After a steep correction over 12 per cent over the first two months of 2016, domestic equity markets bounced back on firm global markets and a budget that has reignited hopes of an interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in the immediate future. On a month-to-date basis, the BSE Sensex surged nearly 8 per cent till March 9.
According to market experts, the RBI’s action in the forthcoming policy review meet on April 5 and hopes for a good monsoons are domestic factors that would set the tone for the markets in the near future.
However, Credit Suisse have already downgraded Indian shares to “underweight” from “overweight” and said India will experience “modest deterioration” in external position, and valuations are at “unjustifiable” premiums, while earnings revisions are most negative across emerging markets.
Sharekhan in a research note said, “We remain constructive on equities and prefer using the volatility to accumulate the quality stocks.”
Against this backdrop, below are 5 stocks on which market experts are looking bullish in the present market conditions:
Crompton Greaves: Crompton Greaves has accepted an offer from First Reserve International, a US-based private equity fund, to sell its international transmission and distribution (T&D) business. The business to be sold includes T&D business present in the European, North American and Indonesian subsidies. The total consideration for the deal is Euro 115 million, of which euro 85 million will be paid on closure of the deal and remaining euro 30 million over the period of 18 months.
Sharekhan in a research note said, “We believe the deal is a positive surprise for the Street, as the company can manage to get rid of a major part of its problematic international business. we have retained our ‘Hold’ rating on the stock with a revised price target of Rs 165.
Management believes the deal will enable Crompton Greaves to reduce debt and focus on its faster growing Indian business. Religare has ‘Buy’ rating on Crompton Greaves shares with March 2017 target price of Rs 170. The scrip was trading at Rs 151.85 on Wednesday.
SpiceJet: In the past one year, the share price of SpiceJet surged 200 per cent to Rs 63.80 on March 9. For the quarter ended December 2015, the company reported net profit of Rs 238.40 crore, up 186.68 per cent, against net loss of Rs 275.03 crore in the corresponding quarter a year ago.
JM Financial initiated coverage of SpiceJet shares with ‘Buy’ rating, valuing the stock at 6.5x FY18E EV/EBITDAR (7 per cent discount to Indigo) to arrive at a fair value of Rs 80.
According to JM Financial, the medium-term fleet addition for SpiceJet remains limited at 52 aircraft over FY17/18E. However, SpiceJet’s aggressive utilisation levels – FY16E PLF (passenger load factor) at 90 per cent, block hours at 1,51,000 hours backed by tactical pricing continues to augur well for revenue maximisation. The company continues to retain high focus on ancillary revenues – cargo, food, cancellation and others enabling it to grow its ancillary revenues from 10 per cent in FY14 to 12.5 per cent currently. J M Financial expects yields to hold firm as pressure from lower crude prices are offset by strong PAX growth domestically.

Also, in Q4FY2016, Mahindra & Mahindra’s KUV1OO and Maruti’s Vitara Brezza sales are expected to drive revenue growth.
