Market Closing

Benchmark indices continued to reel under selling pressure for third consecutive session on Monday. The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 151.45 points to 36,395.03 and the Nifty50 plunged 54.80 points to 10,888.80.

The broader markets also caught in bear trap with the Nifty Midcap index falling 1.7 percent and Smallcap shedding 1.8 percent, underperforming frontliners.

The market breadth was largely in favour of bears as about two shares declined for every share rising on the NSE.

Reliance Industries and ICICI Bank were leading contributors to the Nifty's fall.

Dr Reddy's Labs and M&M were biggest losers among Nifty50 stocks, down more than 5 percent each. ONGC, Hindalco Industries and UltraTech Cement were down 4-5 percent.

However, Tata Steel, Cipla, IOC, Tata Motors and HCL Technologies gained 1-2.5 percent.

Brokerages press the panic button for Tata Motors; stock hits 10-year low

Brokerage firms such as Axis Capital and Motilal Oswal downgraded Tata Motors post December quarter results which were impacted by an exceptional item of asset impairment of Rs 27,838 crore.

The company had reported a profit of Rs 1,214.6 crore in the same quarter last fiscal. The company's consolidated revenue in Q3 was at Rs 77,001 crore while operating profit was at Rs 6,522 crore.

The stock fell more than 20% to Rs 141.90 in the morning trade on February 8 after opening at Rs 164.65 on BSE. The stock closed at Rs 182.90 on February 7 on BSE.

Reacting to the results, most brokerage firms reduced their earnings per share (EPS) estimate for Tata Motors and reduced their target price on the stock. CLSA, which retained sell rating on Tata Motors, has a target price of Rs 150 which translates into a downside of 17 percent from Thursday’s close.

JLR reported a loss for the third straight quarter as net sales declined by 1 percent on a YoY basis to GBP 6.2 billion, as volumes fell 11 percent on a YoY basis. EBITDA margin shrank 180 bps to 7.3 percent impacted by one-off cost on account of de-stocking and warranty cost.

JLR margins declined on a QoQ basis despite higher volume. The big asset impairment dragged Tata into a consolidated loss. The demand outlook has worsened in recent quarters in China & India.

The global investment bank slashed its FY19-21 EPS estimate by 2-66 percent. The stock will remain weak given insufficient near-term product triggers, said the CLSA note.

The weak sales in China and de-stocking has impacted JLR numbers. The December quarter JLR revenue was at 6.2 billion pounds, while the loss stood at 3,129 million pounds.
