Triggers for Tata Motors Share Price Fall

Connecting Tata Motors share price drop with Q4 results 2024 declared on Friday last week, Chirag Jain, Senior Research Analyst at Emkay Global Financial Services said, “Tata Motors Q4 results 2024 were muted with limited margin expansion across businesses despite higher volumes. The company remains cautiously optimistic across businesses, with H1 expected to be weaker and the premium luxury segment seen as resilient amid overall emerging demand concerns. While deleveraging progress continues, we believe the best may be behind for all businesses amid i) declining order book, normalizing mix, and higher customer acquisition costs at JLR, with FCF generation to normalize; ii) flattish growth outlook for domestic CV space; and iii) moderating India PV outlook (though TTMT to outperform on new launches). FY25E/26E EPS is largely unchanged (we build-in console. revenue/EBITDA CAGR of 7/8% over FY24-26E).”

Expecting more downsides in Tata Motors’ share, the Emkay Global expert said that Tata Motors’ share price may drop further to the tune of ₹950 apiece.

While there is no doubt that TTMT has delivered an extremely robust performance across its key segments in FY24, there are clear headwinds ahead that are likely to hurt its performance. We have lowered our EPS estimates by 3%/5% for FY25/FY26. The stock trades at 18x/15.6x FY25E/FY26E consolidated EPS and 6.2x/5.3x EV/EBITDA. Reiterate Neutral with our FY26E SOTP-based TP of ₹955.”

Nifty 50 and Sensex today: What we can expect from the Indian stock market on April 29th.

Nifty 50 and Sensex today: The Indian standard index is out to a strong start, according to Gift Nifty’s trends. The Gift Nifty was trading at a premium of around 100 points over the previous closing of the Nifty futures, at 22,655.

The Monday opening of the Sensex and Nifty 50 Indian stock market indices is anticipated to be higher due to favorable indications from the global market.

The Indian benchmark index is out to a strong start, according to Gift Nifty’s trends. The Gift Nifty was trading at a premium of around 100 points over the previous closing of the Nifty futures, at 22,655.

The domestic equity indices closed more than half a percent down on Friday, ending a five-day winning streak.

The Nifty 50 closed 150.40 points, or 0.67%, lower at 22,419.95, while the Sensex dropped 609.28 points to conclude at 73,730.16.

On the daily chart, Nifty 50 developed a long negative candle on Friday right next to the long bull candle on Thursday.

At the highs, this indicates the formation of a bearish dark cloud cover-type candle pattern. The fact that Nifty pulled back in the following session after decisively breaking over the critical downside gap barrier of April 15 around 22,500 levels on Thursday may not be a good sign for bulls, according to Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.

On the weekly chart, a little, positive candle with a long upper shadow formed. The market appears to have established a lower high this week following a string of higher high patterns.

“The Nifty’s short-term trend appears to have turned negative following a sensible recovery from the lows. The 22,300 mark serves as immediate support, and any weakness below it could lead to further falls in the future, according to Shetti.

What to anticipate from Bank Nifty and Nifty 50 today is as follows:

Nifty 50 Prediction

On April 26, the Nifty 50 index had a severe U-turn to the downside, ending the day 150 points lower.

“Throughout the session, selling pressure on the Nifty persisted as the index was unable to hold above the critical threshold of 22,500. A heavy cloud cover pattern on the daily chart suggests a possible bearish reversal. The Nifty could extend its losses towards 22,000 below the immediate support level of 22,300, according to Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.

On the other hand, he believes the level of 22,500 might act as a technical resistance for the Nifty.

Bank Nifty Prediction

On the daily charts, the Bank Nifty index formed a bearish candlestick pattern as it fell 294 points to close at 48,201 on Friday.

“Despite selling pressure from higher levels, the Bank Nifty index held onto the critical 488,000 support level.” Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities, stated that “as long as it stays above this level, where significant open interest is concentrated on the put side, the bullish sentiment will persist.”

The immediate barrier is currently at 48,600, and Shah noted that a significant advance over this level may open the door for new all-time highs in the index.

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

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.

“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.

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.

Today's stock market

Today’s stock market: SpiceJet share price today opened upside and went on to touch an intraday high of ₹71.90 apiece on NSE

Stock market today: Amid the bull trend in the Indian stock market, SpiceJet shares witnessed strong buying interest during Friday deals. SpiceJet share price today opened upside and went on to touch an intraday high of ₹71.90 apiece, logging around 13 percent intraday rise against its Thursday close of ₹63.63 apiece on NSE. While climbing to the intraday high, the aviation company’s stock came close to its existing 52-week high of ₹77.50 that it had achieved on 5th February 2024.

According to stock market experts, the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) has released the January 2024 data in which it has reported that the low-cost carrier has managed to hold on to its market share in January 2024.

The DGCA data shows that SpiceJet has managed to hold on to its market share at 5.6 percent in January 2024. The DGCA data also reported that passenger traffic surged by 4.7 percent in January 2024.

DGCA data in focus

Speaking on the reason for the rise in SpiceJet shares, Avinash Gorakshkar, Head of Research at Profitmart Securities said, “The aviation stock is rising after the release of DGCA January data. In this data, SpiceJet has been reported holding on to its market share of 5.6 percent and the market is expecting benefits for the listing aviation company after DGCA reports a 4.7 percent rise in the number of flight passengers in January 2024.”

Gorakshkar said that the trigger is for the short term, and profit-booking on higher levels may trigger if there is no rebound after the current retracement from intraday’s high.

SpiceJet share price target

On the outlook of SpiceJet shares, Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking said, “SpiceJet shares are currently trading in the ₹60 to ₹75 per share range. the aviation stock may become highly bullish on breaching the upper hurdle of the current range whereas it may go further down if it breaches the lower support of its current range. So, a bullish or bearish trend can be assumed on the breakage of either side of the current range. SpiceJet shareholders are advised to hold the scrip maintaining stop loss below ₹60.”
