Outperformance Takes a Breather
Indian equity market was among top performers globally with the benchmark index, Nifty registering monthly gain of 7.5% in Jul’20. More importantly, the sharp recovery is primarily
contributed by IT (+23% MoM), Pharma (+12% MoM), Auto (+8.3% MoM) and RIL (+21% MoM). IT, with sectoral weightage of 16% in Nifty, surprised positively mainly led by better
than expected margins and positive management commentaries. However, a sharp underperformance by the BFSI components (BFSI index gained mere 1.6% MoM) resulted in
underperformance of RSec Model Portfolio in Jul’20 despite we have been underweight in BFSIs for last couple of months. As against 7.5% and 6.8% MoM gain registered by Nifty
and BSE-500, respectively, RSec Model portfolio generated 5.4% return in Jul’20 and thus, underperformed the Nifty and BSE-500 by 2.1% and 1.4%, respectively. Among the stocks,
while Infosys delivered the highest 31% return, IPCA Labs, Sun Pharma, Dabur and UPL generated double-digit return (in 10-12% range) in Jul’20. While sharp underperformance
by the BFSI components impacted the performance of Model Portfolio, our strategy of being relatively underweight in Financials and overweight in Pharma, Consumer, Automobile
and Telecom still holds true.

Sharp Rebound in IT & Pharma Aided Markets
A better-than-expected margin performance by the IT majors (mainly led by cost saving), steady deal win and favourable guidance with clarity over business trajectory for the rest of
the fiscal increased the investors’ confidence on IT stocks. Additionally, pharma stocks witnessed sharp rebound in the backdrop of emerging domestic APIs (active pharmaceutical
ingredients) play. Amid possibilities that the government may hike import duty on the APIs, the domestic API manufacturers like Divi’s Labs, Laurus Labs and Granules India etc.
witnessed sharp up-move in Jul’20.

Ambiguity over BFSIs does not Augur Well for Sustainable Rally
Having seen a sharp rebound in Jul’20, the market may witness some amount of fatigue in Aug’20. We further note that performance of financials is crucial to drive the markets,
going forward. However, the financial stocks are likely to remain range-bound at least till clarity emerges over the RBI’s action plan pertaining to extension of moratorium beyond
Aug’20 or one-time loan restructuring. Further, additional supplies (as a number of banks are lined up to raise funds via Right Issues/QIPs) are likely to remain hurdles for the BFSI
sector. Moreover, continued decline in non-food credit growth may prompt the RBI to raise reverse repo rate to discourage the lenders to park money with the RBI and encourage
them to lend to various industries along with fresh targeted Long Term Repo Operations (LTROs).

Portfolio Reshuffling: Replacing Sun Pharma & Infosys with Laurus Labs & HCL Tech
We are replacing Sun Pharma and Infosys with Laurus Labs and HCL Technologies (HCLT) , respectively. We believe that ongoing traction in domestic API space and capacity
expansion in API space by 20-25% will aid Laurus Labs to report sustainable growth in coming quarters. Further, we believe HCLT offers higher margin of safety compared to peers.
Further, HCLT is relatively less exposed to the troubled verticals like Transportation, Hospitality and Retail etc.
