Wienerberger will release its financial figures for 2024 on February 13, 2025, while Diageo denies reports of selling Guinness. UltraTech Cement is in talks to acquire HeidelbergCement India, and ProSiebenSat.1 faces leadership changes amid shareholder conflicts. Ryanair's growth is hindered by Boeing's delivery issues, and merger talks between SGS and Bureau Veritas have ended.
The stock market experienced a significant crash on January 13, with the BSE Sensex dropping 677.22 points to 76,701.69 and the NSE Nifty falling 212.90 points to 23,218.60. The rupee also hit an all-time low of 86.3537 per dollar, influenced by a rally in the US dollar due to positive jobs data. Among the hardest-hit stocks were Zomato Ltd, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, and Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd, while only IndusInd Bank Ltd and Axis Bank Ltd managed to gain.
UltraTech Cement has received a notice from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) regarding its proposed acquisition of a 32.72% stake in India Cements. The company, part of the Aditya Birla Group, is confident in its case, citing the competitive nature of the southern grey cement market, which includes over 35 manufacturers. Following the notice, UltraTech will respond within 15 days, and the CCI may further investigate the potential impact on market competition.
The Nifty and Sensex rallied for the second consecutive session on December 2, with gains driven by pharma, realty, and auto stocks, despite weaker-than-expected GDP data. The broader market reached a one-month high, while bond yields fell to a 30-month low. Investors are anticipating the RBI's MPC meeting on December 4, where the policy rate is expected to remain unchanged due to high inflation.
Benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex rebounded in the afternoon on December 2, with Nifty rising to 24,170 and Sensex to 79,942, supported by gains in pharma, realty, and auto stocks. Despite India's GDP growth slowing to 5.4% in Q2, analysts suggest that the market's reaction may be muted, viewing potential dips as buying opportunities.
Cement stocks experienced a rally on December 2, led by Ultratech Cement, which rose over 3% to become the top gainer on the Nifty 50. Jefferies forecasts an 8-10% volume growth in H2FY25, driven by improved demand and government capital expenditure revival, with Ultratech and JK Cement identified as top picks. Other companies like Shree Cement and ACC also saw gains of 2-3%.
Indian benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex showed a lukewarm performance on November 27, fluctuating in a narrow range amid losses in realty and pharma sectors. The Sensex rose by 35.28 points to 80,039.34, while the Nifty increased by 5.20 points to 24,199.70, with more shares advancing than declining. Analysts suggest that the markets are likely to consolidate at current levels, with foreign institutional investors shifting from selling to marginal buying, despite concerns over potential tariffs proposed by Donald Trump.
UltraTech Cement has received approval from the NCLT to acquire Kesoram's cement assets, following a share purchase agreement announced in November. This acquisition will enhance the Aditya Birla group's presence in southern markets, with plans for a capital expenditure of Rs 400-500 crore for efficiency improvements at the facilities. Additionally, the board has approved the issuance of unsecured non-convertible debentures (NCDs) to raise Rs 1,000 crore through private placement.
The Nifty and Sensex reversed gains after a strong opening, closing lower due to declines in auto and energy stocks. The Sensex fell by 147.14 points to 79,962.71, while the Nifty dropped 39.40 points to 24,182.50, amid concerns over earnings and a lack of positive market triggers. Despite a significant influx of foreign institutional investment, experts caution that the recent rally may not be sustainable.
The stock market experienced a significant rebound, with the Sensex rising by 1,961.32 points (2.54%) to 79,117.11 and the Nifty up by 557.35 points (2.39%) to 23,907.25. Key sectors such as IT, PSU banks, and realty saw gains of 2-3%, driven by stocks like State Bank of India and TCS. Analysts noted that the rally was fueled by short covering in underperforming sectors ahead of crucial state election results, with potential for further gains or volatility depending on the election outcome.
