Canara Bank Share Price Live Updates: Canara Bank trading at ₹118.65, up 4.77% from yesterday’s ₹113.25

Canara Bank Share Price Live Updates: Canara Bank share price is at ₹118.65 and has crossed the key daily support price level of ₹543.87. This indicates that stock is experiencing significant selling pressure and the price can decline further.

Earlier this year on April 19, 2024 the public sector lender had set Wednesday, 15th May 2024 as the record date for determining entitlement of equity shareholders for the purpose of split of existing equity shares of the bank. The stock split arrangement was such that 1 equity share having face value of Rs. 10 each, will be subdivided into 5 equity shares having face value of Rs. 2 each.

A stock split makes the shares more affordable for retail investors, and the move is likely to increase trading activity on the counter. This could be particularly beneficial for smaller investors who may have been previously deterred by the higher share price.

Moreover, the stock split has the potential to broaden the bank’s retail investor base. Prior to the split, a significant portion of the bank’s ownership was held by a relatively small number of High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs), including notable investors like Rekha Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. 

It’s important to note that a stock split differs from a bonus share issue. In a stock split, existing shares are divided into multiple shares with smaller face values, while in a bonus share issue, additional shares are distributed to existing shareholders based on their current holdings. Therefore, while a stock split increases the number of shares outstanding, it does not directly impact the share capital of the company.

Canara Bank recorded a 18.33 per cent year-on-year growth to Rs 3,757 crore in January-March quarter of fiscal year 2023-24 (Q4FY24). The bank’s net interest income (NII), increased by 11.18 per cent to Rs 9,580 crore during the fourth quarter of FY24. The bank registered NII of Rs 8,617 crore in the same period of the previous year.
At 11:17 AM; the stock of the company was trading 4.55 per cent higher at Rs 118.40 per share. By comparison the S&P BSE Sensex was down mariginally by 0.04 per cent.

Why did Bajaj Finance shares fall 8% in Q4 even though PAT and NII increased by double digits year over year?

by Leave a Comment

Friday’s intraday trading saw an 8% decline of Bajaj Finance shares. They underperformed the benchmark Sensex, which gained almost 24% during the same period, with gains of only approximately 20% for the past year (through April 25).

The day after the company’s Q4 results were disclosed, Friday, April 26, saw a nearly 8% decline in Bajaj Finance shares. Following a previous closing of ₹7,293.90, Bajaj Finance shares began at ₹7,008.60. However, they plummeted as high as 7.8% to ₹6,728 on the BSE. At ₹6,743.45 a share, Bajaj Finance shares had a 7.55 percent decrease in trading at about noon. At that point, the equity benchmark Sensex was down 0.26 percent, trading at 74,147.56.

Why did Bajaj Finance shares tank?

For Q4FY24, Bajaj Finance reported a growth in net interest income and a solid profit. Nevertheless, it seems that investors were alarmed by the lender’s Q4 net interest margin shrinkage.

Thursday, April 25, after market hours, Bajaj Finance announced a 21% YoY increase in consolidated net profit of ₹3,825 crore for Q4FY24.

In Q4 of FY24, its net interest income (NII) increased by 28% YoY to ₹8,013 crore from ₹6,254 crore in Q4 of FY23.

Nonetheless, compared to Q3, the lender’s net interest margin (NIM) decreased by 21 basis points (bps) in Q4.

Non-performing assets, or gross NPA, were 0.85% and 0.37 percent, respectively, as of March 31, 2024, compared to 0.94 and 0.34 percent, on the same date in 2023.

As of the close on April 25, Bajaj Finance’s share price has gained about 20 percent over the last year, underperforming the benchmark Sensex, which has gained about 24 percent in the same period.

Motilal Oswal downgrades Bajaj Finance stock

Despite a strong PAT CAGR of almost 25% over FY24-FY26E and a respectable RoA (return on assets) and RoE (return on equity) of 4.3% and 22%, respectively, in FY26E, brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services downgraded Bajaj Finance stock to a “neutral” after the Q4 results, pegging a target price of ₹7,800.

