Microsoft completed the acquisition of professional social network LinkedIn for $26.2 billion:

Before 8 years, Microsoft completed its acquisition of professional social network LinkedIn for $26.2 billion, marking a major deal in the technology and social networking fields. This acquisition not only provides Microsoft with a solid foothold in the social networking field, but also significantly enhances Microsoft's competitiveness in the cloud computing, artificial intelligence and enterprise services markets by integrating LinkedIn's extensive data and services. For LinkedIn, joining Microsoft's camp not only brings more technical resources and business opportunities, but also promotes the rapid growth of its user base and service scope, thus bringing significant long-term benefits and market influence to both parties. 

 This makes block trading an efficient way for institutional investors, who may need to handle large amounts of funds and securities.

 It should be noted that block trading is not available to all investors. Typically, block trades are only open to specific institutional investors or investors who meet certain conditions. This is to ensure smooth transactions and protect market fairness.

 Block trading plays an important role in capital markets, providing institutional investors with a flexible trading method that allows them to meet specific investment needs and strategies.
At the same time, block trades can also have a certain impact on the market, especially in terms of the price and liquidity of the stocks or securities involved.

 For example, assuming the market capitalization of a stock is 1 billion rupees, then usually the float market capitalization of this stock is about 100-200 million rupees. When a listed company or a large stock holder wants to sell a part of its stock, but is worried that simultaneous trading of a large number of stocks will cause abnormal fluctuations in the secondary market, it will choose to conduct block transactions.

The Companies often buy and sell shares in block trades as part of their capital operations, such as equity financing or share buybacks.

An important characteristic of block trades is the large size of the transaction. It involves a larger number of shares or securities, which may be several times or even more than an ordinary transaction.
Therefore, there is room for a premium when trading. This premium space is usually between 5% and 20%, and is determined by negotiation between the parties to the transaction.


 Block trading is an important phenomenon in the financial market. It involves a large amount of funds and securities and has a profound impact on market operations and investor behavior.
Institutional traders do have many significant advantages over individual investors. Because they control a huge amount of funds and a unified trading strategy.

Kalyani family feud deepens;Hiremath siblings move court for share in HUF assets:

The ties between the Hiremaths and Baba Kalyani broke down over control of Kalyani Group company Hikal. The Hiremaths moved the Bombay HC in 2023 alleging that Kalyani wasn't honouring a family arrangement he had reached with his father that pledged to transfer all the Hikal shares to them. Baba Kalyani said the family arrangement of 1994 was just a "note" by his father Neelkanth Kalyani and not a legally binding document. The case is pending in court.

A new front has opened in the row between Bharat Forge chairman Baba Kalyani and his sister Sugandha. Sameer and Pallavi, children of Sugandha and Jai Hiremath, have filed suit in a Pune court seeking partition of the Kalyani family assets to claim their share of the Kalyani Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) assets, which includes Bharat Forge as well as listed and privately held companies.

The ties between the Hiremaths and Baba Kalyani broke down over control of Kalyani Group company Hikal. The Hiremaths moved the Bombay High Court in 2023 alleging that Kalyani wasn't honouring a family arrangement he had reached with his father that pledged to transfer all the Hikal shares to them. Baba Kalyani said the family arrangement of 1994 was just a "note" by his father Neelkanth Kalyani and not a legally binding document. The case is pending in court.

A Kalyani Group spokesperson said it's not been served with any suit.

Sameer and Pallavi Hiremath said in their submission, that Baba Kalyani has been enjoying sole benefit of the HUF's assets and hasn't shared information about them with the rest of the family. They said the Kalyani family assets were created due to the efforts of great-grandfather Annappa N Kalyani (ANK), a successful businessman and agriculturist. The Kalyani Group comprises eight listed companies with a combined market capitalisation of ₹69,300 crore. Bharat Forge dominates with a valuation of ₹52,600 crore, with the Kalyani Group having a 45.25% stake in it. Hikal's market value at the end of Tuesday trade was ₹3,324 crore.

The suit stated that Annappa Kalyani invested family funds in various businesses. These were in the form of companies, proprietary concerns or partnership firms, adding that Neelkanth Kalyani actively participated in the family businesses.

The siblings have asserted their right by stating that they are coparceners in the Kalyani Family HUF by virtue of the 2005 Amendment to Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Accordingly, they are within their rights to seek a partition of the Kalyani Family HUF in their own respective rights as coparceners of the Kalyani Family HUF.

