www.rupeedesk.inStocks of most
capital goods companies are seen rangebound next week with absence of any major
sector-specific triggers. However, investors are seen bullish on shares of
sector bellwether Larsen & Toubro, state-owned Bharat Heavy Electricals and
Avantha Group-owned Crompton Greaves. L&T yesterday said it is in talks with
a global investor for selling stake in its subsidiary. The company has also
sought Foreign Investment Promotion Board's approval for foreign direct
investment for its arm.
In September, the Mumbai-based capital goods and
engineering major had said it expects its arm L&T IDPL to have an equity
requirement of around 82 bln rupees over 2014-18. L&T IDPL has been looking
to raise around 20 bln rupees through equity infusion by an investor, the
management had said. In addition to this, L&T has traditionally posted
strong results in the second half of the financial year as a lot of large
government orders get finalized during this time.
Stocks of electrical
equipment maker Crompton Greaves are also seen trading with a positive bias as
the company is expected to show improvement in its Oct-Dec quarter results,
owing to the completion of restructuring at its plant in Belgium.
