March Quarter suggests recovery:
The March quarter results suggest earnings recovery gathering pace while overall MSCI India 4Q results came largely in-line with consensus. The top line improved meaningfully this quarter which gives confidence to the bulls.
Sales (ex-financials) rose 15 percent on a year-on-year (YoY) basis which is highest in the last past 4 years. “Recovery in volume growth for consumer stocks, encouraging domestic order flow trends in Industrials, better-than-expected growth and margin trends in banks, and evidence of waning demonetization impact suggests earnings recovery is gathering pace,” said the Goldman report.
Even the managements are also seeing a recovery in demand. They are more confident of the up cycle. Based on earnings call transcripts of 40 companies, Goldman Sachs note that most companies are seeing a recovery in demand to pre-demonetization levels.
Capex-sensitive firms continue to see increasing opportunities from the govt. push on infrastructure while consumer-sensitive companies expect rural demand to pick-up.
