Sizzling Stocks: TATACOM, RAYMOND




The stock found key long-term support in the band between Rs 230 and Rs 240 in early June 2010 and has been on a short-term uptrend. It surged more than 6 per cent on Monday, this bullish momentum prolonged till the stock ended end the week with a 20 per cent gain. The weekly volume is extra-ordinary. The stock is currently testing significant long-term resistance in the zone between Rs 330 and Rs 340. Strong weekly close above this zone will take the stock ahead to Rs 370 and to Rs 390 in the medium-term.
Inability to surpass the resistance zone in the near-term will drag the stock lower to its immediate support level of Rs 295–300 range. Key support below this level is at Rs 270.

Raymond (Rs 374.9)
Raymond was more enthusiastic by gaining Rs 133 or 55 per cent last week. The volume traded was astonishing. From March 2009 low of Rs 68, the counter has been on an intermediate-term uptrend. With previous week's unusual surge, the stock has breached its key long-term resistance at Rs 350 conclusively. Immediate resistance for the stock is at Rs 400 and Rs 410 band. Both the daily and weekly relative strength indices have entered in to the overbought territory signalling near-term cautiousness. Therefore, a reversal from the current levels can pull the stock down to Rs 350 or to Rs 310 in the medium-term. On the other hand, as long as the stock trades above Rs 280, it has the potential to reach target of Rs 460 and Rs 480 in the long-term. — Yoganand D.



TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: Index Outlook: Heavyweights to the rescue
Odds piled up against the progress of the ongoing rally last week. Slowing economic growth in the US and Europe, domestic first quarter earnings doing likewise and indices nearing critical resistance caused a mid-week wobble in the ...

Heard on the street: Timken, Tata Motors




Delisting buzz sends Timken shares soaring

Shares of Timken India have risen around 29% so far in August on speculation the company may delist after buying back shares from public shareholders. Parent Timken Company holds around 80% in the Indian arm. The rumour doing the rounds is that a prominent Kolkata-based broker is active in the stock, which rose 8.5% to Rs 172.80 on Thursday. But some feel this is unlikely, as this broker is not known to take big bets in themes such as share buybacks.

A broker said the recent rally may have been in anticipation of good results in the June quarter, which was announced on Wednesday. Timken’s net profit rose about 80% to Rs 17.4 crore compared with the same quarter last year.

Smart’ operators seen exiting Tata Motors

SHARES of Tata Motors have been one of the best performers among large caps in the past three sessions, after the company’s earnings exceeded expectations. The buzz is that many of the astute names on Dalal Street, including a young broker who shot to fame in the past couple of years, and a suave broker who appeared on television frequently, have been active in the stock, of late.

If the talk of these players being active in the stock is true, investors in Tata Motors may have to brace for a sharp fall as and when they dump the stock. The stock, which rose 1.7% to a new high of Rs 1,024 on Thursday, has risen around 21% in the past six sessions.

Stake sale talk keeps HNIs busy with Mudra Lifestyle

High net worth investors have been buying shares of Mumbai-based integrated textile firm Mudra Lifestyle, of late. Grapevine has it that the company may sell a strategic stake to another textile firm. A senior company official declined to comment on the matter.

There is also talk that the treasury desk of a domestic PSU bank has bought a couple of lakh shares a few days ago. Brokers tracking the stock said that the company has recently completed its capex with an investment of over Rs 300 crore. The stock closed at Rs 48, up over 2% from the previous close.

A global PE may pick up stake in Shilpa Medicare

A GLOBAL private equity fund is likely to pick up a 10% stake in Raichur-based Shilpa Medicare for close to Rs 100 crore. The firm, which manufacturers and exports active pharmaceutical ingredients, fine chemicals and herbal products, is expected to make a preferential allotment to the private equity fund, said a person close to the development.

Shares of Shilpa Medicare rose 1% to Rs 351.30 on Thursday. It is learnt that Money Matters Investment was the advisor to the company for the proposed deal.