लाभांश प्रतिफल निष्क्रिय आय से अधिक है: 4.14- 5.67% प्रतिफल वाले 6 पीएसयू स्टॉक:

स्टॉक मूल्य और लाभांश प्रतिफल में विपरीत संबंध होता है, लेकिन इस विपरीत संबंध के शुरू होने से पहले संतुलन का एक स्तर होता है। अब संतुलन का यह स्तर एक व्यक्तिपरक स्तर है जो जोखिम मुक्त ब्याज दर स्तर के अनुसार चलता है जो एफडी प्रदान करता है। लेकिन एक और संतुलन स्तर है जिसे गणितीय समीकरण हल नहीं कर सकते। मंदी के बाजार में बेहतर प्रदर्शन करने की उचित संभावना वाले स्टॉक। उचित शब्द का उपयोग व्यक्तिपरकता के तत्व को लाता है।

पीएसयू स्टॉक ने अपने उच्च लाभांश प्रतिफल के लिए ध्यान आकर्षित किया, जिसे कम मूल्यांकित अवसरों और शेयरधारकों को लाभ वापस करने की प्रतिबद्धता के संकेतक के रूप में देखा गया। हालांकि, बाद में बाजार में तेजी ने पूंजीगत लाभ की ओर ध्यान केंद्रित किया क्योंकि पीएसयू स्टॉक की कीमतों में उछाल आया, जिससे उनके लाभांश प्रतिफल में कमी आई। इसके बावजूद, उच्च लाभांश प्रतिफल एक सुरक्षा जाल के रूप में काम करना जारी रखते हैं, जो निवेशकों के लिए सुरक्षा का मार्जिन प्रदान करते हैं, खासकर जब बाजार का मूल्यांकन बढ़ता है और पूंजीगत लाभ की संभावनाएं नियमित आय धाराओं को प्रभावित करती हैं।  अब यह लाभांश प्रतिफल अपने आप में एक संकेतक है जिसका उपयोग यह पता लगाने के लिए किया जा सकता है कि क्या किसी को सुधार के समय घबराकर स्टॉक बेचना चाहिए या नहीं। जब बाजार में सुधार होता है, और इन शेयरों की लाभांश प्रतिफल कुछ स्तरों, जैसे कि 7% से अधिक हो जाती है, तो वे फिर से आकर्षक हो जाते हैं, खासकर संस्थागत निवेशकों के बीच जो वृद्धि पर आय को प्राथमिकता देते हैं। यह फिर से जागृत रुचि स्टॉक की कीमतों को स्थिर कर सकती है, जो निवेश रणनीतियों में दोहरे उद्देश्य वाले उपकरण के रूप में लाभांश प्रतिफल के महत्व को रेखांकित करती है जो लगातार आय प्रदान करती है और बाजार की अस्थिरता के खिलाफ एक बफर के रूप में कार्य करती है, एक ऐसा पहलू जिसे अधिकांश निवेशक अनदेखा करते हैं।

प्रत्येक स्टॉक को 1 से 10 के पैमाने पर रैंक किया गया है। 8 से 10 का स्कोर सकारात्मक माना जाता है, 4 से 7 तटस्थ और 1 से 3 को नकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण दिया जाता है। इस लेख के उद्देश्य के लिए, हमने केवल उन NSE स्टॉक पर विचार किया है जिनके पास विवेकपूर्ण विश्लेषकों के समुदाय द्वारा तटस्थ से सकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण है। इन अंकों के अलावा, रिपोर्ट में निवेशक को बेहतर और सूचित निवेश निर्णय लेने में मदद करने के लिए प्रवृत्ति विश्लेषण, सहकर्मी विश्लेषण और औसत विश्लेषकों की सिफारिशें भी शामिल हैं।  नीचे 24 मार्च, 2024 की स्टॉक रिपोर्ट प्लस से चयनित स्टॉक की सूची दी गई है, जिसमें न्यूनतम औसत स्टॉक रिपोर्ट प्लस स्कोर 6 और न्यूनतम लाभांश उपज 4% है।

स्टॉक रडार: SRF साप्ताहिक चार्ट पर नीचे की ओर झुकी हुई ट्रेंडलाइन से ऊपर निकल गया; खरीदने का समय आ गया है?

