Contrarian Moves: Promoter Buying During Indian Equity Downturns
- Promoter buying reflects insider confidence in the company’s future, often driven by access to undisclosed positive developments and growth opportunities.
- Increased promoter stake may indicate that the market has undervalued the company, potentially presenting an opportunity for investors to buy at a discount.
- Consider the broader market environment, company fundamentals, and industry trends alongside promoter buying activity to form a comprehensive investment thesis.
Bank of Jiujiang – Rare Announcement Expecting at Least 30% Profit Decline
- The bank’s announcement that it expects at least a 30% decline in profit due to impairments is rare, in its clarity, not unexpected in the content.
- There may be gaining momentum for banks in Greater China to more clearly show their credit metrics, which given economies there, are not likely to be positive.
- Credit costs to loans have been in decline at this bank, and the surge they are forecasting, is understandable; perhaps partly given developments at China Evergrande?
Ohayo Japan | Fed Holds the Line
- US markets surged to new all-time highs on Wednesday following the Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain its benchmark lending rate at 5.25%
- The Japanese government faces pressure to streamline finances following the Bank of Japan’s decision to end negative rates
- Japan welcomed 2.79 million visitors in February, a record for the month since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by travel during Lunar New Year holidays
