Today molbio diagnostic and Dhoot transmission will start their innings on stock exchanges. Congrats to allottees of Dhoot Transmission.

Bharti Airtel continues to have a positive brokerage consensus, with the latest aggregate target around ₹2,322, while ICICI Securities has a ₹2,410 target and Motilal Oswal ₹2,335. Nifty technical view: The immediate technical zone is 24,200–24,150, which remains the important support area. On the upside, 24,550–24,600 is the first major resistance zone. A sustained move above 24,600 can improve momentum toward higher levels, whereas a decisive break below 24,150 could increase selling pressure toward the 24,000 area. For now, the market remains range-bound with a mildly cautious bias, and traders are likely to prefer stock-specific opportunities rather than aggressive index positions. Overall strategy: The combination of elevated crude, geopolitical uncertainty and a weak rupee argues for caution at the index level, but strong Q1 earnings, domestic institutional support and selected sector-specific triggers remain constructive. Defence, healthcare, telecom, selected auto/industrial names and companies showing strong earnings upgrades can remain on the radar, while oil-sensitive sectors and richly valued stocks without earnings support warrant greater caution.

Good morning 🌅 Market setup: Indian equities are likely to begin Monday on a cautious, largely flat note. GIFT Nifty was around 24,396, indicating only a marginally negative opening versus Friday’s Nifty close of 24,366. On Friday, the Nifty fell 29.85 points (-0.12%) to 24,366, while the Sensex declined 70.71 points (-0.09%) to 78,009. The broader market was mixed, with mid-caps relatively resilient but overall risk appetite subdued. Global cues: Global sentiment remains cautious as the unresolved US-Iran geopolitical situation continues to keep crude elevated. Asian markets are broadly mixed, while investors will also track US economic data and expectations around the Federal Reserve. The immediate risk for India remains the combination of higher oil prices, a weak rupee and foreign-flow volatility. Crude oil & rupee: Brent crude is around $89/barrel, after rising sharply last week on Middle East supply concerns. This remains the biggest macro headwind for India because higher crude can widen the import bill, pressure inflation and squeeze corporate margins. The rupee ended Friday around ₹95.43/$, with RBI intervention helping limit depreciation. The currency is expected to remain broadly range-bound around ₹95.00–95.50/$ this week. FII/DII flows: Institutional activity turned supportive on Friday. FIIs were net buyers of about ₹508 crore, while DIIs bought around ₹356 crore in the cash market. The return of FII buying after a three-session selling streak is a positive near-term signal, although sustained buying will be important for a meaningful market breakout. Gold & silver: Precious metals remain volatile after a sharp recent rally and subsequent profit booking. International gold had corrected to around $4,364/oz, while silver was around $64.9/oz after a decline on August 13. Domestic silver was around ₹2.34 lakh/kg on the latest available Friday reference, while gold remains elevated amid geopolitical uncertainty. The combination of oil, inflation expectations and safe-haven demand should keep both metals volatile. Corporate earnings: The June-quarter earnings season has broadly been encouraging. India Inc revenue growth reached around 19.4% YoY in Q1 FY27, the strongest growth in at least nine quarters, led by auto, banking, metals and pharma. This suggests that underlying domestic corporate earnings remain healthy despite the recent market consolidation. Stocks in focus — Voltas: Voltas is likely to remain in focus after reporting a sharp improvement in quarterly profitability, supported by strong air-conditioner demand. The result reinforces the summer-demand recovery theme in consumer durables. The stock is also on brokerage radar today, with the broader analyst consensus remaining positive. Stocks in focus — PhysicsWallah: PhysicsWallah reported a 24.4% YoY increase in revenue and narrowed its quarterly loss to about ₹77.6 crore. The improvement in operating performance will be watched closely as the company moves toward profitability. Defence & Reliance: A major strategic development is the proposed partnership between Reliance and Rolls-Royce to develop and manufacture an indigenous combat aircraft engine for India's AMCA programme. The proposed aerospace gas-turbine complex could create a significant long-term opportunity across India's defence and aerospace manufacturing ecosystem. MSCI changes: The August MSCI reshuffle is also important. Laurus Labs, Lenskart, Adani Energy Solutions and Groww will enter the MSCI Global Standard Index from September 1, while Balkrishna Industries, SBI Cards and Astral will exit. The changes could trigger sizeable passive flows, with Laurus Labs, Lenskart, Adani Energy Solutions and Groww among the potential beneficiaries. Brokerage calls: Brokerage activity remains positive selectively. Max Healthcare has received a Jefferies target upgrade to ₹1,260 from ₹1,230, while another major brokerage retains a Buy with a ₹1,240 target. Ashok Leyland remains at Hold with a ₹160 target, with valuation cited as a constraint despite stable demand.

