50 listed companies 'missing' after raising money

Friday, June 4, 2021

Fifty listed companies are not to be found on their registered address and had been suspended for violations for more than six months. The stock exchange has also been unable to contact them through other means. The BSE had reached out to them with show-cause notices in December 2020.The latest notice dated May 26 gave the companies 15 days to respond. A number of companies raised money from investors in the 1990s and then were untraceable. These came to be known as ‘vanishing companies’. “We have given the notice to non-compliant companies seeking compliance. Where the company does not respond, further steps as mentioned above will be taken. Declaring a company as a ‘vanishing company’ is done by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs as per their criteria,” said an exchange official. Read more

Sensex gained 6.5 per cent or 3,154 points;sharpest May-month rally in seven years

Monday, May 31, 2021

The S&P BSE Sensex posted its biggest May month rally in the past seven years. If analysts are to be believed, there is still more room for an upside, albeit amid minor corrections on the way. The optimism is despite the second wave of the Covid pandemic that brought the Indian economy to a near standstill yet again in 2021. This time, however, analysts believe the impact to be less severe as compared to 2020. “The risk-reward is still favorable for equities given the US Fed intervention to control yields. Any sell-off could offer a good buying opportunity as the medium-term outlook is solid. Our cyclical bias continues with a preference for mid-caps over large-caps,” say experts. Read more

Rally in domestic stocks despite contraction in FY21 GDP poses the risk of a bubble:RBI

Thursday, May 27, 2021

The rally in domestic stocks despite an estimated 8 percent contraction in FY21 GDP poses the risk of a bubble, according to a RBI study. RBI in a study “Is the Bubble in Stock Markets Rational?”, said the widening gap between stretched asset prices relative to prospects for recovery in real economic activity has emerged as a global policy concern while suggesting the need to consider a calibrated unwinding of stimulus once the pandemic waves are flattened and the real economy is firmly on a recovery path. The BSE Sensex hit a record high of 52,154 on February 15, which represented a 100.70 percent surge over March 23, 2020 levels. The index is hovering at 51,000-odd levels in Thursday's trade. “This order of asset price inflation in the context of the estimated 8 percent contraction in GDP in 2020-21 poses the risk of a bubble," it said.

Auto sector problems to continue as downgrades loom under Pandemic

Auto sector problems to continue as downgrades loom under Pandemic

Tuesday, April 27, 2021

Over the past three months, the BSE Auto index has been underperforming the benchmarks amid multiple headwinds, including weak retail, rising commodity prices, and supply disruptions. The auto index, after outperforming the benchmarks for most of FY21, is down about 9 percent, as compared to the 2 percent decline in the Sensex during the last three months. The derating on the one-year forward price to earnings ratio has been higher, about 18 percent since January. Most analysts believe these headwinds will remain in the near term. “Due to the ongoing economic slowdown amid the second wave of Covid, the turbulence (demand woes) the sector is facing for over a month and a half is expected to continue into May, as well. On the other hand, higher commodity prices and other cost inflation would impact operating margins of these companies in the June quarter of FY22 and beyond.” say experts. Read more
