Hindalco Q3 profit including Utkal surges 47% to Rs 713 cr, margin contracts

 third quarter profit (including Utkal) to Rs 713 crore, driven by higher operating income and lower finance cost in aluminium business.

Hindalco has reported healthy 47 percent on year growth in

Profit during the quarter ended December 2017 stood at Rs 484 crore.

Revenue from operations (including Utkal) grew by 8 percent year-on-year to Rs 11,938 crore in quarter ended December 2018.

At operating level, EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) including Utkal rose 3.5 percent to Rs 1,926 crore in Q3 YoY, but margin contracted to 16.1 percent against 16.9 percent in same period last year.

"This is on the back of supporting macros, improvement in operational efficiencies and better realisations. This was despite increase in input costs, mainly of coal and furnace oil," the aluminium major said.

Interest expenses for the quarter were lower by 12 percent to Rs 477 crore YoY, mainly due to re-pricing of long term project loans and loan re-payments.

The company said under its continuous deleveraging focus, it prepaid another Rs 1,575 crore in October 2018.

Hence, Hindalco standalone plus Utkal Alumina net debt to EBITDA (on TTM Basis) improved to 2.36x as on December 2018 from 2.67x as on March 2018, it added.

Aluminium business (including Utkal) during the quarter grew by 12.6 percent to Rs 6,018 crore with its EBITDA increasing 8 percent to Rs 1,286 crore YoY on supporting macros, partially offset by increase in the input prices.

The company achieved aluminium metal production of 324 Kt in Q3FY19, as its plants continued to operate at peak designed capacities, the company said, adding alumina (including Utkal Alumina) production was higher at 749 Kt versus 734 Kt in the corresponding period last year on account of better operational performance.

Copper business revenue at Rs 5,925 crore increased by 4 percent and its operating income at Rs 431 crore was higher by 2.4 percent for quarter ended December 2018.

At 14:38 hours IST, the stock was quoting at Rs 199.65, up Rs 0.30, or 0.15 percent on the BSE.

Sensex gave positive returns in Feb in 5 out of 10 years; what does 2019 hold?

It looks like bulls and bears battle it out on Dalal Street in the month of February, which is usually marred by Budget volatility. Historical data shows Sensex gave positive returns in February in 5 out of last 10 years.

During the last 10 years, S&P BSE Sensex rallied the most in February 2014 rising 4.5 percent, followed by a 2.6 percent up move seen in 2012, and 2.1 percent gain in 2017, data collated by Ace Equity showed.

On the other hand, in past 10 years, Sensex fell the most in 2016 when it plunged over 7 percent, followed by 4.8 percent drop in 2018 and 4.6 percent fall in 2013.

This month, the sentiment on D-Street has been positive from day 1 after the Interim Budget when Nifty rose beyond 10,900, which is a strong sign as it has put bears on the back foot for now.

Budget 2019: Big relief for aam aadmi! FM Goyal gives tax rebate on income up to Rs 5 lakh

Image Source: Financialexpress.com

Interim Finance Minister Piyush Goyal has given some relief to the income taxpayers. Union Budget2019 has proposed to offer a tax rebate for individuals earning up to Rs 500,000. The rebate under Section 87A of the Income Tax Act has been enhanced to Rs 12,500 from Rs 2,500 earlier. The threshold has also been enhanced to income of Rs 5 lakh from Rs 3.5 lakh earlier. This will benefit taxpayers only to the extent of an annual income of Rs 5 lakh. The basic exemption limit and tax-slabs remain the same.

The last time basic exemption limit was raised by Rs 50,000 by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley while presenting Budget 2014. At that the time, the tax rates were left untouched.

Last year while presenting Budget 2018, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had re-introduced the standard deduction of Rs 40,000 in lieu of medical reimbursement and transport allowance. It was done with the intention to reduce administrative hassles for salaried individuals. In budget 2019, standard deduction too has been enhanced to Rs 50,000. The increase in basic exemption limit benefits all income taxpayers.

Finance Ministry may sell part of SUUTI holding in Axis Bank, ITC

The Finance Ministry may consider selling part of its stake in Axis Bank and ITC, held through SUUTI, in next few months, an official said.

As on September 30, 2018, Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India (SUUTI) held around 9.63 percent stake in Axis Bank, 7.97 percent in ITC and 1.80 percent in L&T.

While the government is waiting for L&T to launch a buyback offer to tender its shares; for holding in Axis Bank and ITC, it would consider off-market deals, an official said.

"We are open to selling stake in Axis Bank and ITC through bulk or block deals. It all depends on the valuation," the official told PTI.

Shares of Axis Bank settled at Rs 666.50, up 0.53 percent, while ITC was up 2.02 percent at Rs 295.40 at close of market hours on January 11.

A bulk deal is a deal in which more than 0.5 percent of the total number of shares of a listed company are sold or bought by a single investor in the open market. In a block deal, two parties make a transaction involving shares worth at least Rs 5 crore. Block deal transactions are conducted in a separate trading window.

Infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has already approached market regulator Sebi for launching a share buyback programme. The government would participate in the buyback programme, and is expecting to get around Rs 700 crore.

The government had sold 2.5 percent stake in L&T held through SUUTI in June 2017 through block deals in the market.

In February 2017, the government had raised Rs 6,700 crore through sale of 2 percent stake held through SUUTI in tobacco-to-FMCG firm ITC.

In November 2016 it sold 1.63 percent in L&T, while in March 2014 it had sold 9 percent stake in Axis Bank to raise Rs 5,500 crore through block deals.

SUUTI holdings in ITC, Axis Bank and L&T are also part of Bharat 22 exchange-traded fund (ETF).

The government, which has set a divestment target of Rs 80,000 crore for 2018-19, has so far raised over Rs 34,000 crore.

Sensex has grown 100 time in 32 years! Many stocks could turn multibaggers in 2019

What an eventful year it has been for the markets. Earnings, which were expected to be robust didn’t turn out to be so. A plethora of events rocked the markets, to start with - introduction of LTCG in the last Budget spooked the sentiment.

SEBI’s MF small cap classification decimated the companies which had a market-cap of less than Rs 8,000 crores. Bank frauds, NBFC crisis, trade wars, high crude prices, slumping rupee, RBI-govt tussle further wreaked havoc in the markets.

The year 2018 could well be termed as a bull market speed-breaker which was required to eradicate the crazy greed and inane complacencies of the retail investors.
