New Research Reports

Asian Markets are trading in positive territory as investors await to see the extent of the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on corporate earnings and economic data expected from Wall Street this week. Nikkei is trading higher by 0.38%, Hang Seng is trading up by 0.64%.

UltraTech Cement’s (UTCEM) commentary on short-term challenges (mainly low demand in Q1FY26 and no comments on price hike sustainability) may unnerve a few investors. However, we continue to believe in our sector revival hypothesis (of reducing competitive intensity) and of UTCEM being its largest beneficiary.

KPIT Tech did not provide revenue guidance for FY26, acknowledging uncertain demand environment and soft H1. Though it had strong deal TCV of USD 925mn (+16% YoY) in FY25, it is seeing slow deal ramp-up.
