CAPITAL GOODS STOCKS OUTLOOK FOR THE WEEK – 01 to 05.09.2014

Scrips of capital goods companies are seen trading with a positive bias this week on value
buying following the correction in share prices this week.

However, not all stocks may catch long-term investors' interest, and there could be some
profit booking towards the end of the week.

The last week's correction in prices, as well as growing optimism of a turnaround for the
sector from September, may see long term investors building positions in sector majors
such as Larsen & Toubro, and Crompton Greaves, as well as cooling solution maker
Voltas.

Based on the commentary from various companies, H2FY15 should see order inflow
traction in the power transmission, transportation infrastructure and water segments.

However, it also added that prospects of a pick-up in sales of short-cycle industrial goods
like engines, pumps and compressors are healthier compared with long-cycle businesses.
Electricals and consumer goods companies are also likely to be the first to benefit from
the early stages of growth. Boiler-turbine-generator players such as Siemens, ABB and
BHEL, on the other hand, may take longer to see significant improvement in order inflows owing to the over capacity in power sector.
