PremiumMarkets remained cautiously optimistic about the US inflation data; however, a few disappointing quarterly results by heavyweights dragged their stock prices and kept the indices flat for most of the session. Investors hope that lower inflation numbers will give the Fed less incentive to resort to further rate hikes.
The key benchmarks of the domestic equity markets ended flat amid the improved market sentiment after the news of ease in the April inflation of the US. However, a few stocks with disappointing quarterly results dragged the market with indices experiencing a minor fall.

The latest tariff hike by India’s direct-to-home (DTH) operators are likely to help them log a 6-8% growth in revenue to ₹19,500 crore in fiscal 2024, according to analytics firm Crisil. This would account for around 95% of the pre-pandemic fiscal 2020 levels.
However, net subscriber growth is anticipated to remain stagnant in the medium term due to the rising popularity of digital platforms, Doordarshan Free Dish, and competition from cable providers.
The ongoing recovery in the DTH sector comes after the amended New Tariff Order implementation on 1 February 2023, leading to tariff hikes. Over the past three fiscals, there was a regulatory constraint on hiking tariffs even as subscriptions declined. (Read More)
A cash crunch-driven surge in funding costs in Indian money market to a five-week high may deter the nation’s central bank from hiking benchmark policy rates.
The weighted average call rate, an overnight funding cost rate the central bank monitors, was at 6.78% on Wednesday, above the upper band of the Reserve Bank of India’s interest rate corridor, of 6.75%.
The higher overnight rate is almost equivalent to a rate hike, even though the RBI paused in the April policy, according to Kaushik Das, chief India economist at Deutsche Bank AG. That may mean there is no justification for more hikes with the April inflation print also likely to sharply ease, Das said.
Excess cash that banks park with the RBI has dwindled to 788 billion rupees, from as high as 9 trillion rupees in 2022, driving up the funding costs. However, the liquidity crunch may ease soon as the central bank’s dollar purchases in the forex market is adding cash and its dividend payment to the government is due. (Bloomberg)

SoftBank Group Corp.’s Vision Fund unit reported a record annual loss after a recent global stock market rebound failed to outweigh three straight quarters of hefty writedowns.
The Vision Fund unit lost ¥4.3 trillion ($32 billion) in the year ended March, compared with a ¥2.6 trillion loss the previous year. It was the segment’s biggest loss since founder Masayoshi Son launched his first Saudi and Abu Dhabi-backed fund in 2017.
The Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark for tech stock performance, rallied 20% during the March quarter, lifting share prices for some of SoftBank’s biggest investments. Coupang Inc. gained around 9% and Didi Global Inc. about 20% during the period. But most of the Vision Fund portfolio firms are still reeling from the brunt of last year’s stock market collapse.
Many of the privately-held companies that SoftBank’s invested in are not yet profitable, while the IPO market remains lackluster. “I remain cautious about the rest of the year, and private companies could continue to drag down valuations," said Victor Galliano, an independent analyst who publishes on Smartkarma.

Apple Inc. is now alone among global smartphone brands without a foldable device in its portfolio, putting it on the sidelines of a trend that promises to generate tens of billions of dollars in coming years.
With Alphabet Inc.’s Google launching the Pixel Fold at an event Wednesday, every major brand running the Android operating system has now adopted the form factor. And though Apple began early work on a foldable iPhone years ago, it’s shown little interest in racing a product to market.
The approach isn’t unusual for Apple, which often takes its time and then jumps into an established category with a more polished product. That was the case with the iPhone itself in 2007. The company also has less incentive to tinker with its current iPhone lineup since it dominates the market for premium smartphones.
But Apple could soon find itself years behind rivals in a promising segment. Though foldable phones are still a tiny fraction of the market, they command higher prices and open the door to new features, helping lower-tier brands step up into the premium range. Market observers expect this segment to be the fastest-growing area in an otherwise shrinking smartphone field. (Bloomberg)

