Global Markets check

Asian shares extended declines on Thursday after the U.S. Federal Reserve signaled a higher bar to further easings, while the Bank of Japan also held off from offering more stimulus as some had hoped.

The Fed cut rates for the second time this year as global growth risks intensified, forcing policymakers around the world to step up efforts to stimulate their economies. Earlier in the day, the BOJ kept policy steady as expected, though there were some expectations the Japanese central bank would ramp up its already massive stimulus.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.6 per cent. Hong Kong shares shed 1.36 per cent, but Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.43 per cent.

 

The pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures were down 0.06 per cent, German DAX futures off 0.1 per cent, and FTSE futures lost 0.27 per cent.

Sharekhan on HCL Technologies

Reco: BUY

 

Target Price: Rs 1,250

 

HCL Tech is expected to deliver strong organic growth among large peers in FY2020E, led by robust organic growth (14% y-o-y CC) in Q1FY2020, large addressable opportunity in IMS, and strong growth in Engineering R&D Services (ERS) business. Further, investments in digital technology would help the company build digital competencies, which would provide a sustainable growth momentum going forward. However, we believe aggressive capital allocation towards the product business remains a risk to its business model and integration of recent acquisitions remains the primary focus area. At the CMP, the stock trades at 13x/12x its FY2020E/FY2021E earnings estimates, which looks attractive and is at a discount to peers despite better revenue growth. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with an unchanged PT of Rs 1,250.
