Harsha Engineers makes a bumper listing with 36% premium

Harsha Engineers International clocked gains on listing as expected before rising further but most analysts advise booking profits amid market turmoil. The stock started off the first day's trade with a whopping 36 percent premium over issue price despite nervousness in equity markets. It climbed further six percent as the day progressed to take total gains to 43 percent over issue price.

Analysts said high premium at listing is justified with the IPO generating stronger than expected demand as qualified institutional investors' portion got subscribed over 178 times. Also, the ask price is fairly valued compared to industry peers.

"We recommend booking partial profits while remaining can be kept for the long term as the company is a comprehensive solution provider offering diversified suite of precision engineering products across geographies and end-user industries and has long-standing relationships with leading clientele," said Astha Jain, senior research analyst at Hem Securities.

Rajnath Yadav, research analyst at Choice Broking, urged investors to exit given the market volatility. Although Prashanth Tapse, senior vice president of research at Mehta Equities, sounded "very optimistic" on Harsha Engineers with its dominant position, he too advised booking profits in the current market scenario. "Risk takers can hold with a long-term perspective," he added.

Santosh Meena, head of research at Swastika Investmart, termed the company as a proxy play on India becoming a global manufacturing hub: "Those who applied for listing gains can maintain a stop loss at Rs 400. Our recommendation for investors is to hold the allotted shares and long-term investors can accumulate the stock on dips."

Harsha Engineers, which is the largest manufacturer of precision bearing cages in India, raised Rs 755 crore from the public issue with a strong 74.70 times subscription during September 14-16. Of the total issue size, Rs 455 crore was raised through fresh issuance which will be used in repayment of debts, capital expenditure towards the purchase of machinery, and existing production facilities.

Sensex was down 860.62 points or 1.48 percent at 57,238.30, and the Nifty down 285.50 points or 1.65 percent at 17041.80 following weak global cues. This is the fourth straight day of selling on Dalal Street.

RBI set for fourth straight rate hike to quell inflation, say experts

  Chief Economist at Bank of Baroda, said inflation in India remains high at around 7 per cent and is unlikely to come down any time soon. "This means that a rate hike is given. The quantum is what the market would be interested in. While a hike of 25-35 bps would have signalled that the RBI is confident that the worst of inflation is over, the recent developments in the forex market could prompt a higher quantum of 50 bps to stay on track with other markets so as to retain investor interest," he said

The government has tasked the RBI to ensure the retail inflation remains at 4 per cent, with a margin of 2 per cent on either side. Dhruv Agarwala, Group CEO, Housing.com, said reining in inflation will remain the RBI's top concern amid resilient economic expansion and robust credit growth.

"Any hike in rates would result in banks increasing home loan interest rates, too. But, we are of the opinion that its impact would not be significant as demand for property remains robust. Demand is only going to accelerate further during this festive season," he said. Global commodity prices have remained volatile after their fall from historical highs in June.

SBI in a special report said a 50 basis points hike in repo rate "looks imminent". "We expect the peak repo rate in the cycle at 6.25 per cent. A final rate hike of 35 bps is expected in December policy," it said.

Aditi Nayar, Chief Economist, ICRA, too expects another 'new normal' 50 bps rate hike from the MPC in September 2022. With inflation expected to soften in October 2022, the December policy decision is likely to be highly data dependent, she added.

RBI set for fourth straight rate hike to quell inflation, say experts

 The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may take cues from its global counterparts, including the US Federal Reserve, to raise interest rate for the fourth time in a row on Friday to tame stubborn inflation.
The RBI, which has since May raised the short-term lending rate (repo) by 140 basis points (bps), may again go for a 50-bps increase to take it to a three-year high of 5.9 per cent, say experts.
The central bank had raised the repo rate by 40 bps in May and 50 bps each in June and August. The present rate is 5.4 per cent. The consumer price index (CPI) based retail inflation, which had started showing signs of moderation since May, has again firmed up to 7 per cent in August. The RBI takes into account retail inflation while framing its bi-monthly monetary policy.
The RBI Governor-headed Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is scheduled to start its three-day deliberations on Wednesday. The decision of the rate-setting panel would be announced on Friday (September 30). The US Fed delivered third consecutive rate hike after it raised the rates by 75 bps to take the target range to 3 - 3.25 per cent. The central banks of the UK and the EU have also gone for rate hikes to tame inflation.
Hindustan Unilever (HUL) added Rs 35,467.08 crore, taking its valuation to Rs 6,29,525.99 crore. ITC's valuation jumped Rs 20,381.61 crore to Rs 4,29,198.61 crore and that of Bajaj Finance climbed Rs 13,128.73 crore to Rs 4,54,477.56 crore.
