INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

 

The economy grew 4.7 %in 2013/14, marking a second straight year of sub-5 % growth – the worst slowdown in more than a quarter of a century. The data was below an official estimate of 4.9 % annual growth and compared with 4.5 % in the last fiscal year. However, the current account deficit narrowed sharply to $ 32.4 billion at 1.7 % of gross domestic product, in 2013/14 from a record high of $ 98.8 billion or 4.7 %, the year before. A sharp fall in gold imports due to restrictions on overseas purchases and muted import of capital goods helped shrink the current account deficit.

 

Online retailer Flipkart has acquired fashion portal Myntra as it prepares to battle with the rapidly expanding India arm of the global e-commerce giant Amazon. The company raised $ 210 million from Russian Investment firm DST Global which has also invested in companies like Facebook, Twitter and Alibaba Group.

 

General Motors will start exporting vehicles from its Talegaon plant near Pune in the second half of 2014. GM was one of the few global carmakers that was using its India plant only for the domestic market.

 

Google has overtaken Apple as the world’s top brand in terms of value, according to global market research agency Millward Brown. Google’s brand value shot up 40 % in a year to $ 158.84 billion. The top 10 of the 100 slots were dominated by US companies.

 

Infosys lost another heavy weight when B G Srinivas, a board member put in his papers. He is the third CEO-hopeful to quit after Chairman N R Narayana Murthy’s return to the company – Ashok Vemuri and V Balakrishnan being the other two. While Vemuri went on to lead IGate, Balakrishnan joined politics.

 

Naresh Goyal – promoted Jet Airways posted biggest quarterly loss – Rs 2153.37 crore – in the three months ended March 31, mainly because it has been offering discounts to passengers to fill planes.

 

William S Pinckney – Chairman and CEO of Amway India was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Police in connection with a complaint against the direct selling firm. This is the second time that he has been taken into custody. A year, ago the Kerala Police had arrested Pinckney and two company directors on charges of financial irregularities.

 

China has told its state-owned enterprises to sever links with American consulting firms after the United States charged five Chinese military officers wih hacking US companies. China’s action which targets consultancies like McKinsey & Co. and the Boston Consulting Group, sterns from fears that the first are providing trade secrets to the US governments.

 

India has emerged as a country with some of the highest unregistered businesses in the world. Indonesia has the maximum number of shadow businesses, says a study of 68 countries by Imperial College Business School in London.

 

Pfizer has abandoned its attempt to buy AstraZeneca for nearly $ 118 billion after the latter refused an offer of 55 pounds a share.

OUTLOOK

 

Inspite of the depressed economic conditions during the past two years, the prospects for the medium to long term looks promising. A new Government would be assuming office shortly and it is expected that major policy reforms would be undertaken with all seriousness.

 

Lowering of interest rates would give a fillip to the automobile industry. 123 road projects worth Rs. 248 billion were commissioned during 2013-14 and several other projects are on the verge of being commissioned.  Similarly railway infrastructural projects worth Rs. 73 billion were commissioned during 2013- 14. All these projects are expected to lead to large scale activity in the infrastructural sector in the near term. Similarly, several power projects have been commissioned or are expected to be commissioned shortly once the infrastructural bottlenecks are smoothened out. This would inevitably lead to better prospects, mainly for your Company's industrial battery business.

PRESS RELEASE

 

EXIDE: RUNNING ON LOW POWER

 

Given the pressure on volumes, the company will find it difficult to maintain its pricing premium, margins and market share

 

The Exide Industries' stock has been touching 52-week lows in the past week and has lost 19 per cent in a month and a half. The fall is on a poor September quarter performance and earnings downgrades thereafter. Analysts say the company, which saw its volumes fall in the quarter, is losing to Amara Raja.


Given the poor volume growth in the automobile original equipment manufacturer (OEM) space and the muted show in the industrial segment, research houses have cut FY14 earnings estimate 15 per cent. While most have a buy on Raja and Exide, the former is preferred. Exide is trading at 14.6 times its FY15 estimates. Given target upwards of Rs 125 and the steep correction in the stock (Rs 114), there is limited upside in a year. The trigger will be volume gains and margin improvement.

 

More price cuts?


Analysts say unless the company cuts the premium it charges on batteries (10 per cent compared to Amara Raja), it could lose more market share. Joseph George and Kevin Mehta of IIFL Institutional Equities say given the inefficiencies in its cost structure and Raja's increasing brand recall, Exide may have to settle for lower pricing premium and, hence, lower earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) margin than Raja’s. The company has been focusing on margins and has taken a series of price rises in a year.


However, after four rises, five to seven per cent each since the start of November 2012, the company dropped prices two to five per cent at the start of November 2013. Both have been raising prices on higher lead prices and falling rupee. The likely causes for the recent price cut by Exide could be the rupee recovery, lower lead prices year-on-year or market-share loss.


In a recent con call, the management said the market share in the auto segment was intact and it would like to retain its share without compromising on margins. IIFL analysts, however, said the market-share loss forced the company to cut prices. While the firm did not comment on its future pricing strategy, what would come to its aid is the stable rupee and the 3.5 per cent to four per cent fall in lead prices year-on-year (sequentially flat).
