Vishal Mega Mart (VMM IN): Increased Float & Global Index Inclusion

By Brian Freitas

  • An increase in the stock price and free float should result in Vishal Mega Mart (VMM IN)‘s inclusion in a global index in August.
  • Estimated passive buying is 191m shares (US$312m; 5.8x ADV; 15.4x delivery volume) at the close of trading on 26 August.
  • The index inclusion could take the stock higher in the short-term but buyers in the June placement could be looking for an exit.

  • Company launched a Mumbai luxury project targeting INR 2,000-2,300 crore revenue from phase one, with broader market expansion and new launch plans

India Real Estate: Domestic Demand & Infrastructure Boom – LONG DLF

By Jacob Cheng

  • As the second largest population in the world, India real estate is on a transformational path,  driven by economic growth and domestic demand
  • In particular, we think the rapid urbanization, rising disposable income, infrastructure demand as well as capital inflow from NRI provided further boost to the sector
  • We like DLF, which is one of the largest real estate developers in the country, on the back of its product positioning and strong fundamentals