Shiprocket IPO – Detailed Review Shiprocket’s ₹1,617 crore IPO closes today, August 14, with a price band of ₹92–97 per share and a lot size of 154 shares, making the minimum retail investment ₹14,938 at the upper band. The issue comprises ₹885.5 crore fresh shares and ₹732 crore OFS. The company is seeking a post-issue valuation of roughly ₹7,000 crore. Subscription: The latest confirmed exchange data available before the final-day close showed the IPO 3.16× subscribed by 5 PM on August 13. Retail investors were the strongest participants at 9.77×, NIIs/HNIs at 4.84×, while QIB ex-anchor participation was only 0.03× at that point. The employee portion was 13.29× subscribed. So, while overall demand is healthy, the relatively low QIB participation is something to watch; institutional bidding can change significantly during the final hours. Shiprocket is essentially a play on India's expanding D2C, e-commerce and MSME ecosystem. Its platform helps merchants manage shipping, logistics, fulfilment and other e-commerce operations, giving it exposure to the long-term shift from offline to online commerce. The company has a strong position in e-commerce enablement, but the key concern remains profitability. FY26 revenue was around ₹2,024 crore, while it continued to report a net loss of roughly ₹79 crore. The positive point is improving cash generation and a substantial reduction in losses compared with earlier years. GMP and listing indication: The unofficial grey-market premium has risen sharply. The latest indication is around ₹37 per share, implying a notional listing price of about ₹134 against the ₹97 upper band, or roughly 38% premium. This is a strong signal of market enthusiasm, but GMP is unofficial and can change rapidly before listing, so it should not be treated as a guaranteed return. Valuation versus peers: At around ₹7,000 crore valuation, Shiprocket is being valued at roughly 3.2–3.5× FY26 sales/EV-sales, depending on the calculation used. This is somewhat attractive compared with listed logistics-tech businesses such as Delhivery, which have historically commanded around 4×+ EV/sales. However, Shiprocket deserves some discount because it is still loss-making and has a less mature profitability profile. Conventional P/E comparison is therefore not meaningful at present. Verdict – SUBSCRIBE, but with a high-risk tag. At ₹97, I find the valuation reasonable rather than cheap, especially considering the company's leadership position, e-commerce growth opportunity and improving cash economics. The 3.16× subscription, very strong retail response and ~38% GMP improve the near-term listing case. For investors comfortable with higher risk, it is suitable for listing gains plus a 3–5 year growth bet. Fr aggressive risk takers.Good anchor book gives us confidence to atleast take a chance for listing gains, subject to allotment.

LG Electronics India reported a strong quarter. Revenue rose about 15.5% YoY to ₹7,233 crore, while net profit increased 27% to ₹653 crore. Growth was broad-based across appliances, air solutions and home entertainment, with operating performance also improving. The result supports the premiumisation and consumer-durables growth story. Honasa Consumer delivered another standout quarter. Revenue from operations rose about 27% YoY to ₹756 crore, while PAT jumped 119% to ₹90.4 crore, its highest-ever quarterly profit. Another measure is even more encouraging: EBITDA was around ₹110 crore, roughly double YoY, indicating significant operating leverage. Improvement in Mamaearth and the broader brand portfolio makes this one of the consumer names worth watching after the results. Jubilant FoodWorks also reported steady growth. Consolidated revenue increased around 14% YoY to ₹2,570 crore, while PAT rose about 6% to ₹100 crore. Revenue growth remains healthy, although the relatively slower profit growth means margins and same-store sales growth will be important to monitor. JSW Cement reported a mixed quarter. Net profit was around ₹161 crore, compared with a loss in the year-ago period, but EBITDA fell about 18% YoY to ₹299 crore. Therefore, the headline PAT improvement looks better than the underlying operating performance. Margin recovery, volume growth and integration benefits will be key factors for the stock. Stocks in focus today include Indigo Paints, Max Financial, Tata Motors PV, LG Electronics India, Honasa Consumer, Ashok Leyland, PhysicsWallah, Jubilant FoodWorks, Technocraft Industries, Aditya Birla Real Estate and Avanti Feeds. The market will particularly track the reaction to the large batch of Q1 results announced after Thursday's close. Tata Motors remains supported by brokerage optimism despite the volatility around the passenger-vehicle/JLR numbers. Nomura upgraded Tata Motors to Buy after the recent Q1 performance and raised its target to ₹554 from ₹402, citing improving demand and potential margin recovery. This is an important positive brokerage signal, although investors should distinguish the underlying Tata Motors/JLR story from the near-term earnings volatility. The broader brokerage stance remains selective rather than aggressively bullish. Brokerages continue to favour companies where earnings upgrades are accompanied by improving margins and cash flows, while expensive stocks with weak Q1 operating performance are vulnerable to target-price cuts. Recent examples include caution around companies where working-capital requirements or margin contraction have worsened. The message for today's market is therefore to focus on earnings quality rather than simply headline PAT growth. Technical setup: Nifty's immediate battle is around 24,300–24,400. Holding 24,300 keeps the possibility of a rebound towards 24,500–24,600 alive. A decisive break below 24,300 could take the index towards 24,150–24,200. On the upside, sustained buying above 24,500 would improve the short-term structure. Bank Nifty support is around 57,400, with 57,800–58,000 acting as the immediate resistance area. Overall market view: Friday's setup is cautious but not bearish. Falling crude, record-high US equities and strong domestic earnings are positives, while Hormuz/US-Iran tensions, elevated gold, FII selling and the stronger dollar remain risks. With Nifty close to the 24,300 support zone, investors should avoid aggressive fresh positions at the open and look for opportunities in companies showing strong revenue growth, improving EBITDA margins and earnings upgrades. The next major market trigger remains the interaction between crude prices and the geopolitical situation, while Q1 earnings will continue to determine stock-specific moves.