“Management’s guidance for FY25 is below its long-term guidance on multiple metrics such as AUM growth, credit costs, RoA, and RoE,” Motilal Oswal stated.

“Up until now, the secular growth segments have been Bajaj Finance’s main product categories. Though it has a well-diversified product mix, its entry into several more recent items, including vehicles, tractors, CVs, and even MFI, could (in the future) render its growth subject to cyclicality, according to the brokerage firm.

But Kotak Institutional Equities, which has a target price of ₹7,800, has stuck with its ‘add’ call on the company.

The brokerage firm stated that Bajaj Finance’s Q4FY24 earnings were consistent with the company’s strong 34% loan growth at the end of the year, despite a low base and NIM compression.

Man City humbles Brighton to keep pressure on Arsenal.

“The normalization in business matrices (growth in the mid-20s, NIM compression due to rising rates and shifting business mix, a reversion in credit costs albeit improving operating leverage) will put near-term pressure and drive earnings cuts, even as overall performance remains healthy,” stated Kotak.

“Indian markets could open higher, in line with mostly higher Asian markets today and despite mostly lower US markets on April 19,” stated HDFC Securities’ Head of Retail Research, Deepak Jasani.

“Nifty finished April 19 higher after snapping a four-day losing run. Nifty was up 151.2 points, or 0.69%, at 22,147 at the close.

Sensex Today Live Updates: On April 8, provisional data from the NSE revealed that domestic institutional investors (DIIs) purchased ₹3,470.54 crore worth of stocks, while foreign institutional investors (FIIs) net sold shares worth ₹684.68 crore.

Sensex Live Updates for Today: Ahead of this week’s U.S. inflation report and a significant meeting of the European Central Bank, global stocks were neutral on Tuesday. Meanwhile, industrial metals prices continued their current upward trend, supported by prospects of a global manufacturing comeback.

Early trading saw a 0.1% decline in the pan-European STOXX 600 index, despite muted Wall Street futures.

According to Dan Boardman-Weston, CIO at BRI Wealth Management, “stock markets seem to be in a holding pattern at the moment and I think that will continue until we get more clarity on inflation and the state of the economy.”

Indian stock market: Over the weekend, 7 significant factors affected the market: the Gift Nifty, US nonfarm payrolls, and oil prices.

“Markets are waiting to see what the inflation print is and how that changes expectations for rate cuts going forward.” This year, expectations for rate decreases in the US have decreased due to strong economic statistics and persistent inflation readings.

Instead of the 150 basis points (bps) that traders were pricing in at the beginning of the year, they are now pricing in about 62 bps of cuts from the Federal Reserve in 2024, which implies a two or three-quarter-point reduction.

Similar events are taking place in Europe, where investors will be closely examining President Christine Lagarde’s remarks ahead of Thursday’s ECB policy statement, hoping to find any indications that rates may be lowered in June.

As shares in the Asia-Pacific region increased, industrial metals prices continued to rise on Tuesday amid hopes of a global manufacturing resurgence.

The Asia-Pacific equities MSCI broadest index outside of Japan had a 0.6% increase. Nikkei 225 in Japan gained 1.1%.

The most traded May copper futures in Shanghai reached a record high, rising more than 1%, while the metals zinc and tin reached multi-month highs and aluminum closed just below the two-year high set on Monday. Despite being hit hard by China’s real estate slump, iron ore prices in Singapore remained above $100 per tonne.

According to Vishnu Varathan, head of economics at Mizuho Bank in Singapore, “It’s pretty much a China bet.”

According to figures released on Monday, German industrial production increased in February more than anticipated. Data from last week indicated that American manufacturing was expanding for the first time in a year and a half. In March, China’s manufacturing output increased for the first time in six months.

According to BRI’s Boardman-Weston, central bank purchases and increased geopolitical concerns helped spot gold reach yet another record high. “I think the rally may continue in the short term,” he stated.

