STOCK WATCH : UNITED SPIRITS - SELL CMP RS 1850.

United Spirits is the only stock that is trading beyond 100 PE multiple among the NIFTY Junior. The stock has risen more than 40% in the last couple of trading sessions, after Diageo deal was concluded. For the latest quarter the company reported a net of Rs 39cr on an equity of Rs 131Cr, giving an EPS of Rs 3. Although stake sale and subsequent open offer by Diageo group to acquire further 26% makes qualitative difference, the stock has risen mostly because of speculative interest. The stock has already surpassed the one year re rating target in just 4 trading sessions. That is something unusual. This kind of spurt in price is unlikely to sustain for long. More over the open offer price at Rs 1440. Investors can sell at current level and can re enter later.

The shares of United Spirits jumped as much as 35 percent today to touch two-year high after many brokerages upgraded the stock, implying that Mallya has sold a stake to Diageo at a higher-than-expected price.

Morgan Stanley raised its rating on United Spirits to 'overweight' from 'equal-weight', saying the $2.1 billion deal priced the company "significantly higher" than its base case value and raised the stock target to Rs 1905.

Diageo last week agreed to buy a 53.4 percent stake in the liquor maker controlled Vijay Mallya by first acquiring 27.4 percent percent from its founders at 1,440 rupees per share, and then launching a mandatory offer for the remainder.

INDICES TO OPEN AND CLOSE IN GREEN

Festive spirit, FIIs net investing in excess of Rs 3000cr in cash market in the month of November so far, robust auto sales number for October and better numbers for the month of September for industrial and inflation figures will keep the bank, auto and metal stocks busy this week. The negative sentiments that prevailed in U S and Europe markets after Obama's win has also been waned. Hence the I T stocks too are likely to stage smart recovery this week. These factors will help the benchmark indices BSE and NIFTY to open and close in green today and gain substantially over the week.

SUZLON DEBT TO GO FOR CDR, BANKS HAVE TO ULTIMATELY WRITE OFF



Consortium of banks led by SBI is working on a package to restructure the debt of Suzlon which is around Rs 13000cr. 



Suzlon recently manged to get 45 days extension from bond holders from immediate payment. It also failed to redeem FCCB amounting to $220 million last month.

According to our analysis the money lent to Suzlon has almost gone with the wind. It is ironical that company is in to wind energy equipments manufacturing. A debt restructure is warranted when due to external reasons the cash flow of the company has been temporarily affected, wherein the company has cash generating assets and  sound business model. In case of Suzlon we do not see none of this. Hence for all practical purposes the money lent to Suzlon is gone with the wind.
