Stock Recommendations Today: LIC, Mahindra & Mahindra, Mazagon Dock, Ola Electric On Brokerages' Radar
- Life Insurance Corp. of India, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. and Ola Electric Mobility Ltd. are among the top companies on brokerages' radar on Monday.
- Analysts have given their take on the RBI Monetary Policy Committee meet, which concluded on Friday. RBI’s growth forecasts align with the Ministry of Finance.
- Macquarie expects further cuts of 25-50bps. The key factor will be how much loan and deposit growth recovers from current levels of 11%.
- Nomura expects 75bps of further rate cuts and increased liquidity easing. The RBI has adopted a more relaxed exchange rate approach, intervening mainly to manage volatility, the brokerage said.
- In terms of stocks, Macquarie maintained an 'outperform' rating on M&M and raised the target price to Rs 3,643 from Rs 3,511.
- Nomura maintained a 'buy' rating on M&M, raising the target price to Rs 3,681 from Rs 3,664.
- The company exceeded revenue expectations in third quarter, as the impact of post-festive discounts was lower. Management focused on improving service network coverage and product quality, although GS lowered estimates by 2-5% to account for lower ASP growth.
- Nomura initiated coverage with a 'buy' rating and a target price of Rs 750.
- Goldman Sachs Maintained a 'neutral' rating on Delhivery and lowers the target price to Rs 370 from Rs 400 per share
- HSBC highlighted five of its equity analysts' best ideas, focusing on companies that are well-positioned to perform despite the broader slowdown in growth.

An existential risk: can BP avoid becoming a prime takeover target?
- BP's falling value could make it an existential risk for the company, as it is now priced less than the sum of its parts, making it a prime takeover target for a company with deep pockets. The oil major has lost almost a quarter of its value in the past two years, despite rivals in Europe and the US growing in size and, in some cases, reporting record profits.
- The company has cut thousands of jobs from its global workforce to save billions in costs to appease investors after losing favour due to its plan to slash its oil and gas production in favour of green energy projects.
- BP's new strategy to tackle the company’s falling value, hefty debts and the market's scepticism of its green energy aspirations is expected to be presented by Murray Auchincloss at the company's capital markets day in London.
- While equity analysts believe that BP will confirm plans to discard an aim to reduce oil and gas production by the end of the decade, the company is also expected to scale back on spending on renewable energy.
- Giacomo Romeo says the company would need to divest some assets, including US onshore windfarms, retail fuel stations in the Netherlands, or its minority stake in the UK solar company Lightsource BP.
- Any plans to relaunch the company’s oil and gas production could be too little, too late if its new fossil fuel volumes come onstream only in the 2030s, when many expect oil consumption to have peaked.
- HSBC's head of European oil and gas research, Kim Fustier believes that a “holistic shift” in strategy is required by BP as it has a 'narrow window' to come up with a positive narrative and gain investor confidence for the company.

HSBC considering boosting new CEO’s pay package to £15m
- The new chief executive of HSBC, Georges Elhedery, could potentially receive a pay package of over £15m, as the bank's remuneration committee tests investor reaction to an overhaul.
- The deal is being considered due to the UK's decision to remove the EU bonus cap, which limited payouts to two times the salary.
- If approved, the proposals would increase Elhedery's maximum pay package by nearly 43%, from around £10.5m to over £15m.
- HSBC follows a similar trend set by Barclays in offering a lower salary and larger bonus package for its chief executive in response to the bonus cap removal.
