Nifty Outlook
Markets traded lackluster and ended marginally lower amid mixed cues. After the flat start, the benchmark inched gradually higher in the first half, thanks to the rebound in select heavyweights. However, it couldn’t sustain at higher levels for long and surrendered all the gains by the end. Consequently, the Nifty settled at 17,276; down by 0.2%. The broader indices continued their underperformance and ended lower in the range of 0.8-0.9%. On the sector front, all indices, barring financials, ended lower.
The last three days of the movement in the index indicate caution among the participants due to uncertainty around the Russia-Ukraine tension. We feel it will end soon and any favourable development over the weekend may result in a strong start next week. However, on the flip side, in case of a negative surprise, the reaction could be equally severe. Meanwhile, we recommend sticking to hedged positions and suggest preferring index majors over others. On the index front, Nifty needs a decisive close above 17,500 to regain strength while the 16,800-17,000 zone would remain the key support.

Religare New Year Pick - INOX Leisure Ltd.
Incorporated in 1999 and part of the INOX Group, INOX Leisure Ltd. (INOX) is the second-largest multiplex chain operator in India. The company’s screen additions have grown multi-fold over the past 10 years, from 91 screens in FY09 to 667 screens currently (Q3FY22 end) having a wide presence in ~70 cities with a seating capacity of 1,50,000+.
We like INOX in this space given its focus on enhancing the consumer experience, continued emphasis on expansion, effort on increasing spending per head, and increasing footfalls. We recommend a Buy on the stock and arrive at a target price of Rs. 495 (target EV/EBITDA multiple of 13x). Some of the key risks to our estimates include a) resurgence in COVID cases and b) slower than expected revival in footfalls.
