GST collection, after posting above Rs 1 lakh crore mark for nine months in a row, dropped below Rs 1 lakh crore in June 2021 due to the second wave of covid. With the easing out of COVID restrictions, GST collection for July and August 2021 have again crossed Rs 1 lakh crore, which clearly indicates that the economy is recovering at a fast pace. Coupled with economic growth, anti-evasion activities, especially action against fake billers have also been contributing to the enhanced GST collections.

The Education Sector is one of the worst affected sectors due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The closure of education institutions, adoption of work from home by offices, muted demand for printing of newspapers among others disturbed the consumption of paper & paper products. However we are highly bullish on this sector in long run due to increasing literacy levels, growth in print media (particularly in the vernacular languages), higher government spending on the education sector. Also, there is a buzz in these sectors with the reopening of Schools & Colleges. Our top picks from these sectors are NIIT, JK Papers & Orient Papers. Rahul Sharma, Co-Founder, Equity99

Company is bringing the issue at price band of Rs 522-531 per share at p/e multiple of 64x on FY21 PAT basis. We like integrated business model of company due to which company has posted superior financial performance. Company’s OPBDIT margin ranked second among other major diagnostics along with negative working capital and high cash flow generation leading to strong net cash position. Also company’s strategy of expanding in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh which are expected to grow at CAGR of 12% to 13% by 2023will be next growth driver for company. Hence, looking after all, we recommend “Subscribe” on issue. HEM Securities
At the higher end of the price band, Ami Organics is priced at a PE ratio of ~41 times FY21 EPS (on a fully diluted on post-issue basis).

While Ami Organics has reported higher RoNW numbers than these peers, the sustainability of superior financial performance remains to be seen. However, the issue appears to be fully priced as compared to the industry average (~46 times). INDMoney

17300 is an immediate resistance level while 17500 will be the next psychological hurdle. On the downside, 17000 has become immediate and strong support where only a move below 17000 can lead to some short weakness towards 16700 level. Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart
Nifty is in strong bullish momentum but some of the momentum indicators are indicating an overbought territory and PCR is trading at 1.66 which is also a little overbought area that may cause some consolidation or profit booking at some point but it is always advisable to remain with momentum until the market shows any sign of weakness because the market may remain overbought for some more time. Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart
GDP growth recorded at 20.1% for Q1FY22, was largely in-line with expectations of 18-22%. However, the double digit growth is slightly deceptive given the low base effect when the economy had contracted by 24.4% in the corresponding quarter last year. Visibility of revival in consumer demand increases with household consumption up by 19%, compared to contraction in FY21. Pick-up in construction by 68% also shows signs of green shoots. Though the general traction is still below pre-Covid levels, the severity of lockdowns is clearly lower this year compared to last year. Naveen Kulkarni, Chief Investment Officer, Axis Securities

Our growth estimate for full fiscal year FY22 is at 7.7% on-year basis. The April to July govt tax and expenditure numbers released today show that the govt tax revenue is booming, but the expenditures are subdued. The govt tax revenue has gone up by 161% in the April-July period yoy, but total expenditure is actually contracted by 4.7% yoy in the same period. In absolute terms, even when compared to pre-pandemic FY20, net tax revenue is up Rs. 1.91 tr in April-July 2021 vs April-July 2019, but expenditure is up only Rs. 572 bn. On the expenditure side of the GDP, private consumption has grown at 19% after contracting 26% last year in the same quarter. Gross fixed capital formation has grown by 55% yoy after contracting 47% last year. The biggest support is coming from exports, growing 39% after a contraction of 22% last year in the same quarter.Thus, there is support from agriculture and exports to economic growth. There is definitely a need for the govt. to shed its fiscal orthodoxy and take a lead in spending towards creating more employment, especially in the MSME sector and to increase allocation on NREGA.

So far, rally in domestic equities, broad dollar weakness, and regulatory curb by the Chinese government have led to more FII flows diverting to India.

Given by absence of any intervention by the RBI up to 73 levels, technically, the next support for the pair is near 72.80 while 73.50 remains a strong resistance, keeping the pair consolidated between 72.80-73.50 levels for now.

We are of the view that, as medium-term trend is still into the positive side and likely to continue in the near future. Hence the ideal strategy for day traders would be to buy on dips and sell on rallies. 16980/57100 would be a sacrosanct support level for the swing traders, above the same uptrend momentum likely to continue up to 17200/58200 further upside may also continue which could lift the index up to 17275/58450. On the flip side, a strong possibility of one quick intraday correction up to 16900/56800 is not ruled out if the index succeeds to trade below the 16980/57100 support level.
