The Indian mutual fund industry has assets of almost INR 7.93 trillion (US$106.3bn) across Multi cap, Large Cap, Large and Mid Cap, Mid Cap, Small Cap and Flexi Cap equity schemes. Equity schemes classified as large cap need to have at least 80% of their assets invested in large cap stocks, large and mid cap schemes need to have at least 35% of their assets in large cap stocks and at least 35% in mid cap stocks, mid cap funds need to hold at least 65% of their assets in mid cap stocks, and small cap funds need to hold at least 65% of their assets in small cap stocks.

Using data to the close on 4 October, at the next recategorization in January 2022, we see 10 stocks moving from the mid cap segment to the large cap segment, 11 stocks moving from the large cap segment to the mid cap segment , 11 stocks are expected to move from the small cap segment to the mid cap segment, with16 stocks moving from the mid cap to the small cap segment. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/zomato-media-pvt" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28820:1" rel="noopener">Zomato (ZOMATO IN)</a> will be a part of the large cap universe, while 4 other newly listed stocks will be a part of the mid cap universe.Historically, stocks moving to a higher market cap category have outperformed stocks that migrate to a lower market cap category over the back half of the review period. In some cases, the outperformance continues past the announcement of the changes as well. This can be attributed to fund managers realigning their portfolios to meet the new categorization. This provides opportunities to pre-position for the move and unwind post the announcement of the reclassification.

We recently attended the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/4353" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4353:1">Zydus Wellness (ZYWL IN)</a>. The primary agenda for the EGM was to approve the issue of fresh equity and raise debt to finance the acquisition of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/2253" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:2253:1">Kraft Heinz Co (KHC US)</a> 's Indian subsidiary Heinz India Private Limited jointly with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/12914" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12914:1">Cadila Healthcare (CDH IN)</a>. This will include the brands Complan (Health Food Drink), Glucon D (Glucose Powder), Nycil (Talcum Power) and Sampriti Ghee. We believe the deal is in sync with management's vision of developing Pharma oriented consumer brands. However with recent acquisition of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/18984" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:18984:1">Glaxosmithkline Consumer Healthcare (SKB IN)</a> by  <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/13828" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13828:1">Hindustan Unilever (HUVR IN)</a> the competition in the health food drink market may get intense. Having said that, the largest brand Glucon D will likely continue market leadership along with Everyuth and Nycil which will be a good addition to the Zydus Portfolio. Any attempt for market share gains with Complan and Sampriti ghee will be futile and may come at a cost of margins. Based on preliminary, we expect full effect of the deal to appear on FY 2020 financials. Our preliminary estimates indicate a FY 2021 EPS of 51.68, which with a average PE multiple of 34.56 leads to a price target of INR 1809 per share implying an upside of 35% from latest close price of INR 1342. We will revisit our estimates post Q4 FY19 numbers when a much clearer picture is likely to emerge.
