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.

Nifty forms 'Hammer' pattern, ends below 10,800; focus on stock specific opportunities

It was another rangebound session for the market on Friday as traders await more December quarter earnings. The Nifty50 closed lower for the second consecutive session despite positive Asian cues, dragged by select banks and auto stocks.

The index closed below 10,800 levels and formed 'Hammer' kind of pattern on the daily charts (which also resembles 'Hanging Man' pattern) and showed 'Doji' formation on the weekly scale. For the week, the Nifty gained 0.6 percent.

After the rangebound trade for last few sessions, the index is expected to show direction on either side in coming week, experts said, adding earnings could be key reason for the move.

The Nifty50 after opening marginally higher hit a day's high of 10,850.15, but in morning itself, it drifted lower to touch an intraday low of 10,739.40 followed by small recovery from day's low in late trade. The index was down 26.60 points to close at 10,795.

"Nifty50 registered a Hammer formation before signing off the last session of the week as it smartly recovered from day's low of 10,739 levels where as weekly chart registered a 'Doji' with positive close after moving in a narrow range of 137 points throughout the week," Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.
