Sector Update: CPI Inflation | Food prices cushion impact of gold; bottom in 3Q
“Deflationary pressures in the food and energy categories aided headline inflation to an 8-year low in September, and it was broadly in line with market expectation of 1.5%. The impact of GST rationalisation was not evident in consumer-centric categories like clothing, bedding, and footwear while inflationary pressure was evident in the housing category due to higher rents. The rally in gold prices kept core inflation elevated at 4.7%, with gold contributing 30% to core inflation. Unlike gold, lower weightage of silver in the CPI basket led to negligible impact on inflation. Inflation averaged 10bps lower than RBI’s expectation of 1.8% in 2QFY26; the downside risk to inflation persists in 3Q as well. We expect inflation to average below 2.5% in FY26, opening up policy space for monetary easing in December,” said Hitesh Suvarna of JM Financial Institutional Securities.
Result Update: HCL Tech | Back on track
“HCLT’s 2Q performance ticked most boxes. Revenues grew 2.4% cc QoQ, beating JMFe: 1.2%. Growth construct was better too with core Services segment (+2.5% cc QoQ; JMFe) driving the beat. Even in Software, growth was stronger in annuity revenues (Subs/Support) even as lumpy perpetual licenses dragged. Despite the mix (lower software), margins were better (17.4% vs JMFe: 17.1%). Deal wins were higher (Net new: USD 2.6bn; +16% YoY) and granular (no mega deals). Advance AI revenues, disclosed for the first time, are clocking USD 400mn ARR. HCL is doubling down on its AI proposition (AI Force/AI Factory) with strengthened GTM, AI advisory and expanded partnership ecosystem. These are helping HCL win deals, though at the expense of revenue deflation in core services at times. HCLT’s confidence of stepping up its quarterly net new TCV run-rate to USD 2.5bn+ (from USD 2bn) should offset this deflation. We will however seek more consistent TCV print to build growth acceleration. Besides, modest ask rate (0.3-1.5% CQGR in 2HFY26 for Services), lag between TCV pick-up and revenue conversion and unchanged consol. revenue guidance (3-5%) limit changes to our FY26-28E revenues. Moreover, increase R&D spend (on IPs) and mix change (lower Software) offset 2Q beat on margins. Our FY26-27E EPS is therefore little changed. HCLT is leveraging its strengths in engineering, infrastructure and software to make good strides in AI-centred services. Those should help it navigate AI’s deflationary impact better than peers, in our view. 8% upmove since our upgrade and limited earnings upgrade however limit upside. We retain Add,” said Abhishek Kumar of JM Financial Institutional Securities.
Market Outlook Today By Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments
A significant takeaway from the last one year market performance is the outperformance of large caps (Nifty up by 1.05%) and the underperformance of smallcaps ( Nifty Smallcap index down by 4.77%). Equally significant is the outperformance of PSU banks ( Nifty PSU bank index up by 16.77%) and the huge underperformance of IT ( Nifty IT down by 16.5%). One common feature in these trends is the valuation. IT stocks, particularly the largecaps, are viewed as overvalued by the market since they are facing many headwinds and some strong structural issues. On the other hand PSU stocks have been trading at very low valuations despite decent growth and robust balance sheets. This anomaly in valuations have been corrected by the market. This trend is likely to continue. However, in growth stocks like digital companies and renewable energy, their long-term growth potential will continue to attract investment despite high valuations.
