SBI Card Q1 Results: Profit drops 5% YoY to Rs 593 crore
The better-than-expected US Q2 GDP data, though positive, hindered the mood of the domestic market as it signalled the chances of another rate hike. The Fed chief’s comments about a data-centric approach without ruling out rate hikes added to the uncertainty. Furthermore, the reversal of the buying trend by FII and the rise in US bond yields contributed to market volatility. However, Asian markets remained largely positive due to the BOJ’s decision to retain the policy rate, contrary to speculation about the removal of stimulus measures.

ITC clarifies it won’t buy stake in hotels if BAT wants an exit after demerger
The restructuring exercise has met a long-pending demand of investors to unlock value in matured businesses but the decision to keep 40% stake with the parent entity had raised eyebrows.
If an investor owns a 10% stake in ITC, post-demerger, they shall hold a 6% stake in ITC Hotels and a 4% stake in ITC Hotels indirectly via ITC Ltd.
The world’s largest tobacco company, British American Tobacco (BAT) which owns 29% stake in ITC, would end up owning about 17.4% stake in ITC Hotels after the demerger. It is being speculated that BAT may have little interest in owning a hospitality stock in its portfolio.

Market View | Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services
Investors have to be careful chasing small-caps which are in overvalued territory. Large-caps, even when richly valued, are safe unlike risky small-caps.
Pharma is staging a comeback and there is value-buying happening in beaten down metal stocks.
Despite a positive opening, inability to convincingly breach the upper boundary of the 19770-840 band, which we had marked down as pivotal region, led to a liquidation spree that stretched through the day, until 19620 stepped in to arrest further free fall. The swing thereof and a close near 19700 encourages us to go in today expecting positivity and get back to the 20160 trajectory. However, expect bears to dominate if unable to clear 19770 or float above 19670, but a free fall is less expected.