Hopes of rating upgrades woo funds to hotel stocks
Hotel stocks have not participated in the recent rally in mid- and small-cap stocks, but if brokers are to be believed, these stocks are due for a rerating in the near future. Dealers at institutional broking houses say that fund managers have been enquiring about key stocks in this sector after their quarterly numbers. Many hotels have seen a significant improvement in average room rates (ARRs), along with an increase in occupancy rates. The occupancy rates have improved to 65% in the first quarter for most hotels, compared to 50-52% for the corresponding quarter last year. A mutual fund, which shares its name with a zodiac sign, is said to be a big buyer in Indian Hotels in the past few trading sessions. On Wednesday, the stock closed at Rs 96.15 down nearly 1%. Analysts say that shares of hotel companies traditionally perform well during second and third quarters of the financial year, as tourist activity starts to pick up.

Naresh Gulati: From candle seller to CEO of Rs 440-cr biz





Naresh Gulati
Naresh Gulati
CHANDIGARH: He used to sell decorative candles to the newly-wed couples along the roadside in Chandigarh. "I was never interested in studies, and I always wanted to do something of my own," says Naresh Gulati, who is now the owner of Rs 440-crore Oceanic Consultants Australia Group (OCA Group).

From selling candles to wholesale cloth trading, to cosmetics wholesale and teaching at Aptech Computers to running a computer centre, the 39-year-old tried his hands at many things before homing in on overseas education consultancy business.

The journey has not been easy for Mr Gulati who flunked in class 10 and performed miserably in college. But he is now a guest lecturer on entrepreneurship in leading Australian universities.

Armed with a diploma in electronic data processing, Mr Gulati went to RMIT, Melbourne, in 1995 for a post-graduate course in information systems. However, destiny had scripted a different chapter for him.

"When I reached there, I realised that I had been duped. I was promised a job in Melbourne by my immigration consultant, and that would have helped me clear the loan that I took for going overseas," recalls Mr Gulati. For the next six months, Mr Gulati came in touch with several students who had met the same fate. And this made him think about a fantastic business opportunity-immigration consultancy business.

Mr Gulati came back to Chandigarh in 1996 and started Oceanic Consultants. "Chandigarh had over 110 such agencies at that time, and I was discouraged by many not to venture into this business, says Mr Gulati. "There was a time when I had to choose between two options-paying the rent or using that money for advertising. I chose the latter and the risk paid off,".

Heard on the Street

 

Hinduja Ventures gains as a punter seen active in stock
Shares of Hinduja Ventures have seen a surge in activity, of late, amid the rally in mid- and small-cap shares. The stock, which fell 0.4% to Rs 448.10 on Monday, had surged a little over 30% in the two previous trading sessions, supported by higher-than-average volumes. The buzz is that a Mumbai operator, based out of a western suburb and known for his bearish calls, has been active in the stock, of late. Grapevine is that this operator has been closely tracking the company’s business and new ventures. Brokers said new Trai guidelines recommending an eight-year tax holiday for setting up digital distribution to cable providers and zero customs duty for all digital head-end equipment and set-top boxes for three years are a positive for the company.

Short-selling in Nifty futures could be good for bulls
Nifty August futures closed at an 8-point discount to spot. This seems to indicate that a large section of the market is not convinced about the ongoing rally. Dealers say this could be partly because many institutional players and traders are hedging their long positions in the cash market by short-selling Nifty futures. This could spell good news for bulls, they say. Because if the market sustains the uptrend for a while, most players ‘short’ on the Nifty would be forced to cover up their positions. Already, quite a few bears squared up their short positions on Monday, when the Nifty rose beyond 5474, narrowing the discount between the Nifty futures and the index, which was in excess of 10 points at one stage during the day.

Short-covering lifts Unitech shares
Shares of property developer Unitech rose 6% to close at Rs 90.45 on Monday, after shareholders approved the company’s restructuring scheme. Under this scheme, the company has planned to merge two of its group companies with itself, and hive off its infrastructure business into a separate company. Grapevine is that many traders had short sold Unitech futures, betting that the restructuring plan would not be approved by shareholders. With the outcome turning out to be the opposite, traders were forced to cover their positions. On the BSE, over 93 lakh shares were traded, compared to the two-week average daily volume of 39 lakh shares.

I-banks woo investors into Jyothy Labs’ QIP issue

Merchant bankers are said to have sounded off potential investors for the QIP of Jyothy Laboratories. The book will be open for bidding in a day or two, say dealers tracking the stock. In June, the company board had approved a proposal to raise up to Rs 300 crore through a QIP. The market buzz is that the company will be raising around Rs 250 crore. At Wednesday’s closing price of Rs 279, the company will have to dilute nearly 12% of its equity to raise that amount.
