SAIL shines on strong Q2

Shares of the state-owned steel maker jumped by 13% intraday after it reported its best-ever quarterly consolidated net profit at ₹4,339 crore, up 11%  quarter-on-quarter. The rise in the profit was aided by a 30% rise in the revenue to ₹26,828 crore.

The company also managed to cut its gross borrowing by over ₹12,800 crore and it now stands at ₹22,478 crore at the end of the September quarter. Meanwhile, shares of Steel Authority of India (SAIL) pared some of their gains and closed 8.8% higher.


Passenger vehicle sales growth mixed bag

Tata Motors witnessed a 44% year-on-year jump in domestic passenger vehicle (PV) sales in October ‘21. Interestingly, within its PV segment sales of electric vehicles (EV) rose sharply by 276%, albeit over a low base.

Meanwhile, India’s largest PV maker Maruti Suzuki saw a 33% fall in its sales volumes. The company had to undertake production cuts due to semi-conductor shortage. During October, its exports bounced back and grew 122% cushioning weak overall sales. Utility vehicle maker, M&M saw 8% rise in its PV sales volumes. Shares of Maruti Suzuki India (+1.6%), Tata Motors (+0.5%) and M&M (-1.4%) showed mixed bag reactions.


Closing bell

A bounce-back after sharp correction is how trends develop in the normal course of the market. All sectoral indices closed in green indicating all-round buying. Major international indices too lent positive cues. However, on the flip side, the US 10-year treasury bond yields and the US dollar index are showing signs of moving up, which doesn’t augur well for the equity markets in general. Experts traders will take rise in the equities with a pinch of salt till Nifty50 moves above 18350, its recent lower top, especially in this holiday truncated week.


Good to know

What is gross debt?

Gross debt or borrowing is the total value of a company’s debt. For example, if a company borrows ₹1 crore from a bank and raises ₹2 crore through issuance of bonds, then its total gross debt is ₹3 crore. It’s different from net debt, which is calculated by subtracting cash and liquid assets from the gross debt. It’s important to check the gross debt numbers of a company as it reflects how it is financing itself and growing its business.
