Equity Market OutlookJune 2021

GARP: Growth at Reasonable PriceDisclaimer: The information provided herein may include statements/data of future expectations that are based on current views and assumptions and involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied.

Second wave of infection, though still underway, has receded as rapidly as it spread. Improved vaccination and more pragmatic approach by governments resulted in shallower impact to economic activity.

We believe that the Indian economy should witness a recovery in 2021, albeit of a slightly lower intensity than before the onset of the second wave and accelerate there after. India is well-positioned to commence on a new economic upcycle over the next few years implying broad-based improvement across a variety of industries.

Consumption will take precedence over savings as real interest rates turn negative; manufacturing sector to continue building on its recovery, while services will be more back ended.

Mild inflation expectations, in the initial growth phase of under-utilized capacity, may offer a conducive environment for corporates to improve profits, leading to an earnings upgrade cycle.

Valuations of leading indices, adjusted for lower cost of capital, in-line with long term average – making risk-reward in the markets more evenly balanced. Mid/small cap valuations at a premium to large cap peers; need a strong earnings cycle to drive incremental gains; stock selection key.

Scare to global growth due to delta variant of the COVID – 19 keeps us vigilant for risks emerging at the margin. Recent collapse in US 10-yr yield curve to below the 1.2%1 handle being an indicator of the same.

We prefer a pro-cyclical outlook as GARP opportunities emerge. We maintain our over-weight positions to financials, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. We also like technology for its earnings resilience but have moderated our stance, of past 6-9 months, as valuations have re-rated.

An economic recovery along with an earnings upgrade cycle can offer more upside to equities in general, with a better participation from the broader markets, offering a good opportunity to invest for the long term.

Emergency monetary programs led to broad money growth

Combined monetary stimulus of 3 central banks, to alleviate pandemic pangs, is almost 11% of Global GDP, compared to about 6% during GFC. The coordination amongst the banks was high and implementation was swift. Loose monetary policies still prevail.

Source: Invesco Ltd. For illustrative purposes only.

Sustained growth in broad money (loose monetary policy) impacts business cycles almost always, with some lag, in the following order

The first impact is on the bond and equity markets and then other asset markets like currency, commodities etc.; the lag varies from 1 – 2 months before the change in policy to as much as a year after the change in policy.

Second, the increase in asset prices creates a wealth effect that encourages businesses and households to increase spending on investment and consumption, which raises employment. This effect plays out usually with a lag of 6-18 months after change of policy.

Finally sustained increases (lasting over one year) in the rate of growth of broad money cause firms and individuals to bid up goods and service prices, producing CPI inflation. This typically lags the change in monetary growth by about two years.

These timelines may be delayed depending on the circumstances. Another wave of the pandemic may delay the full force of the monetary acceleration to show up in higher spending.

Fiscal Deficit: driven by necessity – spending better plannedProductive spend than stimulus

• Capital expenditure creates future sources of employment (hence income) compared to revenue expenditure which gets consumed in the present.• Latter has a positive impact to the GDP growth in the near-term; while former creates more sustainable growth levers to long-term GDP growth.

Current increase in inflation has more elements of short-term “supply pressures” than structural “demand pull” pressures. Demand revival, post COVID first wave, took most suppliers (both global & domestic) by surprise leading to slow response. Logistic dislocations amplified the problem. Strong broad money growth may lead to higher “demand pull” inflation in FY22/ 23.

Inflation: Commodity prices should normalize

Supply responses from commodity players emerging Corporates have managed gross margin pressure through “other” cost levers Demand recovery and hence sales normalization should offer protection against further margin pressures

Improved pricing power with corporates during mild inflation periods, gives an ability to pass on costs and grow profits; equity markets respond to the same.

Consumption: Rural economy continues to grow steadily

Double-digit growth in farm income (~10-11% yoy) in FY20-21 vs. a mere 1% growth in FY19

Nominal rural wage growth remains stable Tractor sales growth

Rural economy, thought impacted more during the 2nd wave, continues to be relatively stable with agricultural inflation supporting. Government policies of money transfer to farmers with marginal farm holdings act as additional aid. Expectation of a normal monsoon – third in succession can add impetus to consumption growth in rural economy.

Recovery in sales with control on costs offer confidence in upgrades to the earning estimates. Aggressive cost cuts due to pandemic; lower interest rates along with de-leveraged balance sheets; and reduced tax rates will likely negate impact of

commodity inflation. Improving vaccination may temper the extent of damage to economic activity, due to subsequent infection waves.

Second wave of infection, though still underway, has receded as rapidly as it spread. Improved vaccination and more pragmatic approach by governments resulted in shallower impact to economic activity.

We believe that the Indian economy should witness a recovery in 2021, albeit of a slightly lower intensity than before the onset of the second wave and accelerate there after. India is well-positioned to commence on a new economic upcycle over the next few years implying broad-based improvement across a variety of industries.

Consumption will take precedence over savings as real interest rates turn negative; manufacturing sector to continue building on its recovery, while services will be more back ended.

Mild inflation expectations, in the initial growth phase of under-utilized capacity, may offer a conducive environment for corporates to improve profits, leading to an earnings upgrade cycle.

Valuations of leading indices, adjusted for lower cost of capital, in-line with long term average – making risk-reward in the markets more evenly balanced. Mid/small cap valuations at a premium to large cap peers; need a strong earnings cycle to drive incremental gains; stock selection key.

Scare to global growth due to delta variant of the COVID – 19 keeps us vigilant for risks emerging at the margin. Recent collapse in US 10-yr yield curve to below the 1.2%1 handle being an indicator of the same.

We prefer a pro-cyclical outlook as GARP opportunities emerge. We maintain our over-weight positions to financials, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. We also like technology for its earnings resilience but have moderated our stance, of past 6-9 months, as valuations have re-rated.

An economic recovery along with an earnings upgrade cycle can offer more upside to equities in general, with a better participation from the broader markets, offering a good opportunity to invest for the long term.
