Stock indices are currently undergoing a strong rally, continuing their positive momentum after opening strong this morning. As of 12 Noon, the Sensex had surged by 1,044 points, or 1.35%, trading at 78,383, while the Nifty 50 index had gained 303 points, up 1.30%, to reach 23,757.
All major sectors are in the green, with the Nifty leading the charge, up by 2.3%. The banking index has also shown a solid rise, increasing by 1%. Other key sectors, including metals, real estate, FMCG, and autos, are also showing impressive gains with broad-based strength across the market.
Earlier, Indian stock market opened on a strong positive note during the early trade of Tuesday, November 19. Sensex jumped over 77,800 and Nifty hit over 23,640 levels in the opening bell. Stocks like Trent, ONGC, BPCL, Tata Motors, and M&M are top gainers, while stocks like SBI Life, Cipla, Bajaj Finserv, Kotak Bank, and Shriram Finance were top losers but the decline was slowed. With that, Sensex and Nifty paused their seventh consecutive loosing streak. Nifty Green Energy IPO is among the much-awaited IPOs that will open on Tuesday, and accordingly, share price of NTPC will be in focus.
Gift Nifty is trading at a roughly 60-point upside to Nifty Futures Monday's completion, indicating an upward trajectory for the Indian benchmark indices after the Nifty index has been trading below the 200-day moving average (DMA) for the last two sessions. Asian markets began higher on Tuesday, following a mixed day for the US stock market on Monday. On the domestic market, the NTPC Green Energy IPO opens for subscription on November 19, 2024, thus the book-built issue of Rs 10,000.00 crores, consisting completely of fresh issuance of 92.59 crore shares, is expected to pique the attention of market observers in the session.
While Asian stocks also witnessed gains in trade with Hang Seng and Nikkei 225 up by around 1%. Overnight, Wall Street gained momentum, halting their previous sessions selloffs.

Result Update: Lemon Tree Hotels | Strong all-round performance
Sumit Kumar of JM Financial Institutional Securities said, “Lemon Tree Hotels (Lemon Tree) reported a strong quarter with Revenue/EBITDA coming 6%/9% above JMFe (-1%/2% vs. consensus) led by healthy growth in ARRs, robust performance of the O&M business, and a better-than-expected margin performance. Revenue grew 25.2% YoY to INR 2.8bn, aided by room count increase of 18% and an ARR growth of 12% YoY. Occupancy was down 328bps YoY (up 174bps QoQ) due to 9% inventory being non-operational on account of renovation. While EBITDA margin was marginally up by 53 bps, the improvement (to the extent of 340 bps) was capped on account of higher renovation expense. We expect LTH to deliver Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 15%/17%/30% over FY24A-27E aided by low double-digit RevPAR growth and positive operating leverage over the same period. We reiterate BUY with a Sep’25 TP of INR 155, valuing Lemon Tree at 23.0x EV/EBITDA (revised downwards from 24.0x earlier).”

Company Update: CMS Info Systems | Strong Core Business, Steady Growth And A Developing AIoT Story
Shalin Choksy of JM Financial Institutional Securities said, “CMSINFO is a market leader in the cash management business and has entered the managed services and AIoT Remote Monitoring business in order to de-risk from “de-cashification.” The cash management business has several growth levers (1) growing opportunity in retail cash management; (2) ATM additions owing to an increase in interchange fees and PSU RFPs; and (3) reducing competitive intensity, albeit reduction in cash transactions remains a key risk. At the same time, its entry into AIoT Remote Monitoring (now 7% of revenues) opens a new opportunity, thereby alleviating de-growth risks. Going forward, we forecast a 14% revenue CAGR through FY24-27E, resulting in PAT growth of 15% CAGR. However upsides are likely from a comeback in margins in managed services which have recently been affected. CMSINFO offers exposure to a 19% RoE company, growing at 14-15%, which after the recent ~20% fall from its highs, is trading at 18x FY26E. We recommend a BUY with a target price of INR 580 (20x Dec’26E EPS) for a 20% upside.

Strategy | Buy ideas In The FII Sell-Off
Venkatesh Balasubramaniam of JM Financial Institutional Securities said, “Nifty 50 is down 11% from its recent peak in Sep’24. During the course of this correction, 21% of stocks in the JM Financial coverage universe have fallen >30%, 55% of stocks have fallen >20% and 72% of the stocks have fallen >15%. We expect a pick-up in government capex and rural demand in 2HFY25. Further, with continued SIP flows and hopefully a slowdown in FII outflows in the near future, it might not be a bad time to start analysing JM Financial’s preferred list of 14 large, 10 mid and 15 small cap stocks (bottoms-up ideas compiled from our research team).”

Zomato Share Price In Focus
Bharat Gala, COO Equity broking- Ventura Securities said, “Zomato has exhibited a consistent upward move since June and made a high of 298 in September. A valid correction then followed with a lower top formation and then the stock made a low of 240 in November. Its KST, Aroon Up/Down and Demand Index indicators are positive. Recently, it also showed a symmetrical triangle breakout by a positive weekly price candle supported by volumes. After trading around the moving average for a while, Zomato is now clearly trading above its moving average. The target is 400 with support levels of 260, 254, and 248, where more shares can be accumulated. The stop loss would be 238.”

Stock Market Live Updates: Nifty Outlook Today
Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services: Attempts to push higher seen yesterday were weak, resigning Nifty to the seventh day of negative close, the longest stretch of consecutive red candles since the ongoing downtrend began on 27th Sep. Nevertheless, we will retain revival hopes, with RSI appearing bottomed out, but will limit upside target to 23733-88 for now, awaiting further signals for the 24111 move. Alternatively, inability to float above 23565 could delay recovery moves, but a collapse is less expected today

Sensex, Nifty Live Updates: How Will Stock Market Trade On Tuesday
Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services: An important takeaway from the recent market trend is that a quick and sharp recovery is not in sight. The momentum that drove the market to its record peak of 26216 in September is gone. There can be recoveries which are unlikely to sustain given the selling mode of the FIIs and the concerns surrounding the weak earnings growth feared in FY25. At best the market may consolidate around the present levels with sideways movements. Sustained up moves will emerge only when incoming data indicates earnings recovery. A significant trend is the sustained weakness emerging in a large number of mid and smallcaps. Hundreds of such stocks, which had run ahead of fundamentals, and driven by momentum are reverting to mean. Investors need not rush in to grab these stocks which have more downside potential. In contrast, quality largecaps are resilient and investors can stick to them.
