Stocks outperforming the index ahead of results, with broker upgrades

As we enter the September quarter results season, some stocks are beginning to pop with investors, indicating anticipation of a strong Q2. Right now, both analysts and investors are gravitating to one set of companies in particular - those in the technology sector.

Five of six stocks in this screener (live screener, so stocks will keep updating) filters for three criteria - 1) upcoming results 2) broker upgrade in the past three months and 3) weekly performance beating the Nifty500 - are currently technology stocks. Q2 is a seasonally strong sector for tech, and analysts are expecting a good performance for much of Indian IT. 

1) Persistent Systems: This tech company is the biggest gainer in the list this past week, rising by over 10% in share price. Persistent has been in the news regarding recent acquisitions and Axis Direct is bullish on the stock, despite its PE of nearly 60. 

2) Mphasis: The Blackstone-controlled tech company has also been gaining in the past week, with recent buzz around the company's acquisition of US firm Blink, that gives it access to large US tech businesses that are Blink's customers including Facebook and Google. The acquisition has enthused analysts including Prabhudas Liladhar to assign a BUY rating on the stock. It's PE TTM is 47+.

3) Mindtree: Mindtree has ridden the Covid wave in the past three quarters, with its share price rising over 200% in the past year. Brokerages have been bullish on Mindtree, and Indian software's second tier is expected to continue growing faster than the Tier 1 companies of TCS, Infosys and Wipro. 

4) Zensar Technologies: Zensar Technologies is a relatively under the radar Indian IT company which has recently been in the upswing since its new CEO Ajay Bhutoria took the reins. The company saw significant momentum in deal wins in the past quarter, as it booked orders worth over $96 million.

5) Asian Paints: The only non-tech company in this screener is the market leader in the paints industry. Besides its index outperformance and expectations of a strong Q2 ahead of India's festival season, this company has also seen mutual funds raise their holdings in the stock in the past month. 

See the full screener. This screener will continue to update through the results season.

Five Interesting Stocks Today
  1. Chemplast Sanmar: This specialty chemical maker’s stock has got institutional investors and rating agencies excited. Earlier this week, Mirae Asset Mutual Fund purchased an additional 81,000 shares in the company. The mutual fund is still holding on to its 29.5 lakh shares that it purchased when the stock was listed on exchanges in August 2021. The chemical maker’s stock listed at a 3% discount, but since then has gained 36%. Rating agency Crisil gave the company’s long term loans an A+ rating with a positive outlook.

  2. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation: This PSU oil and gas company’s stock is up by 27% in less than two months amid news of a looming energy crisis. The stock has outperformed O&G peers  — Indian Oil Corporation, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation as well as the benchmark Nifty50 in the past year. Even after this rally, its trailing 12-month (TTM) price to earnings (PE) ratio is 4.2 times, against an average PE of 6.4, placing it in the buy-zone.

  3. Tata Motors: This automobile maker’s electric passenger vehicle (electric PV) sales are skyrocketing. In September 2021, the company sold over 1,070 electric PVs, a 3.5X growth over the previous year and a 5% growth over the previous month’s sales. Electric PVs now make up over 4% of its total PV wholesales. In addition to the high electric PV sales, the company’s commercial vehicle wholesales grew by 33% YoY and its internal combustion engine (or ICE) passenger vehicle sales grew by 18% YoY in September.

In Q2, bookings rose by 49% YoY to Rs 1,032 crore (33% of FY21’s total sales bookings) with a 51% growth in sales volumes to 13 lakh square feet of properties. The company expects the festive season and its new launches to sustain the sales momentum in Q3 and Q4. In the past month, the Nifty Realty index jumped by 25% while Sobha lagged with a 10% growth.
