Performance of the BSE Sector Indices in 2011/12  and to date is quite Interesting ….What provoked this post is Sameer’s counter argument in my earlier post…he is bullish in the short term,citing the favourable upmoves in the Pharma,Cement and Auto Sectors…I’m looking at the Bigger Picture and I’m not so excited really as Macros are clearly playing up and this Government is unlikely to push big ticket reforms…we need to await 2014 General Elections,which I fear may yet again through up a fractured verdict…but I hope with a more reform friendly and decisive coalition !

Have a Look at the Performance of the BSE Sector Indices in 2011/12 and to date…Quite Interesting…The Reds & Greens signal fall or rise/holding up from over a year ago  

The Alltime High & Low Columns are quite revealing

  • FMCG,Healthcare and Auto Indices  have registered All time Highs this Month…with consistent Wealth Creation in the 21st century in FMCG and Healthcare while a huge surge in the last four years in the Auto Sector
  • Quick and huge  wealth destruction in the IT sector in 2000/2001,the Metals and Power Sector inside Ten months in 2008 between January and October and in the Realty Sector between Jan 2008 and March 2009

  • IT  shows a Drop,but TCS has outperformed Infosys ,which has slumped and the latter holds 48% weightage in the Index ! against just 29% by TCS !…this needs to be rectified by BSE rightaway…more so as the Market Cap of TCS is Rs 233301 crs against just Rs 135415 crs of Infosys !….The Index tracks the share price of  10 Companies with 88% weightage of just three …Infosys,TCS and Wipro …Other interesting constituents are Oracle Finance and Financial Technologies 
  •   Techk comprises of 30 IT,Telecom,Media and Communication Companies and has mirrored IT fall
  • FMCG has been the years Darling with ITC (55% weightage) and HUL (18% weightage) outperforming to allow the Index to hit Alltime Highs…11 Companies constitute this Index…Interesting ones are the two Kingfisher Group Companies,United Spirits and United Breweries…. and Tata Global (spotted this at Rs 80 late in 2011) and the huge 2010/2011 winner Jubilant Foods (Dominoes Pizza)
  •  Consumer Durables has heavyweight Titan with 51% weightage in the Index…It’s been a flat year
  • Metals has seen a bad year…In fact this Index has slumped the highest @ 35% over last year…75% Index weightage is in Five scrips led by Tata Steel with 22% followed by Coal India,Jindal Steel,Sterlite and Hindalco
  • Oil & Gas too has seen a bad year…Reliance with a 54% weightage and ONGC with a 22% weightage aggregate a skewed weightage of 76% in the Index
  • Capital Good Giants,India Proxy Larsen and Toubro and BHEL have a weightage of  54% and 16% respectively in the Index that monitors the share price of  17 companies,that also include Siemens,Suzlon,Havells,Thermax,ABB and Punj Lloyd…it’s been a shocking year for both,Larsen and BHEL on the bourses and the steep fall has unnerved even the aggressive Investors
  • Healthcare has held up well in 2011/12…19 Healthcare and Pharma Companies comprise the Index with Sun Pharma (18%),Dr Reddys (17%) and Cipla (12%) leading the weightages
  • 14 Banks comprise the Bankex with the top three weightages given to HDFC Bank (26%),ICICI Bank (25%) and State Bank of India (16%)…it’s been a very challenging year for the Banks given the slowdown in the Economy and high interest rates affecting credit offtake…the rising level of NPAs remains a threat
  •  PSU ~ The Index has 60 PSU Companies in it ! with Coal India and ONGC leading at 14% each in weightages followed by State Bank of India with 9% and NTPC with 8%…Interestingly these 60 Comnpanies have an aggregate  Market Cap of Rs 1561821 crs currently….and this smartly and significantly  constitute nearly 26%,that’s over one fourth of the Total Current Market Cap of BSE of Rs 6108734 crs 
  • The Auto Index covers 10 Companies across the sector spectrum of leading four HMV and LMV wheelers & Two Wheelers,Battery (Exide) & Engine (Cummins) Manufacturers and Tyres (Apollo)…Aggregate 86% weightage is given to top Five Vehicle Players led by Tata Motors with a 31% weightage .Interestingly and encouragingly too,this Index has held up well,largely due to outperformance by Tata Motors…However Index aggregate Market Cap is below 5% of total market cap 
  • Realty Index tracks the share price of 12 realty companies…DLF lead weightages with 33% followed by Unitech (17%),Oberoi (10%) and HDIL (10%)…Shobha,Godrej Properties,Phoenix,D B Realty are some others in this Index…it’s continued to be a sliding year for this sector that’s been saddled with huge crippling debt,huge inventories and delayed projects….but how much more lower can it go !…search for contrarion winners in this sector over the long term…had spotted Orbit at Rs 20 + late last year and early this year…Price has doubled to @ Rs 48 currently…and even Indiabulls Real Estate at Rs 45 + levels after demerger of Indiabulls Power….it surged to Rs 80 levels before reacting now to Rs 62 …But Both do not form part of this Index 
  • Power Sector is battling  Source Feed Supplies of Coal and Gas that’s crippling Operations and resulting in lower output and capacity underutilisation….Implementation of both,Public and Private Mega Projects too has been delayed for a host of reasons …This Index tracks 19 companies in the Sector that cover Generators,Transmitters and Distributors as also others that supply Equipment like BHEL which has the second largest weightage of 15% …NTPC with a 20%  leads the weightages….Incidentally Private Power Players like Reliance Power  and Adani Power have a weightage of 4% and 3%  respectively….Given the Challenges faced,the Year has been quite unkind to this Sector…the Index has slumped @ 27% in the past year…anyone for a Contrarion Bull Play here !?

