The research firm ICICI Securities believes earnings of apparel brands and retail companies under their coverage may surprise positively from Q3FY22E as the likely demand recovery may result in better than expected margin performance. Some of the costs savings achieved during pandemic may sustain and coupled with high operating leverage may lead to higher than pre-covid margins from Q3FY22E.  Stocks like Trent, V-Mart and Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail are the preferred picks backed by their strong and consistent track record of execution.

Anand Rathi's research report on IndusInd Bank

Immediately after the first Covid wave, Indusind Bank was severely hit on both asset and liability sides. Its turnaround in the last few quarters has been stellar given that one-third of its assets (VF+MFI books) were impacted and the strong run on deposits on its liability side. Stress on its VF & MFI books was much lower than the industry and strong traction was seen in deposits. We expect credit growth and profitability to be strong on account revived demand in MFI and vehicle finance; bright corporate outlook in on the government’s infra push; sturdy balance sheet (72% coverage, Rs30bn provision buffer, 1.2% of loans) and strong liquidity and capitalisation.