Angel One’s Fund Raise: Angel One, a prominent financial services company, successfully raised ₹1,500 crore through Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). This funding will support the company’s growth plans and meet its financial obligations.

Insights into Chemical and Cement Sectors: Experts from Prabhudas Lilladher provided insights into the chemical and cement sectors. They anticipate challenges for chemical companies due to various factors including demand pressure and competition from China. However, they expect a modest recovery in the near term. In the cement sector, they foresee strong volume growth for certain companies despite weak pricing, indicating potential opportunities for investors.

The credit-deposit (CD) ratio, which signifies the proportion of a bank’s deposit base used for loans, stood at 80% – the highest since 2005, the earliest year for which this ratio is available, according to RBI data.

Sensex Today Live: Are IDBI Bank’s potential suitors good enough? RBI is checking

Sensex Today Live: The protracted process of IDBI Bank’s privatization appears to be gaining momentum, with the central bank scrutinizing the eligibility of prospective bidders.

Initial bids for the government’s majority stake in IDBI Bank have been submitted by entities including CSB Bank, backed by Prem Watsa, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and Emirates NBD, as per media reports. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is presently assessing whether these potential bidders meet its ‘fit and proper criteria’ for operating a financial services institution, as informed by two individuals familiar with the situation. 

Sensex Today Live: Prabhudas Lilladher, Co. Head of Research – Institutional Equities, Swarnendu Bhushan, believes that the Q4 earnings preview indicates an operationally better quarter for oil and gas businesses.

Operating Profit Projections: The operating profit for the Indian Oil & Gas sector is anticipated to see a 6% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) improvement, reaching ₹97,800 crore. This indicates a positive trajectory for the sector’s financial performance.

Upstream Companies Outlook: Companies like ONGC and OIL India are expected to witness marginal improvements in production. Their net crude realization is projected to be around US$77.5/bbl after accounting for windfall tax. Similarly, gas realization rates are anticipated to remain stable QoQ at US$6.5/mmBtu.

City Gas Distribution (CGD) Companies: CGD companies are expected to experience notable year-on-year (YoY) volume growth ranging from 7% to 12%. This growth is expected to contribute to strong EBITDA (standard cubic meter) amidst a decline in spot LNG prices.

Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs): OMCs are forecasted to report moderate Gross Refining Margins (GRMs) and Gross Marketing Margins (GMMs). Despite this, there’s a positive outlook for Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), with expectations of improved QoQ results driven by stronger refining margins.

Analyst Recommendations: Various analyst recommendations have been provided for key players in the sector:

  • RIL: Analysts suggest a downgrade from ‘Accumulate’ to ‘Hold’ rating.
  • GAIL: Downgrade from ‘REDUCE’ to ‘SELL’ rating.
  • HPCL: Rerate from ‘SELL’ to ‘REDUCE’ post-correction in stock price.
  • BPCL and IOCL: Recommendations to ‘SELL’ with specific target prices.

Industrial metals prices extended their gains on Tuesday with expectations of a worldwide manufacturing rebound, while Asian shares crept up a little more cautiously ahead of this week’s U.S. inflation data and a crucial European Central Bank meeting.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.2%. Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.6%.

Shanghai copper futures were up 1% at a two-year high and have gained more than 10% in a month. Zinc made a five-month high in Shanghai, where Aluminium made a 22-month peak on Monday.

Chinese stocks have not joined the party, though Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was 1.2% higher in early trade and China proxies such as the Antipodean currencies have been rallying.

For global stock markets, bonds and currencies, the main focus this week is on U.S. inflation data due on Wednesday and the European Central Bank meeting on Thursday.

Expectations for U.S. rate cuts have been evaporating and where in January markets had expected more than 150 basis points in cuts, investors now are not even sure of half that many.

Annualised headline U.S. inflation is seen rising to 3.4% in March from 3.2% a month earlier. U.S. two-year yields, which track short-term interest rate expectations, are their highest since late November at 4.801%, while ten-year yields also hit 2024 highs of 4.46% on Monday.

