- Corporate revenue rose 12 per cent but operating and net profits retreated An examination of the fourth quarter (January-March 2023) results of nearly 500 listed companies shows a drop in profits. However, companies' revenues have increased and consumption is showing early signs of improvement. Costs have increased due to inflation. Higher borrowing costs and rising wage bills are also weighing on margins. The operating income of these companies has increased by 14 percent year-on-year. Operating expenses have also increased by 13 percent, while employee related expenses have increased by 23 percent and interest expenses by 37 percent. Operating profit rose 16 percent but net profit remained more or less flat at 0.7 percent due to higher borrowing costs. If volatile sectors such as refineries, banks and non-banking financial companies are excluded from this, the results look worse. In that case, revenue is up 12 percent but operating profit is down 4 percent while net profit i...

India is far from formulating a successful strategy of economic policy and integration The government's focus appears to be on increasing exports of high-value goods to high-income countries and reducing fiscal deficits. Looking at the available data, this policy seems to have met with moderate success. According to April 2023 data released on Monday, the deficit in exports of goods and services fell to a 21-month low. The figures for the financial year 2022-23 also show that despite this growth rate being less than 7 percent, exports have increased. But after studying the statistics separately and taking a long-term view, it does not seem so. India is far from formulating a successful strategy of economic policy and integration. A slight change in the demand for oil and precious stones also reduces the goods export deficit, but this cannot be the basis of stability in the external account. Export of services from the country is certainly increasing but it is not part of the gov...

As the Lok Sabha elections are going to be held next year, there will be uncertainty in the markets The first four months of calendar year 2023 have been extremely volatile for global markets. At current levels, markets have not reflected the impact of key concerns, leaving the possibility of weak domestic growth or a cyclical slowdown. In December last year, the Nifty was targeting 19,030 in calendar year 2023. Whether this is achievable now given high interest rates, inflation and a potential recession is impossible to say. According to market insiders, the macroeconomic outlook remains uncertain. We are now very close to the top of the rate hike cycle. However, if the path of inflation remains uncertain, the policy environment may be affected. Prolonged high rates could lead to a sharp recession, especially in developed markets. These large uncertainties can adversely affect the markets. However, India could emerge stronger amid this recessionary cycle, Nomura Securities sources...
