Domestic Equities Stayed Upbeat; Outlook Remains Strong
Domestic equities continued to remain upbeat in Dec’20, as the benchmark indices recorded sharp rebound despite threat from new COVID-19 strain and business
restrictions due to rapid rise in new coronavirus cases in the USA and European countries. Nonetheless, with consistent improvement in COVID-19 recovery rates
and improvement in key economic indicators, India continued to attract FPIs flow with net inflow of Rs620bn from FPIs, while the DIIs sold equities to the tune of
Rs373bn during the month. Notably, soft monetary policy stance by the global bankers along with additional fiscal stimulus worth US$900bn announced by the USA
and commencement of vaccination process in several countries bolstered the investors’ confidence.
While the Nifty and BSE 500 delivered ~7.8% return, RSec Model Portfolio delivered similar return during the month. Similarly, with a return of 14.9%, RSec Model
Portfolio outperformed Nifty and BSE 500 by 850bps and 620bps, respectively in 2020 led by our strategy of getting overweight on pharma and IT and underweight
on BFSI for the large part of the year.
In our view, domestic equities should continue to do well in 2021 as well led by sustainable inflows from the FPIs on the back of soft monetary policy stance of the
global bankers, robust recovery in corporate earnings and continued improvement in economic activities with the progress on vaccination roll-out. We expect Nifty
earnings to grow by 4%, 39% and 20% in FY21E, FY22E and FY23E, respectively and our 2021 Nifty target is 14,900. (please refer our 2021 India Strategy Note).
Broad Based Rally Seen in Dec’20
Favourable global markets and stimulus package announced by the USA along with continued improvement in key economic data propelled markets to witness
sharp up-move in Dec’20 with all sectoral indices contributing to the rally. Cyclical like Metals & Real Estate and IT witnessed stronger double-digit recovery during the
month. Financials, which gained 35% in Nov’20, continued to move higher and recorded 6% gain, with the PSBs recording double-digit gain during the month. In our
view, Pharma, Automobiles, Building Materials, Financials (small private banks and HFCs) and cyclical like Metals and Real Estate should continue to do well in 2021.
3QFY21 Earnings & Union Budget – Near-term Key Events
In addition to huge liquidity, a sharp earnings rebound in 2QFY21 with consistent improvement in key domestic economic indicators helped the Nifty to witness sharp
rebound in recent months. As Nifty currently trades at a significant premium to its historical average, sustainability of earnings recovery is crucial. While 2QFY21
earnings growth was primarily driven by pent-up demand, 3QFY21 corporate earnings will offer clarity about the regular demand. Additionally, the Union Budget
will offer clarity over the status of capital expenditures and budgetary allocation towards the key sectors.
Portfolio Reshuffling: Replacing Biocon with Cadila
Given imminent opportunity in injectable business in the USA and possible double-digit improvement in domestic formulation business, Cadila Healthcare is
expected to see healthy traction in the ensuing quarters. Further, the company is also in the fray of capitalizing on the significant opportunity in COVID-19 vaccine
space, which could prove to be a solid trigger for the company in the medium-to-long-term.