Good morning 🌞🌻 Nifty starts Friday on a cautious note, with the index indicated around 33 points lower near 24,360–24,365. The previous session saw Nifty close at 24,395.85, down 40.10 points, while Sensex ended at 78,079.96. GIFT Nifty was around 24,435 earlier this morning, down roughly 28 points, signalling a subdued opening. Immediate Nifty support remains around 24,300, followed by 24,200, while 24,500–24,550 remains the key resistance zone. Global cues are relatively supportive, but geopolitical risk remains the main overhang. US markets closed at fresh records overnight after July producer-price inflation came in softer than expected, reducing concerns about further Fed tightening. The S&P 500 gained 0.65%, Nasdaq 0.81% and Dow Jones 0.13%. Asian markets are also broadly positive this morning, tracking Wall Street. However, India's market is likely to remain more sensitive to crude and the continuing US-Iran conflict because of the country's high oil-import dependence. West Asia remains an important risk factor. Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue, with Iran rejecting US claims that Washington controls the waterway. Competing claims over control of Hormuz keep the risk of disruption to tanker traffic and crude supplies elevated. The US-Iran war therefore remains a key variable for Indian equities, particularly oil-importing sectors, aviation, paints, chemicals and other fuel-intensive businesses. Crude has finally provided some relief. Brent is trading around $86.8–87 per barrel, after falling more than 2% in the previous session. The decline is positive for India, although Brent remains around 30% higher than a year ago, so the oil situation cannot yet be considered comfortable. A sustained move below $85 would be a meaningful positive for Indian equities, while a return above $90 would again raise concerns about inflation, the rupee and corporate margins. Gold remains extremely strong despite a modest overnight correction. International spot gold is around $4,300–4,400/oz, while domestic 24-carat gold is around ₹1.50–1.55 lakh per 10 grams, depending on the city and benchmark used. In Delhi, the quoted 24K retail rate is around ₹1,50,100/10g. Gold remains supported by geopolitical uncertainty, central-bank demand and expectations around US monetary policy. FII/DII flows remain a major market support. On August 13, FIIs were net sellers of around ₹511 crore, while DIIs bought approximately ₹4,353 crore. The latest NSE data also shows strong domestic institutional participation. This continued DII absorption is helping limit the downside despite persistent foreign selling. Indigo Paints delivered one of the better results. Q1 FY27 revenue increased 19.7% YoY to ₹369.7 crore, while net profit jumped 60% to ₹41.7 crore. EBITDA grew around 40%, with margins improving significantly. The combination of double-digit volume/revenue growth and operating leverage is positive for the company, although higher crude-linked input costs remain a risk if oil rises again. The stock is likely to remain in focus after the strong earnings beat. Max Financial delivered a strong operating performance. Q1 revenue rose around 18% YoY to ₹7,289 crore, while consolidated PAT stood at about ₹118 crore. More importantly, its insurance business reported approximately 33% growth in Value of New Business (VNB), with VNB margin improving by about 315 bps to 23.2%. Strong protection growth and improving product mix are positive, and the key thing to watch is whether these higher margins remain sustainable over the coming quarters. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles will remain a major focus after its Q1 numbers. Consolidated revenue increased around 9% YoY to ₹95,799 crore, but net profit plunged 80% to ₹775 crore. Weakness in JLR, supply constraints, adverse foreign-exchange and commodity movements and the transition away from outgoing Jaguar models hurt profitability. The result is mixed rather than outright weak because underlying revenue remained resilient, but margins and JLR recovery will be critical for the stock.

Orders/news: L&T is in focus after securing a roughly ₹1,400-crore Vyoma.AI-related deal, while HAL remains in focus on fresh Light Combat Helicopter order flow. Railway and defence stocks should remain active following strong order-book commentary and continuing government capex. Nifty technical levels: Immediate support is 24,300–24,250, followed by 24,000. On the upside, 24,500–24,550 is the first hurdle and 24,700 remains the key breakout level. A sustained move above 24,700 can take Nifty towards 24,900–25,000, while a break below 24,200 would weaken the setup. Brokerage view: The broader brokerage stance remains cautiously positive above 24,200–24,300, but analysts expect volatility until Nifty decisively clears 24,700. Lenskart's strong earnings continue to support the long-term growth argument, while Astral's margin contraction is a near-term concern. Manufacturing, defence, infrastructure and selected financials remain preferred themes. Overall: The market setup is neutral to mildly positive, with domestic liquidity providing a cushion against FII selling. Today the biggest stock-specific triggers are MSCI additions/exclusions, Lenskart, Astral, GMR Airports, Gujarat Pipavav Port, IRCTC, Grasim, HAL and L&T. The key external risks remain Brent around $88, the Gulf/Hormuz situation and global interest-rate expectations.
