4QFY17 Earnings Review: Aggregate performance masks underlying weak operating dynamics
Earnings season concluded with aggregate MOSL Universe headline numbers meeting our expectations and Nifty earnings beating expectations by 6%.
Nifty has rounded off FY17 with 8% earnings growth, while the broader MOSL Universe posted 15% earnings growth.
However, looking beyond the numbers, the underlying operating performance still doesn't exhibit broad-based strength. 42% of our Universe reported profit decline v/s 34% in 3QFY17.
The 4QFY17 beat at Nifty PAT level is accounted for by just four companies - Tata Motors, Tata Steel, L&T and Reliance.
Cyclicals drove the quarterly performance, aided by low base. Defensives posted another quarter of earnings decline, dragged by Technology and Healthcare. Contribution of Defensives to our Universe PAT shrank further.
In our Universe, we downgraded ratings for 17 stocks and upgraded ratings for five stocks in 4QFY17. We have marginally revised our Sensex EPS estimates upwards for FY18/19 by 0.6%/0.9% to INR1,581/1,922.
