Sensex Today | Share Market Live Updates: BLOCK DEAL | 18 lakh shares of Lemon Tree Hotels change hands; stock up 2%
ECD companies in Q1FY24 saw healthy growth in revenue and profit, driven by B2B segment growth. However, B2C demand remained subdued due to factors such as a general consumption slowdown and relatively weak summer conditions. Despite short-term challenges, the industry remains optimistic about demand recovery, anticipating a strong H2 recovery in rural markets and stability in the input cost environment. Prospects remain positive on the industry’s medium- to long-term prospects given macro tailwinds, low penetration for some of the categories, and category expansion opportunities for companies. Upcoming festive season is the key to watch for a boost in demand for consumer applications. Our coverage universe includes Havells, V-Guard and Crompton consumers and we remain positive on the same.

We believe that the valuation of Mid & Smallcaps remains appealing when compared to the trends of the past seven years. Specifically, Smallcaps appear to be even more attractive than Midcaps in the current scenario. However, considering the overall market consolidation, it’s not an ideal environment for investing in high-risk categories, leading to mixed opinions. Our view is that India is now more of a stock to sector play. We anticipate that the category as a whole will outperform in the medium to long term. Although there has been strong performance in the short term by Mid & Smallcaps, sustaining this in the near term may pose a challenge.

Sensex Today | Stock Market Live Updates: Morning view by Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
DIIs have bought stocks worth Rs 5934 crores in the cash market during the last three trading days of September. Retail also is buying, and this ‘ buy on dips’ strategy has worked. The rally in IT stocks has contributed to the resilience of the market. IT and the fairly valued banking stocks, particularly the leading private banks, have the potential to support the market. But investors have to be cautious about the headwinds, particularly the rising crude.

Pre-open session: Sensex slips 30 points; Nifty below 19,585
Markets are likely to wobble in early Wednesday trades amid a mixed trend in Gift Nifty index after US markets faltered in overnight trades. A fresh spike in US 10-year and 2-year treasury yields could have a rub-off effect on global equities, including India, as FIIs in such circumstances flee emerging markets to park their funds in safe haven US securities. On the other hand, FIIs selling spree continued as they sold to the tune of Rs 1,725 crore in yesterday’s trade, after having sold shares worth Rs 20,620.70 crore in August. Besides, a surge in global crude oil prices after Saudi Arabia and Russia announced further curb on production could dampen sentiment.
