Pick of the week by HDFC Securities: Radico Khaitan
The imposition of highway liquor sales ban by Supreme Court, demonetization and implementation of GST disrupted the volume growth over the last few quarters but are now events of the past. Relaxation given by Supreme Court and Kerala government are positives for volume growth.
The company has undertaken significant capital expenditure in the past for up-gradation and maintenance of plant & machinery and has sufficient capacity to meet its organic growth for the next 5 years.
Investors could buy the stock at the CMP and add on dips to Rs.152-158 band (~18x FY19E EPS) for sequential targets of Rs 207 (24x FY19E EPS) and Rs 224 (26x FY19E EPS) over the next 3-4 quarters. At the CMP of Rs.176 the stock trades at 20.5x FY19E EPS.

Reliance Securities on Jyothy Laboratories (JYL)
Implementation of GST is expected to benefit organised players like JYL as unorganised players would find it difficult to compete under the new structure.
We expect JYL to report net sales of Rs 1860 crore and Rs 2130 crore and net profit of Rs 190 crore and Rs 240 crore in FY18E and FY19E, respectively. Based on expected EPS of Rs 13.1, the stock currently trades at valuations of 30.3x FY19E earnings, which is at a 25% discount to sector multiples.
We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock with a target price of Rs 430.

9:41 AM Nifty outlook by Angel Broking
It appears that markets are awaiting some trigger to confirm the clear direction in the near-term. Technically speaking, the way index has narrowed down its trading range, it’s a sign that the volatility would increase soon; resulting into a probable breakout in either direction. If we have to guess any one direction, we would certainly go with our recent cautious stance on the market. One of the notable observations to support this view is the negative placement of ‘RSI Smoothened’ on the weekly chart.
Having said that one must understand the fact, it’s very difficult to time such predictions and hence, at present, one should keep tracking key levels for the index i.e. 10,000 and 9, 860. Meanwhile, trades can keep focusing on individual stocks that are providing better trading opportunities.
