Jeffries sees 25% upside potential in Axis Bank stocks and has recommended a ‘Buy’ with a target price of Rs 1,250. “We see 16% CAGR in profits (normalised) over FY23-26 and ROE around +18%.

Lok Sabha Election Results 2024: The counting has begun for the Lok Sabha election results 2024 and all eyes are on the stock market how it reacts to two possible scenarios – BJP-led NDA winning comfortably as exit polls predicted or the INDIA bloc staging an upset like UPA did in 2004.
In the previous session, all frontline-indices, including Sensex and Nifty, zoomed to fresh peaks and registered their best intraday gains in the post pandemic years. On Monday, the market participants were buoyed by most exit polls showing Narendra Modi’s BJP winning over 350 seats and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) managing to grab between 360 and 400 odd seats.
But what if the exit polls prediction goes wrong and INDIA bloc allies manage to get majority or 295 seats as they are claiming. In this case, the stock market, which has already factored in BJP’s massive win, may tumble like nine pins.

In order to streamline business operations for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Friday gave its approval to a series of proposals to ease regulatory requirements. These measures, designed to enhance efficiency and flexibility for FPIs, encompass exemptions in disclosure requirements, relaxed timelines for documentation, and provisions for dealing with securities post-expiry of registration.
Additional Disclosure Requirements Exempted for Certain FPIs
One significant decision by the SEBI Board involves exempting additional disclosure requirements for FPIs holding more than 50% of their India equity Assets Under Management (AUM) in a single corporate group. This exemption applies specifically if the concentrated holdings of these FPIs are in a listed company with no identified promoter, provided certain conditions are met.

How to fish

Once the bobber is in the water, you need to hit the action button again when an exclamation point appears, which will hook your catch.
