TIC’s take

Positive traction is expected in KTL’s stock as net tangible profit is expected to soar due to import pressures. Nominal sell off is expected in Kushal Tradelink due to profit booking as the company recently declared its second interim dividend.

With over 20,000 shareholders, Kushal Tradelink Ltd is a trusted brand on the bourse. The company has declared Rs.250 crore supply deal with Shree Rama Newsprints and Rs.1000 crore deal with Bunge India Pvt Ltd. The company has also announced an undisclosed amounted deal with Adrion Enterprise Pvt Ltd.  

Indian Paper industry has evolved into Agro-based industry from its earlier character of a forest-based industry. Indian paper industry accounts for about 1.6% of the world’s production of paper and paperboard. The estimated turnover of the industry is Rs. 25,000 core (USD 5.95 billion) approximately.

Major analytical firms like Nomura, JP Morgan and UBS are of an view that the worst of the Indian stock market is over and the market will see a bounce back. The Indian Capitalist is of a similar view and we expect BSE Sensex to reach 28,500 by Diwali. BSE Midcaps and SME will outperform in the rally.

Government of India’s decision to allow 100% FDI in newspaper and magazines would bring movement in net sales of news print papers and coated papers.With ease of regulation and industry partnerships, the scrip of Kushal Tradelink Ltd is expected to reach par Rs.170. The Indian Capitalist gives Buy status to the stock of Kushal Tradelink Ltd.
