Balkrishna Industries at 15-month low on poor guidance by client##Balkrishna Industries at 15-month low on poor guidance by client

Shares of Balkrishna Industries hit a 15-month low of Rs 798.05 after US-based industrial bellwether Caterpillar Inc gave guidance below analysts' estimates following weak quarterly results. On Monday, Caterpillar reported adjusted earnings of $2.55 a share, below analysts' expectations of $2.99, and said it expects a modest increase in revenue ahead. It set its 2019 outlook for adjusted profit at $11.75 to $12.75 a share, below what analysts were expecting. Balkrishna Industries is a key supplier to Caterpillar. US market contributes 18 percent of Balkrishna's revenues, while Europe contributes upto 52 percent, as per the company's investor presentation. Balkrishna Industries produced 109,093 tonne by the first half on 2018-19 (April-March), nearly half of its set volume guidance of 210,000 tonne to 220,000 tn. However, abating demand from key clients like Caterpillar will pose a hurdle for the company to meet its set target. The stock fell for the fourth-straight session and lost 7.2 percent so far from Thursday. (Cogencis)

HEG hits 13-month low; circuit limit cut to 10% from 20%##HEG hits 13-month low; circuit limit cut to 10% from 20%

Shares of HEG Ltd extended their losses for the fourth trading day and hit a 13-month low of Rs 1,992 as investors fret over the possibility of earnings of Indian electrode makers taking a hit. With effect from today, the stock's circuit limit was revised to 10 percent from 20 percent, according to the BSE website. HEG has seen selling this month because of concerns that the decline in prices of products such as ultra-high power electrodes and a likely rise in operating costs would eat into profits over the coming quarters. Prices of needle coke, the raw material for graphite, have spiked nearly 30%, and therefore, the profit margins are seen shrinking, reports said last week. At 10.39 am, shares of HEG were trading 5.9 percent down at Rs 2,070.9. Shares have fallen nearly 34 percent in the last four sessions. (Cogencis)
