Bharat Bandh Today: When, where, why, who’s supporting it and who's not – Key points to know

$

0
The Congress has called a nationwide ‘Bharat Bandh’ today in protest of continuous rise of fuel prices in the country. Ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, just a day after the key BJP meet, the Bharat Bandh is a chance for the Opposition to showcase its unity against the Narendra Modi government as well as set tone for the anti-BJP agenda.

As the officials in various states brace for possible law and order situation, here’s the lowdown on what exactly is going on for the September 10 protest:

 

*What is Bharat Bandh?*

Bharat Bandh is pan-India stir called by the main Opposition party Congress against the steep hike in the fuel prices. 

 

*When is Bharat Bandh?*

 

Today, September 10, has been decided as the date for Bharat Bandh. According to the Congress, the protests will be held in various parts across India between 9 am to 3 pm. The Congress spokesperson says that the schedule has been decided to minimize inconvenience to the common man. 

 

*Who all are supporting/ participating in the Bharat Bandh? *

 

While the Congress is leading the Bharat Bandh, here are other Opposition parties, who have decided to join the anti-Modi government protest. These parties are

 

1. Samajwadi Party 
2. Bahujan Samaj Party
3. Nationalist Congress Party
4. All India Trinamool Congress
5. Rashtriya Lok Dal
6. Rashtriya Janata Dal
7. Communist Party of India
8. Communist Party of India (Marxist)
9. All India United Democratic Front
10. Jammu & Kashmir National Conference
11. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha
12. Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik)
13. Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam
14. Aam Aadmi Party
15. Telugu Desam Party
16. Kerala Congress (M)
17. Revolutionary Socialist Party
18. Indian Union Muslim League
19. Loktantrik Janata Dal (Sharad Yadav)
20. Swabhimani Paksha (Raju Shetti)
21. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena

 

*Who all are opposing the Bharat Bandh? *

The ruling BJP and its allies in the National Democratic Alliance are obviously against the Bharat Bandh. Even BJP's most sulking ally Shiv Sena has also steered clear of the Bharat Bandh.

 

*Where will be the maximum impact of the Bharat Bandh?*

 

From initial reports, it looks like Karnataka’s capital Bengaluru will be completely shut down as the state government announced a public holiday on Monday. All government offices and schools in the capital city will remain closed today. With both NCP and MNS extending their support for the Bharat Badnh, there might be some impact in and around Mumbai. West Bengal, Punjab and Jharkhand are also likely to see impact of the Bharat Bandh. 

 

*Why the Opposition has called out for the Bharat Bandh?  *
 

The main reason for the Bharat Bandh is the continuous steep hike in the petrol and diesel prices across the country. On Sunday, the increase pushed the petrol price in Delhi to Rs 80.50 per litre. Diesel rate touched its highest level of Rs 72.61 a litre. 

 

While the oil companies say that the petrol at refinery gate costs around Rs 40.50 a litre and diesel Rs 43, the Centre levies a total excise duty of Rs 19.48 per litre of petrol and Rs 15.33 per litre on diesel. On top of this, states levy Value Added Tax (VAT) -- the lowest being in Andaman and Nicobar Islands where 6 per cent sales tax is charged on both the fuels.
Mumbai has the highest VAT of 39.12 per cent on petrol, while Telangana levies the highest VAT of 26 per cent on diesel. Delhi charges a VAT of 27 per cent on petrol and 17.24 per cent on diesel.

 

The Central government had raised excise duty on petrol by Rs 11.77 a litre and that on diesel by 13.47 a litre in nine installments between November 2014 and January 2016 to shore up finances as global oil prices fell, but then cut the tax just once in October last year by Rs 2 a litre.

 

This led to its excise collections from petro goods more than doubling in the last four years -- from Rs 99,184 crore in 2014-15 to Rs 2,29,019 crore in 2017-18. States saw their VAT revenue from petro goods rise from Rs 1,37,157 crore in 2014-15 to Rs 1,84,091 crore in 2017-18.

