Auto Stocks Outlook for the week – 24 to 28.08.2015
Seen down next week following broader indices

Most automobile stocks are seen trading with a negative bias next week, primarily tracking broader indices, which are also expected to see a lower week as global economic concerns persist. Maruti Suzuki India Ltd is likely to be the best-placed automaker next week, owing to strong fundamentals backed by launches and portfolio, while also being supported by a hike in prices it confirmed Thursday.

In spite of being the best of the pack, Maruti Suzuki, too, is likely to witness at best muted action in its counter. Among segments, we see stocks of commercial vehicle and passenger vehicle

manufacturers outperforming their two-wheeler rivals. Two-wheeler stocks are seen trading with a negative bias on poor rural sales, with the outlook for the same also not being positive for the near term. A pick-up is seen in motorcycle demand only from Q4 (Jan-Mar), and till then the category will keep dragging two-wheeler stocks.