Jinesh Joshi - Research Analyst, Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt Ltd on Nazara Technologies (NAZARA IN): Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs566 | TP: Rs804
Q4FY23 Result Update - Near-term headwinds emerge
Quick Pointers:
§ Kiddopia’s subscriber base remains intact at 311,578 despite seasonality with an EBITDA margin of 18.4%.
§ EBITDA margin of Animal Jam improves to 11.6% in 4QFY23.
We cut our FY24E/FY25E EPS estimates by 7%/9% amid 1) ban on real money games (RMG) in TN (region contributes ~20% to RMG’s top-line) 2) loss of client in Ad-Tech segment and 3) continued margin pressure in the Nodwin business. While there are near term headwinds we believe benefits of price hike taken in Kiddopia will be evident in FY24E & beyond, as new subscribers come on board while ongoing investment in creating new IPs within Nodwin business (Playground/Valorant/Kingfisher India Premiership etc) can result in non-linear EBITDA growth over time. Further, Nazara has cash balance of Rs6.2bn which can act as growth capital to expand inorganically. Overall, we expect sales/PAT CAGR of 27%/50% respectively over FY23-25E and retain our BUY rating with a DCF based TP of Rs804 (earlier Rs872).
Param Desai - Senior Research Analyst, Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt Ltd on Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (DRRD IN): Rating: REDUCE | CMP: Rs4,867 | TP: Rs4,500
Q4FY23 Result Update - Weak base business profitability
Quick Pointers:
§ Profitability was aided by divestment income (Rs2.65bn)
§ US sales was down QoQ on account of lower gRevlimid sales
Dr. Reddy’s (DRRD) Q4FY23 reported profitability was in line with our estimate. Adjusted for one-time divestment income (Rs2.65bn), EBITDA was 20% below our estimates impacted by lower GMs and higher overheads. Our FY24E and FY25E EPS stands reduced by 10% and 6% as we factor in lower margins ex of gRevlimid. We downgrade stock to Reduce from Buy with revised TP of Rs4,500/share (Rs4,900 earlier). At CMP, DRRD is trading at expensive valuations of 24x P/E on FY25E adjusted for gRevlimid. Any big ticket ANDA approvals and sharp recovery in base business margins are key risks to our call.

Dr V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services: Two important news that market players have been closely monitoring - the US inflation print and Karnataka exit poll results - that came yesterday, are unlikely to impact the market significantly. Both were somewhat on expected lines. The US CPI inflation has eased to 4.9 percent YoY as the markets expected and the exit polls indicate a slight edge for the Congress, which also is not surprising.
The decline in bond yields in the US after the release of inflation data indicates that the market expects the Fed to pause in June.
An important data from the Q4 results yesterday is the robust order inflows for L&T. This indicates that the capex in the economy is gaining momentum. Capital goods segment will do well, going forward.
FPI inflows continue unabated touching ₹19865 crores in May as per depository data. This will impart resilience to the market even if there is profit booking.
Canara Bank Ltd investors are nervous. The spectre of the potential impact of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) norms is a cause of concern even as March quarter (Q4FY23) results, announced on Monday, were largely in line.
In the earnings call, the bank’s management said it has assessed about ₹42,000 crore ECL provisioning over five years, which comes to around ₹8,000-8,500 crore a year. This is based on the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) draft ECL guidelines. Some analysts reckon the estimated amount is higher. Note that higher provisioning could hit the bank’s return ratios. Another concern is that if these norms are implemented, it may warrant capital dilution in the near term. (Read More)
Vodafone Idea Ltd is expected to unveil a revival plan within a month following the government’s acquisition of equity in the struggling telecom company, telecom secretary K. Rajaraman said in an interview. The return of Aditya Birla group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla to the board of the telco is a positive step, and Vodafone Idea is in talks with financial institutions to raise the capital needed for the company’s 5G rollout plans, Rajaraman said.
The telecom department is preparing for the next spectrum auction in the second half of FY24, which may include the unsold spectrum from previous auctions and new bands, he said.

Indian rupee is poised to open higher on Thursday, after largely in-line U.S. inflation data made it more likely the U.S. Federal Reserve will not raise rates at its next meeting.
Non-deliverable forwards indicate rupee will open at around 81.94 to the U.S. dollar compared with 81.9850 in the previous session. Asian peers were mostly higher, but the offshore Chinese yuan weakened to 6.9450 to the dollar.
"We should open a bit lower (on USD/INR), but difficult to see any major move," a spot trader at a private sector bank said.
"I am watching the yuan and that combined with how (USD/INR) has been, downside looks limited."
The dollar dropped against its major peers, U.S. yields dropped and U.S. equities rose after the U.S. consumer inflation rate rose by 4.9%, the lowest in two years and marking the tenth straight month of decline. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a 5% print. (Reuters)

The company’s performance is likely to have been driven by strong growth seen in the key US markets. North American generic sales contributed 40% to overall grew 27 % year-on-year. This primarily was on account of new product launches and favourable forex rate improvement partly offset by price erosion, the company. (Read More)