(TSXV: PEEK; OTCQB: PKSLF) (“*Peeks Social*” or the “*Company*”) is pleased to announce that the Peeks Social platform’s Monthly Active Users (“*MAUs*”) has increased by 114% since the launch of the web platform (www.peeks.social) on July 9, 2018.

The growth in MAUs was substantially all sourced from the web platform.“The launch of our upgraded web portal has led to robust and significant growth in new users coming the Peeks Social platform.  Although we have witnessed a slight cannibalization of users transitioning from the app to the website, the offsetting growth in users and higher conversion rates from our web marketing efforts have exceeded our initial expectations,” states Mark Itwaru, CEO of the Company. “I would like to congratulate our technical team on the achievement of a successful product launch.”

The Company also announces that user deposits and user sessions for the second quarter (three months ended August 31, 2018) were $1.4 million and 6.5 million, respectively, as compared to $1.4 million and 6.2 million, respectively, for the first quarter (three months ending May 31, 2018). The website of the Peeks Social platform does not yet contain the full purchase functionality of the app platforms, and as such the increase in MAUs has not yet had a direct impact on user deposits. Full purchase functionality will be available on the web platform imminently.

The Company also announces that it has closed a non-brokered private placement. The Company issued an aggregate of 2,250,000 units at a price of $0.12 per unit, for total gross consideration from this private placement of $270,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant of the Company. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The common shares and warrants are subject to a four month hold period. The private placement is subject to the Company obtaining final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange upon the filing of required materials in due course. The Company paid aggregate finder's fees of $21,600 to eligible arm's length parties in connection with this private placement. Proceeds raised through the private placement will be used for the marketing and advancement of the “Peeks Social” platform, as well as for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Data for MAUs and user sessions was provided through Google Analytics. For additional information on Google Analytics’ definitions of these terms and the methods of calculating these metrics, please refer to https://support.google.com/analytics .

Will Acquire ATRM Holdings as an Initial “Kick-off” Transaction
Immediately Hires David Noble as COO

SUWANEE, Ga., Sept. 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digirad Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAD) (“Digirad” or “DRAD”) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the conversion of Digirad into a diversified holding company (“HoldCo”), and the acquisition of ATRM Holdings, Inc. (OTC: ATRM) (“ATRM”) as an initial “kick-off” transaction.  In the transaction, ATRM stockholders will receive consideration consisting of 0.4 shares of Digirad common stock for each share of ATRM common stock, which is the approximate price ratio between the two stocks over the past year.  This transaction represents an increase in DRAD’s share count of less than 5%.  The transaction is expected to close in Q1 of 2019.  Digirad will issue today a presentation describing the anticipated benefits of the diversified holding company structure, and the acquisition of ATRM, which will be posted under the “Investors” tab of the Digirad website and filed as an exhibit on Form 8-K with the SEC.

HoldCo’s team (after the ATRM acquisition) will include Jeff Eberwein (Chairman), Matt Molchan (CEO of Healthcare Imaging Division), Dan Koch (CEO of Modular Building Division), David Noble (Chief Operating Officer), Steve Clark (Chief Financial Officer), and Hannah Bible (General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer).  Mr. Noble, who was appointed to the position of Chief Operating Officer of Digirad on September 1, 2018, will report directly to the Board of Directors of Digirad.  A more detailed description of Mr. Noble’s background is provided below.

Digirad and ATRM have entered into a non-binding letter of intent relating to Digirad’s acquisition of ATRM.  The transaction will be subject to, among other things, ATRM becoming current with its SEC filings and the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation.  The transaction was approved by Digirad and ATRM, respectively, by a special committee of independent directors of each company.  The Digirad Special Committee was advised by Oberon Securities, LLC.

