Considering the FY-21 adjusted EPS of Rs.31.93 on a post-issue basis, the company is going to list at a P/E of 28.19 with a market cap of Rs.24,510 mn, while its peers namely Ramkrishna Forgings and MM Forgings are trading at a P/E of 123.30 and 37.14 respectively. We assign a “Subscribe (With Caution)” rating to this IPO as the company is one of the leading forging manufacturers with a geographically diversified revenue base and is available at reasonable valuation as compared to its peers. However, the client concentration risk and CDR debt restructuring in the past keeps us cautious at the same time from a longer-term perspective. Marwadi Shares and Finance

Given the tailwinds in the whole Indian API sector due to increased demands from global pharmaceutical innovators & generic companies going for a China+ 1 multisourcing strategy, this industry is on the path to growing more than double digits for years to come. We believe Glenmark Life sciences IPO which is currently valued at 4.6x EV/sales, 15x EV/ EBITDA & 25x Price/ Earnings & following the lucrative strategy to become bigger in complex APIs, is rather reasonably valued. The IPO is worth thinking about if you are a long-term investor. Aditya Kondawar, Founder, COO, JST Investments

The local currency- Rupee has been into the consolidation phase of 74.30-75.00 zone. Moving ahead, it would be interesting to watch whether RBI again take charge and intervene heavily at current levels or allow it to appreciate towards 74.00-74.10 levels. The chances of reversal from the current levels are high as the resurgence of COVID cases in Asia, higher inflationary pressure, and importer’s rush to cover dollar exposure ahead of Fed and RBI meeting could take the pair again towards 74.90-75.00 levels.

The Nifty continues to be spiritless in its momentum; the range-bound movement still persists! Until we do not get past 15900 on the upside or break 15400 on the downside, we will be far from witnessing a definite trend. While the propensity remains on the upside, the test of patience is challenging. A buy on dips can be looked at as a possible trading strategy.

The 15600 – 15900 Nifty range may hold for some more time since FIIs have again turned aggressive sellers (Rs 2377 cr in cash market yesterday) at around 15900 levels. Even though DIIs are consistently buying (Rs 1551cr yesterday), they are being overwhelmed by FII selling which has touched Rs 14755 cr in July so far. Nifty is unlikely to decisively break above 15900 until FII selling weakens substantially. Since money is continuously flowing into domestic equity mutual funds, the fund managers don’t have any option but to buy even if valuations are high. The mid-small-cap segment is witnessing high volatility in response to results since the institutional activity is low in this segment. The newbie retail investors are now focused on this segment. But this segment can correct hugely when the market turns bearish and, therefore, investors have to be cautious. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

“The Nifty IV’s remained muted which is still pointing towards lack of direction. Hence index back to its consolidation range of 15600 to 15950 again. Rollover activity picks up pace, we may see stock specific movement. 

On the options front, the near options activity is concentrated at ATM strikes of 15800 for both Call and Put. While the highest Call base is placed at 16000 strike, Put base is highest at 15800 strike. So prima facie, a move below 15770 should be considered negative for Nifty below, moving towards 15700-15600. On the higher side, above 15980-16000(a psychological resistance) may trigger short covering momentum which may take Nifty towards 16100-16200 levels,” said Raushan Kumar, Derivative Analyst, IIFL Securities.