    Dashing Through the Economy…Printing Currency all the Way !…Oh what Fun it is to ride on a one PIIGS Open Sleigh !… Hey ! Warning Bells ! Warning Bells ! Warning all the Way !…Santa Claus is not Coming riding on a Sleigh !

    Sing this to the Tune of Christmas Carol “Jingle Bells”

    “Dashing Through the Economy…Printing Currency all the Way !…Oh what Fun it is to ride on a one PIIGS Open Sleigh !… Hey ! Warning Bells ! Warning Bells ! Warning all the Way !…Santa Claus is not Coming riding on a Sleigh !”

    Have a Look at this chart below (moneyandmarkets.com)  and see the crazy percentage of  Central Bank Assets as a % of the GDP in that Country

    Central Banks of USA,Europe,England and Japan have printed more Currency in the past four years than in the whole of the past 50 years ,prior !….in an attempt to revive their Economies….and the result is simply not showing !…it is a matter of time that the currencies will lose their function as a ‘store of value’ 

    You want a figure ! ?..it’s over US $  10 Trillion worth of freshly printed Currency pumped into the Economies in the last four years 

    In 2008 USA’s FED  Assets to GDP ratio was just 6% …it’s now a record 20% !…England matches this !

    Both,Japan and Europe are even more precarious…the ratio here is an unbelievable 30% !

    Dangerous Levels of Printing Money to Fund Economy

    PIIGS ~ Europe

    Portugal,Ireland,Italy,Greece and Spain….currently the faltering Eurozone Economies…The Quantum in % of Sovereign Bonds of the Total Bonds Issued in the World stands at 40% according to S & P….In Spain the yields on Sovereign Bonds have climbed over 6% while the default hedge cost is now 5% ….The Unemployment rate is a stagerring 22% !….All PIIGS Nations have a dangerous level of Debt to GDP Ratios…Greece’s Debt is 160% of GDP…and all countries are battling recession and struggling to implement stringent austerity measures which is a prerequisite for bailout funding….social tension is the inevitable fallout….riots,strikes,demonstrations….and at an extreme can lead to anarchy…How Long can France and Germany continue to prop up the Eurozone !…they,themselves are answerable and have to counter increasing domestic challenges and arguments and debates to providing sustenance to others in the Eurozone…There is a growing fear of the Collapse of the Eurozone….inevitably countries like Greece and even Portugal may contemplate to exit the EuroZone and revert to their own or new currency and at a new exchange rate….the situation is tense and huge dollops of Bailout Funds are required over a sustained period of a few years…problem is where will such Funds come from !?….Printing Currency was the only Option left,perhaps !….Italy approached China for Funds by soliciting subscription to it’s sovereign bonds….China demanded Tangible Assets and stakeholdings in top Italian Companies !…as Bond Values can substantially be wiped off if economy continues to falter  ! read more