SRF Ltd ने नीचे की ओर झुकी हुई ट्रेंडलाइन प्रतिरोध को तोड़ दिया, सितंबर 2022 में रिकॉर्ड ऊंचाई पर पहुंच गया। मूल्य कार्रवाई के संदर्भ में, स्टॉक को एक सप्ताह में 4% से अधिक बढ़ने से पहले 2000 के स्तर से ऊपर समर्थन मिला। स्टॉक अब दैनिक चार्ट पर 5,10,30,50,100 और 200-DMA जैसे अधिकांश महत्वपूर्ण अल्पकालिक और दीर्घकालिक मूविंग एवरेज से ऊपर कारोबार कर रहा है। अल्पकालिक व्यापारियों को 2900 के लक्ष्य के लिए खरीदने की सलाह दी जाती है।

स्पेशलिटी केमिकल स्पेस का हिस्सा SRF Ltd पिछले 12-15 महीनों से रेंज-बाउंड बना हुआ है, लेकिन यह साप्ताहिक चार्ट पर नीचे की ओर झुकी हुई ट्रेंडलाइन प्रतिरोध को तोड़ने में कामयाब रहा।

विशेषज्ञों का सुझाव है कि अल्पकालिक व्यापारी अगले 2 महीनों में 2900 के संभावित लक्ष्य के लिए अभी स्टॉक खरीदने पर विचार कर सकते हैं।

 सितंबर 2022 में स्पेशलिटी केमिकल स्टॉक ने 2800 के स्तर से ऊपर रिकॉर्ड ऊंचाई को छुआ, लेकिन यह गति को बनाए रखने में विफल रहा। तब से इसमें मूल्य-वार सुधार देखा गया है।

स्टॉक को जुलाई 2023 में एक बार 2000 के स्तर से ऊपर और फिर अक्टूबर 2023 में साप्ताहिक चार्ट पर वापस उछाल से पहले समर्थन मिला।

स्टॉक में एक सप्ताह में 4% से अधिक की वृद्धि हुई, जिससे स्टॉक को सितंबर 2022, मई 2023 और दिसंबर 2023 के उच्च स्तरों को जोड़ने वाली नीचे की ओर झुकी हुई ट्रेंडलाइन से बाहर निकलने में मदद मिली।

एसएमसी ग्लोबल सिक्योरिटीज के वरिष्ठ तकनीकी विश्लेषक शितिज गांधी ने कहा, "पिछले 15 महीनों में एसआरएफ स्टॉक की ऐतिहासिक चाल 2600-2200 क्षेत्रों की व्यापक सीमा के भीतर समेकन का संकेत देती है। हालांकि, अल्पकालिक चार्ट पर, स्टॉक को लगातार 2200-2300 क्षेत्र के आसपास समर्थन मिला है।"  उन्होंने कहा, "दीर्घावधि के नीचे की ओर झुके चैनल के ऊपर एक उल्लेखनीय ब्रेकआउट है, साथ ही समेकन चरण से ब्रेकआउट भी है, जो वॉल्यूम गतिविधि में अचानक वृद्धि द्वारा चिह्नित है।"

BAT sells 3.5% stake in ITC. Will the block deal fuel FMCG major's stock?

Owing to the BAT stake sale news, ITC was up recently on intraday basis by 4.5% when broader markets were bleeding. In the past three months, the stock has underperformed the Nifty. But investors are now optimistic and feel ITC should perform well as its revenue is getting diversified, while the dependency on cigarettes has reduced.

British American Tobacco (BAT), the dominant shareholder in ITC, has sold 3.5% of its stake in the company through bulk and block deals for an average price of INR400. The stock currently trades at INR420 levels.

BAT previously held 29% stake in ITC and the recent sell-off has pushed down the shareholding to 25.5%. Owing to the stake sale the stock was recently up on intraday basis by 4.5% when the broader markets were bleeding with Nifty 50 being down 1.5%. On a year-to- day period (past three months) when Nifty 50 was up 1.5%, ITC was down 10%. The recent news of stock sale by BAT moved up the stock. Even on a yearly basis the Nifty 50 is up 30% while ITC was down by 10%.

But now investors are optimistic and feel the company should outperform the broader market as its revenue is getting diversified and is not so much dependent on cigarettes.

"We expect resumption in the stock's outperformance given our fundamental view of a moderate and infrequent cigarette tax environment and continued scale of non-cigarette businesses, important catalysts for the stock's re-rating." stated the Morgan Stanley research.

