Infosys, ICICI Bank, SBI, Bharti Airtel, ITC, Maruti Suzuki, Titan Company, Ultratech
Cement, IndusInd Bank, Hindalco, Apollo Hospitals, and Macrotech Developers.
Midcaps/smallcaps: Varun Beverages, Ashok Leyland, Jubilant Foodworks, Metro Brands, Vinati Organics, Cams Services,
Angel One, Lemon Tree Hotel, and VRL Logistics.

Sector valuations Two-thirds of the sectors trade at a premium to their historical averages
 The Technology sector is trading at a P/E of 22.8x, a 20% premium to its historical average of 19x. Valuations have corrected meaningfully over the
last few months due to weak macro environment. The longer term demand for IT services remains intact despite near-term pain due to weak macro.
 Private Banks are trading at a P/B of 2.6x, marginally above its historical average of 2.5x. Most banks are guiding for a sustained traction in loan
growth, driven by continued momentum in Retail/SME segments, while the corporate segment too saw a healthy traction as loan growth for the
system improved to ~18% as on Oct22.
 PSU Banks are trading at a P/B of 1.0x, 25% premium to its historical average of 0.8x. The earnings outlook for PSBs continues to look good, led by an
improvement across all major parameters namely margins, operating profitability, and credit costs.
 The Auto sector is trading at a P/E of 24.2x, below its historical average of 26.1x – at a 7% discount. PV/CV/ 3W/tractor volumes rose 29%/4%/13%/
10% YoY, respectively, while 2Ws declined 8% YoY. Easing of chip shortages and healthy demand are aiding PV wholesales. 2W wholesales declined
YoY due to focus on inventory management.

Automobiles Oct’22: A mixed bag in terms of wholesales
 The Auto sector is trading at a P/E of 24.2x, below its historical average of 26.1x – at a 7% discount.
 Valuations are at a 17% premium to its 10-year average of 3.2x on a P/B basis.
 PV/CV/ 3W/tractor volumes rose 29%/4%/13%/ 10% YoY, respectively, while 2Ws declined 8% YoY. Easing of chip shortages and healthy demand are
aiding PV wholesales. 2W wholesales declined YoY due to focus on inventory management. CV demand, however, has continued to grow. Tractor
wholesales jumped as retail demand revived during the festive season.
 Retail demand across categories has been satisfactory in the festive season. 2Ws post-festive domestic demand needs to be seen and the worst is
behind in terms of exports. With demand being strong and chip shortages easing, the waiting periods for PVs are declining. The outlook for the
upcoming Rabi season is positive, led by macro factors, which may aid tractor demand.

Private Banks Earnings momentum remains healthy; margins exhibited healthy improvement
 Private Banks are trading at a P/B of 2.6x, marginally above its historical average of 2.5x.
 Most banks are guiding for a sustained traction in loan growth, driven by continued momentum in Retail/SME segments, while the corporate
segment too saw a healthy traction as loan growth for the system improved to ~18% as on Oct’22. While we expect the momentum to sustain, we
remain watchful of further monetary tightening and rising inflation, which can dent demand and delay the recovery in capex cycle. Margins have
increased over 2QFY23 and is likely to witness a positive bias in the near term. Garnering deposits would be important, given the tightening
liquidity.
 On the asset quality front, slippages continued to moderate, while the stress from restructuring book too remained under control, which is likely to
keep the credit costs benign. Additional provision buffers provide further comfort on asset quality outlook.

PSU Banks Operating metrics improving; treasury performance to be muted
 PSU Banks are trading at a P/B of 1.0x, 25% premium to its historical average of 0.8x.
 The earnings outlook for PSBs continues to look good, led by an improvement across all major parameters, namely margins, operating profitability
and credit costs. The SMA pool remains benign, which coupled with limited slippages from the restructuring/ECLGS book, augurs well for
incremental slippages to remain controlled and would aid in sustained/continuous reduction in credit costs. While the yields have moderated over
2QFY23, it has increased over the shorter tenure, which could keep the treasury performance muted.
 Capital ratios remained healthy to pursue growth opportunities. We saw a revival in growth as PSBs reported strong sequential growth particularly
in the corporate segment. We expect trends to remain healthy going ahead as the pipeline remains strong across most of the banks.

NBFC Forward-looking commentaries on demand/margin more crucial now than earlier

 NBFCs are trading at a P/B of 2.9x, just a 3% discount to its historical average of 3x
 Strong demand in vehicle finance all through 2QFY23 and it is expected to sustain in 2HFY23 as well.
 Housing demand has been robust until now, but we believe that another ~50bp increase in the repo rates will start adversely impacting the
demand. Impact on NIM for vehicle financiers was less pronounced in 1HFY23 but will be much higher in 2H.
 Asset quality has improved marginally (or remained stable) for majority of the NBFCs/HFCs despite the seasonality inherent in 1H of the fiscal year.
 Demand for Gold loans in lower ticket sizes has remained weak and the higher ticket gold loan book continues to run off at a brisk pace, leading to
muted gold loan growth. Gold loan NBFCs have started prioritizing profitability, given that the aggression from banks has not mellowed down yet.