Digirad believes that converting into a diversified holding company with a shared services center will create tremendous value for Digirad stockholders, both immediately and over the long-term, because the conversion is projected to: 1) be immediately accretive, 2) improve future revenue, cash flow, and earnings growth, and 3) create a platform for bolt-on acquisitions and other growth opportunities.

*Transaction Highlights**:**

· Growth and acquisition opportunities: HoldCo structure creates a platform for future bolt-on acquisitions and additional growth opportunities
· Management and operations: Improved operating and financial performance due to operating CEOs focusing on the operating businesses and growth opportunities
· Anticipated cost savings of $3 to $5 million or more from the formation of HoldCo and the shared services center
· Anticipate up to 100% increase in Adjusted EBITDA and up to 142% increase in Free Cash Flow with less than a 5% increase in DRAD’s share count
· Adjusted EBITDA to Net Debt ratio projected to stay constant at 1.1 – 1.3x
· Free Cash Flow per share of $0.20 to $0.25 projected to increase to $0.43 to $0.66, representing a 115% to 164% increase
· Dividend coverage ratio (defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Dividend) of 91% to 114% projected to increase to 195% to 300%
· 2019 annualized year-end runrate: Revenue projected to be between $145 and $155 million and Adjusted EBITDA projected to be between $16 and $20 million versus $8.5 and $9.5 million in 2018 for Digirad stand-alone

GBP/USD seen within a broad range so far – UOB

Cable is expected to prolong the broader sidelined theme for the next weeks, according to FX Strategists at UOB Group.

*Key Quotes*

24-hour view: “*GBP* traded at a higher and wider range of 1.2910/1.3029 last Friday (our expected consolidation range was 1.2870/1.2950). The daily closing in NY is on the weak side (close of 1.2915) which suggests increasing downward pressure. From here, there is scope for GBP to test the 1.2880 support but the next support at 1.2850 is likely out of reach. On the upside, only a break of 1.2970 would indicate that the current downward pressure has eased. The 1.3029 high is not expected to come into the picture any time soon”.

Next 1-3 weeks: “GBP rose to a high of 1.3029 last Friday, relatively close to the top our expected 1.2800/1.3050 consolidation range before falling sharply back to a low of 1.2910. As highlighted in recent updates, the immediate outlook for GBP is unclear after the recent volatile price actions and we continue to hold a neutral stance and expect GBP to trade sideways, likely within a broad 1.2800/1.3050 range”.

Investors betting against JD.com made $153 million after the company's CEO was accused of sexual misconduct (JD)· *JD.com plunged after its CEO was detained in the US over a sexual-misconduct allegation.*
· *Short sellers made $153 million in profits from the stock decline, which saw shares fall 14% last week.*
· *Watch JD.com trade in real-time here.*

JD.com short sellers — or investors betting on the company's stock to fall — made millions last week after CEO Liu Qiangdong was detained in the US over a sexual-misconduct allegation.

Following the news that Liu was arrested over a rape allegation in Minneapolis over Labor Day weekend, JD.com's stock dropped 14% last week. That generated mark-to-market profits of $153 million for short sellers, according to data from financial analytics firm S3 Partners.

"Short sellers have been selling into JD.com’s price weakness since mid-July with 7 million new shares shorted since July 15, up 23%," Ihor Dusaniwsky, managing director of predictive analytics at S3, said in an email.

Overall, short sellers have made $392 million in mark-to-market profits since January, most of which occurred during the second half of the year, Dusaniwsky added. S3 data shows JD.com is now the seventh-largest short in the Hong Kong/China region, with $1.03 billion of short interest.

Last month, JD.com, the second-largest Chinese e-commerce company after Alibaba, posted a loss of $0.23 per share on revenue of $18.5 billion. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg were expecting a $0.12 per share gain on revenue of $19.31 billion.

Shares of JD.com are down 38% this year.