Why is the Indian stock market gaining today?

According to experts, the market has a favorable undercurrent due to India’s excellent economic prospects. Furthermore, the anticipation of rate decreases in the future months is supporting market mood. Investors are buying Indian equities following the recent correction, as they remain optimistic about the Indian stock market in the medium to long term.

V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist of Geojit Financial Services, stated that the market has a bullish undertone and is gaining speed.

“The market has been showing signs of consolidation but the spurt in Nifty by 322 points on the last 2two trading days indicates that the upward momentum can be sustained,” Vijayakumar, the market analyst, said.

Vijayakumar stated that several mutual funds have begun restricting redemptions from smallcap schemes due to worries about frothy valuations in this segment, which could result in increased flows of funds into largecaps. This would lift the huge caps.

According to brokerage firm ICICI Direct, the Nifty 50 may continue to trade on a positive bias, with immediate support near 22,000.

The brokerage firm anticipates the index to continue its northward trek and gradually approach 22,700 in the next weeks.

“Empirically, in General Election year, the index has a tendency to bottom out in the first quarter of the calendar year, followed by a rally (minimum 14 per cent rally from lows) towards the General Election outcome in each of seven instances over past three decades,” ICICI Director said in a statement.

“In the current context, we expect the index to continue the same rhythm because it already went through a corrective phase in the first quarter and built a stronger base. As a result, the election outcome laid the foundation for the second leg of a bull surge to 23,400. In the process, 21,900 would serve as immediate support, which we intend to maintain,” the brokerage business stated.

The Sensex and Nifty 50 both saw remarkable gains of 29% and 25%, respectively, in the previous fiscal year (FY24). Experts believe that these indexes will continue to expand strongly in the coming fiscal year, despite persistent obstacles.

“Considering the consistent earnings growth and an easing interest rate environment, the Nifty 50 may deliver a healthy double-digit return in the low to mid-teens,” Naveen Kulkarni, Chief Investment Officer at Axis Securities PMS, told Mint.

Niraj Kumar, Chief Investment Officer at Future Generali India Life Insurance Company expects FY25 to be driven by sustained corporate earnings growth, policy continuity and a favourable geopolitical landscape and any disappointment on these fronts may have negative ramifications on the market.

Paytm down

In Short

  • Stock market indices opened lower on Thursday
  • Nifty Bank, Financial Services and IT traded lower
  • Paytm shares fell nearly 3% ahead of RBI deadline for PPBL

Benchmark stock market indices opened marginally lower on Thursday and continued their sluggish run.

The S&P BSE Sensex was down 67.80 points at 72,694.09 at 9.44 am, while the NSE Nifty50 fell 10.40 points to 21,987.30. The domestic-focused broader market indices rose, but remain under pressure amid sustained profit booking.

Among sectoral indices, heavyweights Nifty Bank and Nifty Financial Services traded 0.5 per cent lower, while Nifty IT fell 0.3 per cent. Nifty Realty fell over 1 per cent and was the top loser among sectoral indices.

On the other hand, Nifty Oil & Gas and Nifty Media gained over 1.2 per cent.

The top five gainers on the Nifty50 were Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, Hero MotoCorp, M&M and Hindalco. Meanwhile, the top drags on the 50-share index were JSW Steel, Tata Steel, LTIM, TCS and Bajaj Finance.

It is worth noting that shares of digital payments firm Paytm fell nearly 3 per cent in early trade ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s March 15 deadline for its associate, Paytm Payments Bank, to wind down some key operations.

Deven Mehata, research analyst at Choice Broking, said, “The market had a severe downturn yesterday, as Nifty closed almost at its daily low below 22,000 levels following an abrupt sell-off from higher levels.”

“It is highly recommended that traders trade with extreme caution and strictly adhere to stop-loss levels. If Nifty continues to fall toward the strong support level of 21,800, investors might view this as a good time to make new medium- to long-term investments,” he added.