Over the past 10 years, the company has seen its ROCE fall from 52% to a low of 32% in FY20. It started to rise after 2021, when some of the non-cigarette businesses started to show profitability. For FY23, the ROCE was at 39%. The company's stock price went up by 74% between 2021 and 2023.

"These are changing times for ITC. However, it will take a long time for all its business verticals to play out. It is for the patient investor. Until then the hefty dividends are more than enough for investors such as ourselves," says VP Rajesh, managing partner at Banyan Capital.

Globally, tobacco stocks are down in the last one year, except ITC. So, it came in as a bit of surprise when BAT announced a stake sale in ITC to buy back its own shares.

Altria Group, BAT, and Phillip Morris, all were down in the last one year between 1% and 22%, whereas ITC was up 10% during the same period. BAT was down the highest at 21%.

Stock picks: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement, upside potential up to 44%:

Indian markets will open for trade when the global markets have been in a positive mood. Now it is not every day that one should correlate what has happened in global markets and how the Indian markets have behaved. But at times, these correlations become important because they are able to shed some light on what might happen in near term. In the last few days, the Indian market has been charting its own volatile course with bearish bias even when global markets have been inching higher. But that was probably due to India specific, like advisory on small cap and mid cap funds. But now with a spike in oil prices, does it mean some macro headwinds to which the market is adjusting the prices. These selected stocks depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars i.e. earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame.

While it is always better to focus on what is happening to the individual stocks, there times it becomes "a must" before taking any decision. The reason, there is a possibility of greater divergence in how the broader market indices like Nifty and Sensex move and how the individual stocks and sector perform. For example, if there is recovery in metal prices, the integrated metal producer might see an uptick in their margins, however their user industry will suffer shrinking margins.

As an investor, be careful in making a distinction between narrative and real change in the working of a company.

Dividend yield is more than passive income:6 PSU stocks with 4.14- 5.67% yield:

Stock price and dividend yields have an inverse relationship but before this inverse relationship kicks in there is a level of equilibrium. Now this level of equilibrium is a subjective level which moves according to risk free interest rate level which FD provides. But there is another equilibrium level which mathematical equations don't solve. Stocks with reasonable probability of outperforming in a bearish market. The use of the word reasonable brings in the element of subjectivity.

PSU stocks garnered attention for their high dividend yields, seen as indicators of undervalued opportunities and a commitment to returning profits to shareholders. 

Each stock is ranked on a scale of 1 to 10. A score of 8 to 10 is considered positive, 4 to 7 is neutral and 1 to 3 is given a negative outlook. For the purpose of this article, we have taken into consideration only those NSE stocks which have a neutral to positive outlook by the community of prudent analysts.In addition to these scores, the report also contains trend analysis, peer analysis and mean analysts' recommendations to help an investor make better & informed investment decisions.

Stock Radar: SRF breaks above downward sloping trendline on weekly charts; time to buy?

SRF Ltd broke above downward sloping trendline resistance, hitting a record high in September 2022. In terms of price action, the stock found support above 2000 levels before rising over 4% in a week. The stock is now trading above most of the crucial short- and long- term moving averages such as 5,10,30,50,100 and 200-DMA on the daily charts. Short-term traders are advised to buy for a 2900 target.

SRF Ltd, part of the specialty chemical space, remained range-bound for the past 12-15 months but it managed to break above downward sloping trendline resistance on the weekly charts.

Short-term traders can look to buy the stock now for a possible target of 2900 in the next 2 months, suggest experts.

The specialty chemical stock hit a record high above 2800 levels in September 2022 but it failed to hold on to the momentum. It has witnessed a price-wise correction since then.

The stock found support above 2000 levels once in July 2023 and then again in October 2023 on the weekly charts before bouncing back.

The stock rose more than 4% in a week which helped the stock to break out from a downward-sloping trendline connecting the highs of September 2022, May 2023, and December 2023.

"SRF stock's historical movement over the last 15 months indicates consolidation within a broader range of 2600-2200 zones. However, on short-term charts, the stock has consistently found support around the 2200-2300 zone," Shitij Gandhi, Senior Technical Analyst, SMC Global Securities, said.

"There's a notable breakout above the long-term downward sloping channel, coupled with a breakout from the consolidation phase, marked by a sudden spike in volume activity," he said.