London, UK, 10 September 2018

*Edison issues outlook on John Laing Group (JLG)*

Continuity of strategy and personnel has enabled John Laing Group (JLG) to capitalise on the opportunities in the international market for infrastructure investment and establish an impressive track record of growth. With the demand for infrastructure projects remaining strong, we believe JLG is well placed financially, operationally and competitively to deliver attractive returns to shareholders.

After the recent strong performance, JLG's shares trade at a small premium (c 2%) to the H118 NAV per share of 307p. The share price is now broadly in line with our revised FY18 forecast NAV per share of 318p. However, despite its recent strong run, JLG stands at a discount to peer group averages (c 8% premium). At a 8% premium to H118 NAV per share of 307p, JLG would be worth c 332p/share. Given the undemanding relative rating, proven track record of growth and the prospect of continuing increases in the NAV per share and DPS, we believe JLG offers the potential for attractive returns for investors.

USD/CHF climbs further beyond 0.9700 handle, three-day tops

$

0
*   •  The post-NFP up-move continues for the second straight session on Monday.
   •  Bullish traders seemed largely unaffected by a modest USD retracement.
   •  Slight improvement in risk sentiment weighs on CHF and provides a minor boost.*

The USD/CHF pair continued gaining positive traction for the second consecutive session on Monday and was seen building on the post-NFP recovery move from over 4-1/2 month lows.

Friday's upbeat US monthly jobs report, especially strong wage growth data, cemented September Fed rate hike expectations and provided a strong lift to the US Dollar and helped the pair to recover around 60-pips from an intraday low level of 0.9642, the lowest since April 17. 

The pair continued with its recovery move at the start of a new trading week and gained further beyond the 0.9700 handle. The up-move seemed largely unaffected by a modest USD retracement, albeit a positive tone around the US Treasury bond yields remained supportive.

Meanwhile, a slight improvement in risk sentiment, as depicted by stability across European equity markets, weighed on the Swiss Franc's safe-haven appeal and was seen as one of the key factors behind the pair's up-move to three-day highs, around the 0.9730-35 region.

There isn't any major market-moving economic data due for release from the US and hence, the broader market risk sentiment/USD price dynamics might continue to act as key determinants of the pair's momentum on Monday.

*Technical levels to watch*

Any subsequent up-move is likely to confront immediate resistance near the 0.9755-60 region, above which the pair seems more likely to extend the recovery move towards reclaiming the 0.9800 handle. On the flip side, the 0.9700 handle now seems to protect the immediate downside, which if broken might turn the pair vulnerable to head back towards challenging multi-month lows, around the 0.9640 area.

Jeep Cherokee Limited 2018 review

$
0
0
Jeep Cherokee gets a new face and updated safety tech for 2019, but it's hamstrung by an unsettled ride, a coarse engine and a high price The Jeep Cherokee has come a long way since the first-generation SJ model was launched way back in 1974. The fifth-generation version we have here has lost the boxy, all-American image of that original, instead morphing into an SUV that carries very few features indeed to help distinguish it from its competitors in what is now one of the most crowded segments there is - seven-bar grille aside.For 2018, Jeep has treated the Cherokee to a facelift. Gone is the squinty-eyed front end of the 2014 model; it has been replaced by a far more classically handsome (if a little forgettable) nose. At the same time, a range of new active safety systems and updated infotainment software have been introduced.For the UK, the sole engine available is likely to be the same 2.2-litre four-cylinder Multijet II diesel from before, offered in a single 192bhp state of tune. This is paired with a nine-speed automatic gearbox that, in our pre-production test car, sent its power to the front wheels. That said, a four-wheel-drive model will also be made available.As before, the Cherokee’s suspension architecture consists of MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link arrangement at the rear.

