MARKET P REVIEW
For the week commencing January 20, 2014
Whilst the current market mood can best be described as
calm given the magnitude of gains and losses recorded since
the beginning of the year, the imminent market catalyst will
be expected 2013FY corporate actions.
In our view, market sentiments will move largely in favour of
stocks with expected attractive dividend yields. Also,
investors demand will likely tilt in favour of stocks with
attractive fundamentals.
Given our considerations above, we expect the market to
close the week on a positive note albeit marginal.
0.27

and relative valuation methodologies. The choice of relative valuation methodology (ies) usually depends on the firms
peculiar business model and what in the opinion of our analyst is considered as a key driver of the stocks value from a
firm specific as well as an industry perspective. However, we attach the most weight to discounted cash flow valuation
methodology.

Ratings Specification

BUY: Fair value of the stock is above the current market price by at least 20 percent

HOLD: Fair value of the stock ranges between -10 percent and 20percent from the current market price.

SELL: Fair value of the stock is more than 10 percent below the current market price.
