The upside marker at 83.06 failed to give away deflating the momentum that was bubbling for the last few days having held inside the 83-82.9 region for so long. This has brought 82.78 back into the radar. Upsides will strengthen only on pull back above 83.17.

Nifty outlook today from Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
The defence launched in the closing hour of yesterday calls for a few positive moments early in the day. The 21690-720 region poses the first challenge to such attempts and it would require 21835 to be overcome to signal upside momentum. Inability to scale 21720 or a direct fall below 21580 could eye 21500-250 as the initial downside objectives.

Morning view on the market from Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
"An important ongoing trend in the market is the weakness in the broader market with sharp cuts in many mid and small caps. Many such stocks driven up by speculative buying without consideration for the fundamentals are correcting. This trend is likely to continue since many such stocks are excessively valued. The explosive growth in the number of demat accounts and the newbies chasing mid and small caps influenced by recency bias have contributed to this froth in the broader market. A correction in this segment is inevitable and desirable. Correction will give opportunities to buy fairly valued stocks in this segment like PSU Banks."

Hero Motocorp Q3FY24 Result Update By LKP Securities
Hero Motocorp posted healthy set of numbers in Q3, led by pick up in volume performance stemming from sectoral robustness. Margins grew well as the input cost benefits, cost savings, operating leverage and product mix helped the cause. Going forward, we expect decent volume trajectory with the XTech variants launched last year, new launches coming up in the 125 cc segment, scooters and premium bike launches under the Hero as well as the HD brand. Expansion of the EV scooter in more cities soon will further add to the steam. Demand levers in the rural markets are positive, despite low monsoons on account of a strong El Nino and unseasonal rains. Hero’s high stake (37.5%) in Aether Energy to manufacture Electric Scooters and battery swapping platform shall give Hero a good fillip in the EV 2W space. We expect 9-10% volume growth in FY25-26E. Profitability would improve through better product mix on Hero’s premiumization theme under which the focus of the company is now on the premium bikes and X-Tech variants, price hikes, cost saving programs like LEAP-2 and operating leverage stemming from improving volumes. EV spending may impact margins in the initial period till we see an expansion of scale and volumes. We therefore maintain our BUY rating on the stock with FY26E target price of Rs 5,555 (valued at 18x v/s current multiple of 16x). Improving return ratios, zero debt and dividend yield gives investors an additional comfort.

Further, company’s performance has been consistent for FY22, FY23 and 9MFY24 wherein execution has remained strong with consistent margin improvement and expects it to continue with strong order book and pipeline ahead including focus of management remains on collections and cash. Overall company remains optimistic in the short to mid-term with support from the government in the form of investment, reforms and policies. Considering the strong 9MFY24 performance we are increasing the estimates and target upwards given strong beat across revenues and margins. We also introduce FY26 estimates. Hence, we maintain BUY with a revised TP of Rs 690.

Ramco Cement – Capex intensity remains high (Reduce, TP: Rs874) - Centrum Broking
The Ramco Cement Ltd (TRCL) reported marginally weak set of results as reported revenue/EBITDA came in 4%/3% below estimate. Cement volumes at 3.97mn mt came in 6% below our estimate owing to rains/floods in key markets of the company. Bigger surprise was on capex front wherein the company upgraded capex guidance for FY24 once again and kept capex intensity for FY25 also higher at Rs17.5bn. Strong volume growth exhibited by the company over the past 6-7 quarters is likely to be normalized as high base catches up and utilizations inch up. Given the heightened capex, leverage is expected to remain elevated with debt:EBITDA expected to remain above 3x. We have cut our estimates marginally for FY25/FY26 but increase our capex estimate based on revised guidance. Post revision, our new TP stands at Rs874 (Rs970 earlier) based on 12x Sep25 EV/EBITDA. We maintain our Reduce call on the stock.

Bitcoin crossed the ,000 level.
Mr Edul Patel CEO of Mudrex said, "Bitcoin breaches the ,000 milestone for the first time since 2021. This surge is due to the robust performance of the US stock market, substantial inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, and upcoming halving event. Bitcoin now faces its next resistance at ,250, leading towards the ,200 mark. The prevailing positive investor sentiment manifests in an active bullish presence in the market. Concurrently, Ethereum maintains its position above ,600, with bulls targeting the ,717 threshold."
KNR constructions Ltd (KNR) reported weak results for 3QFY24 with 250bps YoY decline in EBITDA margins. While revenue growth of 9% YoY was largely in-line with estimates, lower margins resulted in PAT coming in 12.5% below our estimate. We believe the company’s current orderbook (Rs67.4bn including recently awarded projects) is critically low and despite company’s best efforts, new orders as well as diversification has failed to materialize. Execution in high margin irrigation orders is slow on account of change in government in Telangana and increasing receivables. Given the weak order inflow this year and uncertainty on irrigation execution, we have cut PAT numbers for FY24/FY25 by 3%/15% respectively. We are now building in only 6%/7% CAGR in revenue/PAT for FYF23-25. As a result, we downgrade the stock to Sell from Reduce with revised TP of Rs238 (Rs263 earlier).
