In a first, JSW Infrastructure Limited (JSWIL), listed their 7 year USD 400 million foreign currency sustainability linked bonds exclusively on Global Securities Market (GSM) of India International Exchange at GIFT IFSC today. JSW Infrastructure’s 7 year maturity bonds have been assigned Ba2 rating by Moody’s investor services and BB+ by Fitch and are priced competitively at 4.95 per cent.

The Indian markets extended their nosedive further on Friday amid weak global cues and broad-based selloff across sectoral indices. Banking and Consumer Durables stocks weighed the most on pushing benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 off the cliff, while Pharma and IT stocks also contributed to the downside substantially. Today the FII net selloff was recorded at Rs -4,679.84 crore and DII Inflow Rs 769.26 crore was recorded.  

On Wednesday, the benchmark indices continued the selling on the second consecutive day with Nifty below 18,000. At close, the Sensex was down 656.04 points or 1.08 per cent at 60,098.82 level, and the Nifty was down 174.60 points or 0.96 per cent at 17,938.40 level.

BSE Small-cap index held its ground and outperformed broader markets by closing at 30,551.15, marginally up by 0.03 per cent. 

Interestingly, Nifty oscillated in the range of just 92 points, which is the lowest daily range in the last seven trading sessions. As a result, it has led to the formation of the NR7 bar.

Structurally, the stock has been making a higher high and higher low on the weekly chart, indicating a positive price structure. As the stock is trading at a 31-week high, all the short and long-term moving averages are trending upside. The 20, 50 & 200-DMA are clearly trending up and moreover, they are in the desired sequence.   

Interestingly, it was the IT sector again that provided the much-needed support to the index and this was quite evident from the fact that among the top three contributors, two were from the IT sector namely, Infosys & TCS.   

The stock is down by about 25 per cent from its high of Rs 690, which was registered in July 2021 and has been one of the underperformers over the last one year. Can this news trigger a change in the course of the trend of the stock? Only time would tell as the market participants would like to track the financial performance of the stock.

Contribution from value-added segments, viz – precision tubes, forging, and engineering structures increased from 49 per cent in Q3FY21 to 53 per cent in Q3FY22.  

The stock registered an all-time high of Rs 1,525.95 as of September 15, 2021, and thereafter, it corrected 20 per cent from the all-time high level to the lows of December 17, 2021. The stock ended Monday’s session in the green as it gained over a per cent thereby, outperforming the benchmark and broader market indices by a wide margin.