Rishabh Digha and Allied Products Ltd. on a High, Announces 20% Dividend

$
0
0
Despite recessionary trends and weak steel demand, *Rishabh Digha Steel and Allied Products* (BSE:531539) maintains a 15 year track record of regular dividend to its shareholders since 2004. It has declared 20 per cent dividend for FY18 and it has announced a book closure for dividend from September 14, 2018. Stock is available cum dividend till 14th September 2018. Incorporated in 1991, the company under the leadership of Mr. Ashok Mehta, Managing Director, is mainly engaged in the job-work of de-coiling, straightening, cutting, shearing of hot rolled, cold rolled and mild steel coils/sheets. Rishabh Digha’s production facility is located at Taloja District, Raigad, Maharashtra.

 

Spread across 5,430 square metre (approx. 60,000 sq. feet) of industrial shed, it has an equal amount of built plant capacity of processing and storage capability of 20,000 metric tonnes per month. Being strategically located at Taloja MIDC ensures easy transport of raw material and delivery of finished goods to all over the country. Further, the proximity to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust is an added advantage for its operation.

 

The company's client includes dealers of TATA Steels, SAIL, Ispat Steel, AbhayIspat (India), ARK Industries Ltd (Mumbai), Arya Ship Breaking Company, Delta Iron & Steel Co, Jay Ambey Steel Traders, Khanna Delta Steel Private Limited, Kothari Steel Syndicate, Krishna Sheet Processors, Jay Ambey Steel, Ridhi Sidhi Iron & Steel, Rohit & Company, Siddhi Enterprises and so on.

 

Being niche and efficient in its operation, Rishabh Digha valuations look compelling especially from a fixed assets as well as current assets perspective. The investment in this company is more of a play on management execution and improved profitability. Its ability to improve its scale of operations and efficiently manage it working capital requirements amidst a highly competitive and challenging scenario for the steel processing industry is the key sensitivities.

 

*Maintaining Health Growth*

Despite recessionary trends, across commodity and currency markets over these years, Rishabh Digha Steel had managed to grow at CAGR of 29 per cent in last 5 years. Not only that, Rishabh Digha Steel is a Zero Debt company and works with negligible working capital. While one would hardly think of a stock with such a negligible working capital, but it is hidden gem for a small cap stock, currently trading at Rs. 110.

 

Recently, Smart Investor Magazine has suggested that investors should watch this small-cap stock with a stop loss of Rs. 90. On the upper side it may go up to Rs. 125 level in short term while Rs. 200 level in long term. AT CMP of Rs. 104.90, the stock is trading at PE of 37.97x on its EPS (TTM) of Rs. 2.63. The stock is available at a discount currently and would be seen at 250-300 in near future.

 

Reason for a company like Rishabh Digha to do well is the low risk in the industry. The major acquisition cost is spent for land, plant and machinery that will rather appreciate and are easily saleable. Originally, the land was purchased at Rs. 200/- per sq. meter. In the year 1996 and today it is easily saleable at the throw away price of Rs. 20,000/- per sq. meter.

 

For financial year ended March 31, 2018, the company reported a net profit of Rs. 1.44 crore against loss of Rs. 0.15 crore, reporting an EPS of Rs. 2.56. It has posted steady numbers in Q1FY19 also. Rishabh Digha has maintained a regular dividend and its dividend pay-out ratio is fantastic. It has paid between 10-25 per cent from FY17. It has declared 20 per cent dividend for FY18 and it has announced a book closure for dividend from September 14, 2018. Stock is available cum dividend till 14th September 2018.

 

*About Rishabh Digha Steel and Allied Products *(BSE:531539)

The grass root level operations commenced in 1989 from a single shed in Navi Mumbai. In mid-1990s with the growing infrastructure demands of the liberalized nation, the privately held company acquired the present 5,340 sq. meters location from MIDC in the industrial development belt at Taloja, which is just a couple of hours drive from the financial capital of India; Mumbai and strategically located near JNPT with adequate infrastructure for easy transportation of heavy goods.

 

The company expanded gradually with continued dedication and vision of the promoters, it progressed to a public listed company and listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The company has been paying healthy divided to its shareholders for the past few years.
