KRChoksey on Paras Defence:
Paras Defence and Space Technologies is one of India’s leading private sector companies in the “Indigenously Designed, Developed, and Manufactured” (“IDDM”) category, catering to four major segments of the Indian defence sector, namely defence and space optics, defence electronics, electro-magnetic pulse (“EMP”) protection solutions, and heavy engineering.
The company derives most of its revenues from the Government arms and associated entities. Additionally, increased customer demand for the company’s space optics products would boost revenue and profitability going forward. As a result, we recommend a ‘SUBSCRIBE’ rating for the Paras Defence IPO.

Mohit Nigam, Head – PMS, Hem Securities:
Indian equity markets could possibly follow the pressure mounted by couple of global concerns. Asian markets remain under pressure as Japan’s market is following the selloff after yesterday’s holiday while Hong Kong is trading flat early this morning. Default by China’s second largest real estate company is posing a looming threat on markets worldwide as investors await a bailout plan by government. Also, China’s stance towards private sector also appears to be less favourable as it aims to focus on environmental concerns. These factors are pushing metals and other commodities’ prices lower and hinting at further downside.
On the other hand, US Fed’s MPC meet shall begin today and investors round the globe will be awaiting their plans for timeline regarding withdrawal of monetary support. Trends on SGX Nifty hints at a support near current levels while Dow Futures have also recovered quite well by gaining nearly 0.5% this morning. Indian markets shall remain cautious and observant today while investors might as well shift their focus towards defensive counters.
On domestic front, stock specific news shall drive momentum on select counters. On technical front, 17,300 shall act as a crucial support while resistance could be seen near 17,600 levels.
