In news from the oil & gas sector...
India's fuel consumption in January registered its first month-on-month decline in five months, as an uptick in global oil prices posed a roadblock to a gradual recovery in demand from the world's third-largest oil consumer.
Consumption of fuel, a proxy for oil demand, fell to 18.01 million tonnes in January, which was 3.2% below last month, and 3.9% lower than a year earlier.
Diesel consumption, a key parameter linked to economic growth and which accounts for about 40% of overall refined fuel sales in Asia's third largest economy, declined 2.3% YoY to 6.80 million tonnes.
Sales of gasoline, or petrol, rose by about 6.1% from a year earlier to 2.61 million tonnes.
Sales of cooking gas, or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), increased by about 2% to 2.49 million tonnes, while naphtha sales fell by 10.6% to 1.27 million tonnes.
Sales of bitumen, used for making roads, were 2.9% lower than a year ago, while fuel oil dropped by about 10% last month.
How this trend pans out in the coming months remains to be seen. Meanwhile, we will keep you updated on all the developments from this space.
Moving on to stock specific news...
Page Industries was among the top buzzing stocks today.
Page Industries share price jumped to the highest in more than two years after the maker of Jockey underwear and Speedo swimwear reported record profit in the third quarter.
The company's net profit rose 77% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 1.5 billion in the October-December period (Q3FY21).
Its revenue increased 17% YoY to Rs 9.2 billion, while the operating profit jumped 63% YoY to Rs 2.6 billion.
The company, according to the filing, has repaid all outstanding debt during the quarter and is now debt-free.
Liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents rose to Rs 4.9 billion, a growth of 23% sequentially and 275% YoY.
Gross margin for Q3FY21 stood at 40.7% compared with 38.2% a year ago.
Berger Paints share price was also in focus today.
The paint maker reported a 51.2% jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 2.7 billion for the quarter ended December 2020. It had posted a net profit of Rs 1.8 billion in the October-December quarter a year ago.
Revenue from operations of the company stood at Rs 21.1 billion, up 25%, during the quarter under review as against Rs 16.9 billion in the corresponding period of the last fiscal.
Market participants were also tracking Titan share price today as the company has expanded its portfolio within the wearable category by launching its new smart fitness gear brand TraQ.
TRAQ is the first-ever smart gear developed entirely by Titan and conceptualised in-house at the design studio in Bengaluru, the company said in a statement.
Titan is eyeing the growing market in the fitness gear segment as the number of people taking up sports like running, cycling, swimming and aiming for a healthy and active lifestyle is on rise.
Speaking of the country's largest watchmaker, here's an interesting data on Titan...
Even a tiny investment of Rs 1,000 per month in the stock of Titan, since 2002, would have led to mouthwatering returns.
Take a look at how the power of compounding has gone wild here...
Here's what Co-head of Research at Equitymaster, Tanushree Banerjee wrote about it in one of the editions of Profit Hunter:
- It's possible to accumulate a few crores by investing small amounts in good businesses. Especially when the business is in distress and comes with margin of safety in valuations.
Like the stock in my latest special report - First Stock to Potentially Rs 7 Crore Long-term Wealth.
Business headwinds and macro and regulatory issues have kept the stock out of favour in most of 2020.
Given its pedigree, balance sheet strength and cash flows, the stock has a very high chance of rerating once the temporary clouds of uncertainty disperse.
In fact, I believe that 2021 could be for this stock what 2004 was for Titan.
In an upcoming special online event - The Great Indian Wealth Project - Tanushree will show you how to potentially accumulate Rs 7 crore in wealth, over the long-term.
