• LG Electronics India (123D IN) much awaited INR 116.1 bn IPO is set to open for subscription this week. It’s a complete OFS by the Korean Parent.
• While LG is the market leader, there are huge litigation liabilities ~74% of net-worth which could pose a serious threat to the financials, with particular attention to AMP spends proceedings.
• We also find it disturbing to note that the parent has taken out 175% of the free cash flows in FY23 and FY24 as interim dividends.

• Capgemini’s $76.50 all-cash acquisition of WNS has cleared all approvals; only court sanction remains.
• Scheme court hearing set for 9 October; settlement expected around 16 October 2025.
• With a 0.25% gross spread, this is now a low-risk, near-cash arbitrage position.

• Context:Tata Consultancy Services (TCS IN) will report Second Quarter FY 2026 Results on Thursday, 9 October 2025, after market close.
• Highlight: Typically a low-volatility stock, TCS has seen notable post-earnings swings in the past. Option markets now anticipate a move larger than its historic average.
• Why it matters: TCS is a top constituent of the Nifty 50 and Sensex. TCS’s commentary on the new H-1B visa fee could influence sentiment across India’s IT services sector.

• Post its recent IPO, Aegis Vopak has rapidly expanded its LPG capacity and is strategically de-leveraging to fund its massive, long-term ‘GATI’ (Gateway Access to India) expansion pipeline.
• As India’s largest third-party tank storage operator, the company is a critical, high-barrier-to-entry infrastructure play, directly capitalizing on the country’s surging energy, chemical, and industrial import dependence.
• The strategic joint venture and execution focus on high-margin, sticky, and growing segments like LPG and specialty chemicals position the company for sustainable, asset-backed growth.

• We highlight large and small cap companies that experienced significant insider buying during September 2025, as reported on the stock exchanges.
• We also present key sectors which saw insider buying during the month along with names which have moved significantly above the insider buying price.
• As September is a month just before the result season starts, some of these companies may highlight about improving prospects during coming quarters.

• Canara Robeco AMC (570515Z IN) is looking to raise US$150m in its upcoming India IPO.
• Canara Robeco has registered a CAGR of 34% and 33% in AUM and management fees, respectively, from FY22 to FY24. Profitability margins have also expanded steadily in the same period.

• Blue Star remains a resilient player, leveraging strong B2B momentum, international expansion, and product innovation to navigate challenges and capitalize on future growth opportunities.

• Strong recent credit off-take and a favorable interest rate environment for issuance are expected to drive a robust revenue quarter for CARE Ratings, building on its core debt rating services.
• CareEdge’s focus on expanding its non-rating services, especially in ESG and infrastructure ratings, offers significant growth potential. 
• The Indian credit rating sector remains a high-margin oligopoly; a Q2 beat could re-rate CARE if it signals improved pricing discipline and acceleration in its non-rating advisory vertical.

• In today’s Morning Views publication we comment on developments of the following high yield issuers: Adani Green Energy
• UST yields climbed yesterday, led by the long end. This was driven by a spike in long-end JGB yields, following pro-stimulus lawmaker Sanae Takaichi’s election to lead Japan’s ruling party, as well as a sell-off in French bonds after French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu unexpectedly resigned.
• The yield on the 2Y UST rose 1 bp to 3.59%, while that on the 10Y UST was up 3 bps at 4.15%. Equities rallied, driven by semiconductor stocks. This came after AMD signed a large chip supply agreement with OpenAI, in a deal that could see OpenAI taking a 10% stake in the chipmaker. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 6,740, while the Nasdaq climbed 0.7% to 22,942.
