Indian equities – Attractive Valuations

• Over the long term, stock market indices in India are growing around the same rate as the

nominal GDP

‒ Historically, whenever indices have grown significantly less than nominal GDP in any

extended period of, say 10 years, they have delivered higher returns in next 10 years

& vice versa. Interestingly, we are in a similar situation presently (Table 1 grown

significantly less)

• Marketcap to GDP at 61% and CY21(E) P/E of ~15x is attractive, specially at a time when

NIFTY50 profit growth is estimated at 18% CAGR over FY19-22E and interest rates are low

• 1Y-Forward NIFTY 50 Earning yield [i.e. 100/ (one year forward P/E)] less 10Y Gsec yield is ~

(0.4%) vs 10 year average of (1.7%). This indicates that equities are attractively valued

relative to current bond yields.

India market cap to GDP ratio, calendar year-ends 2005-21E (%)

Low Marketcap to GDP, Bond yields equal to Earnings yield and recovery in profit growth

make us optimistic on equity markets over medium to long term

• Equities benefit in several ways from lower interest rates:

• Lower interest rates mean lower interest expense & higher profits

• Lower interest rates imply higher fair P/E multiples

• Lower interest rates improve economic growth prospects

• HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund with an overweight position in equities is positioned well for current environment

with a medium to long term view.

“ Low rates reduces the discount factor used in calculating the net present value of future cash flows. Thus, all

else being equal, there is a direct connection between declining interest rates and rising asset prices ”

– Howard Marks

Lower interest rates: Positive for equities

• BSE PSU Index was performing broadly in line with/ outperforming the BSE Sensex

Index for 18 years from 2000 to end 2017 (see adjacent chart). However, since then in last 2

years there has been sharp divergence with BSE PSU Index underperforming by 50% vs BSE

SENSEX

• In our opinion, Divestment through ETF’s has impacted PSU stocks performance as:

‒ Regular supply of PSU shares through various ETFs distorts market demand and supply

‒ Discount offered on ETF’s creates interest amongst arbitragers & short term investors as against

long term investors.

• An announcement of a strategic sale in BPCL, Air India, Cochin Shipyard, Shipping

Corporation suggests a significant shift in strategy with ETF utility as disinvestment took on the

decline

Will strategic sale route preferred over ETFs for divestment change things going forward ?

• Between FY02 & FY05 a large number of disinvestments took place through strategic route or

an offer for sale route. The market reaction to the same was positive with BSE PSU Index

outperforming BSE SENSEX by ~170% in 3 years as can be seen from adjacent chart.

• For several years now, strong growth in profits has been elusive

• For all the noise, slowdown in NIFTY 50 profit growth was led almost

entirely by falling profits in Corporate Banks (Table 1). Share of Corporate

Banks in NIFTY 50 profits fell from 12% to 3% between FY13 & FY19

(Table 2)

• With profitability of Corporate Banks normalizing, the overall NIFTY 50

profit growth is expected to bounce back

• Normalization in profitability and RoE of Corporate Banks is expected by

FY22E as slippages and provision costs are falling and recoveries are

increasing.

NIFTY profit growth of 18% CAGR is expected between FY19 and FY22E led by recovery in profitability of Corporate Banks

Key overweight sectors / themes

Corporate Banks & Financials• Gross NPA and net NPA have peaked and are declining. Resolution of

NPA’s through IBC is gaining traction

• Slippages and provision costs are falling and recoveries are increasingresulting in normalization in profitability and RoE

Utilities• New generation capacity addition has moderated while demand

continues to grow. PLF of coal-based plants is thus improving

• Attractive Valuation compared to past as well as global peers

• Healthy dividend yields which are higher than / near bond yields

Key underweight sectors / themes

Consumer Discretionary• Sharp de-growth in 2W/4W wholesale volumes due to weak

demand and inventory correction

• The transition to BSVI will lead to higher vehicle prices and is a

near term headwind. EVs are likely to emerge as a threat in 3Ws

followed by 2Ws over the next few years

• Rich valuations compared to past as well as global peers

Consumer Staples• Penetration of key segments has improved significantly over past 2

decades. Thus, Growth rates have come down in the last 5 years

• Valuations are high relative to past

• HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund has delivered more than 10% CAGR over 10 year periods in 100% instances (10-10-100 Fund), since inception in 1994

• This is consistent with the belief that equities are a long term asset class and that risk generally reduces as holding period increases.

• HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund maintains significant exposure to equities (At least 65% of Total Assets) and is therefore suited for long term investors

with investment horizon of 5 years or more.

Interest Rates Outlook – Factors tilted towards lower yields

Factors supporting lower yields

• Concerns over global growth due to disruption caused by spread of coronavirus

• Sharp rate cuts by major central banks; easing bias likely to continue; Potential

for rate cuts in India as well

• Sharp fall in commodity prices especially crude oil to soften inflation

• Sharp fall in crude price to ease pressure on Centre’s fiscal deficit; room to

augment revenue by raising excise duty on petrol & diesel

• Accommodative stance to remain till “it is necessary to revive growth” - RBI

• Unconventional tools used by RBI to improve transmission of rate cuts

(Operation TWIST & LTROs)

• Muted credit growth vs. deposit growth; Ample global and domestic liquidity

Factors opposing lower yields

• Excess SLR securities holding of PSU banks

• Risk of fiscal slippage for next year

• Continued forex intervention can lead to lower OMOs

• Food prices may keep near term inflation over 6%

• Domestic growth possibly bottoming out

Yields are likely to trade with a downward bias

* Month-end 10Y benchmark yield less headline inflation for the month