Cement Festive season adversely impacts demand, price improves in select regions
 The sector trades at a one-year forward EV/EBITDA ratio of 19.3x – at a 18% premium to its historical average of 16.4x.
 Our channel checks indicate that cement demand in Oct’22 was soft due to festive seasons and unprecedented rainfall in some parts of the country.
We estimate Cement volume in Oct’22 to be down 5-7% YoY.
 Cement price has seen improvement in the South, West and East India, while it remained flat in North and Central India. All India average Cement
price increased ~2-3% MoM. Petcoke prices after declining over the past couple of months increased 11-15% in Oct’22 MoM. Contrary to this,
imported coal prices, after remaining at an elevated levels of USD300-350/t (Richard Bay spot price), declined to USD215/t by Oct’22-end (down by
~22% MoM). We believe that fuel cost has peaked out in 2QFY23 and the industry will see a gradual reduction in prices from 3QFY23 onwards.

Consumer Gross margin to improve gradually

 The consumer sector P/E of 42.6x in Oct’22 was at a 9% premium to its 10-year average of 39.1x. On a P/B basis, it trades at 11.6x against its
historical average at 10.2x (13% premium).
 Rural demand environment remains subdued as volumes do not pick up. Patchy rainfall in UP and Bihar and liquidity pressures have resulted in
weak demand.
 Commodity costs have remained more or less stable during the month of Oct’22. Palm oil has corrected the most (~51-59% from peak). Gross
margin pressure will gradually come off and the impact will be seen in the later part of the year.

Healthcare Business prospects improving; valuation near its averages
 Healthcare sector P/E of 24.8x is trading at just 2% discount to its 10-year average.
 Healthy revival is witnessed in the domestic formulations segment, driven by non-Covid portfolio and price hikes in products under NLEM.
 The US business remains under pressure due to ongoing price erosion. However, there is some respite, led by niche launches and gradual recovery
in the pace of ANDA approvals. The regulatory risk with increasing inspections has been on the rise. The USD appreciation against INR is offset to
some extent by imports and depreciation in other currencies.
 The hospital sector’s operational performance remains robust with improving occupancy/ARPOB in elective surgeries and rising international
medical tourism. We remain positive on: a) branded generics plays (SUNP), b) companies with a robust ANDA pipeline (DRRD), d) firms with strong
growth prospects (LAURUS), and e) hospitals/pharmacy theme (Apollo Hospitals).

Infrastructure Project awarding remains muted; NHAI looks to fast track asset monetization
 The Infrastructure sector is trading at a P/B of 1.3x, at a 19% premium to its long-term historical average.
 Project awarding by agencies such as NHAI has been soft with 810 kms of projects being awarded in 1HFY23. To achieve the target of awarding
6,500 kms in FY23, 2HFY23 would require massive project awarding.
 The prices of Steel and Aluminum have declined ~25%/30%, respectively, from their levels in Apr’22, which would benefit contractors in 2HFY23.
 National Highways Infra Investment Trust (NHAI InVIT) has raised INR 94.3b in two tranches with a total portfolio of eight road assets of 636 kms.
NHAI has prepared a pipeline to monetize 1,750 kms of assets in FY23 but a faster execution is required to meet the monetization targets.
 We prefer players with decent order book in hand, presence in two or more segments, and strong balance sheets; these companies will be better
placed to capitalize on the opportunity.

 Market share of Indian railways in EXIM containers increased to 35% as of Sep’22 (33% in Sep’21).
 Freight rates increased marginally in Sep’22. During the last few months, freight rates have been steady with robust end-use demand and elevated
diesel prices.
 With a structural shift in the formalization of the sector (~90% of the logistics sector is unorganized), supported by stricter implementation of GST
and mandatory e-invoicing, the addressable market size for the organized operators will increase.

Technology Resilient revenues; supply pressures to ease
 The Technology sector is trading at a P/E ratio of 22.8x, at a 20% premium to its historical average of 19x.
 Valuations have corrected meaningfully over the last few months due to weak macro environment. The longer term demand for IT services remains
intact despite near-term pain.
 Though some areas such as Mortgage, Retail, and Manufacturing have seen some impact due to weak macro, the deal wins continue to remain
strong with increasing cost optimization initiatives from clients.
 Freshers becoming billable, pricing, utilization, and operating leverage remain the key margin levers. Attrition has peaked, and should see
moderation in the coming quarters as the supply pressure eases.
