Fundamental Analysis:
Axis Bank, a prominent player in the Indian banking sector, is currently showing promising signs in terms of price and earnings forecasts according to analysts. However, revenue forecasts are not as attractive. Despite this, the financial health of the bank instills confidence among investors.
One notable aspect is the distribution of share ownership, where the majority is held by institutional investors such as mutual funds (21.43%), DIIs (7.40%), and FIIs (54.68%). The remaining 8.29% is held by retailers, with 4.05% being held by high net worth individuals (HNIs). The concentration of ownership by smart money, including institutional investors and HNIs, signifies strong support for the stock. Notably, this ownership is increasing quarter-over-quarter, indicating growing confidence in the company's prospects.
Moreover, Axis Bank has established partnerships with numerous corporations, serving as the primary bank for the salary accounts of their employees. This strategic positioning allows Axis Bank to tap into a stable customer base, enhancing its revenue streams and solidifying its market presence.
As the fourth largest private sector bank in India, Axis Bank holds significant market share, particularly in credit cards and merchant acquiring services, which positions it well within the industry.
Technical Analysis:
From a technical perspective, Axis Bank's stock price has recently touched the bottom trendline of an ascending channel, suggesting a potential bullish move. There is a potential increase of approximately 10.38% to reach the all-time high, with a further upward potential of about 17% to the upper trendline of the ascending channel.
Considering this technical setup, a decision has been made to enter a position equivalent to 0.625% of the net capital. Further accumulation may be considered if the stock consolidates around current levels in the near future. But I do realise that there is a possibility for the price to rally from the current levels itself, without providing a second entry opportunity.
If the market crashes, additional accumulation may be considered at potential support levels.
