L&T- A good opportunity for Long term Investors

Larsen & Toubro Limited, commonly known as L&T. L&T is an Indian Multinational Conglomerate in Engineering, Construction and Financial Services. This company saw the growth by leaps and bounds. It is one of the broadest Portfolios in India which is diversified into Nuclear Power plants, Defence, space, Airport, Highway, Smart cities, Information Technology to name a few in where L&T has its presence. Hostile takeovers are very rare in India. One of the most famous of such cases was when Reliance Industries under the late Dhirubhai Ambani in 1980s to take over L&T. Another such case occurred in the 2000s when Reliance sold its entire stake in L&T to Kumar Mangalam Birla who wanted L&T to join his group, however, both the bids were not successful.

The Ichimoku cloud indicator shows the decline in the share price of the company over a period of time due to the economic slowdown in the country along with the Coronovirus outbreak which has caused to the lockdown of various industries plunging their production and growth. The Chikou span line depicts an upward trend in the price movements for the stock as it moves in an upward direction and also the formation of bullish candlesticks shows the demand for the stock. The formation of red cloud has ended along with the base line and conversion line depicting a deviation in the price movements indicates a trend reversal for the stock.

 
 Moreover, L&T has acquired a convincing stake on Mindtree which gave them the leverage to change the Top Level Management of the company to exercise the full power on the company. L&T’s management has approved their first interim dividend of Rs.10 per Equity share which captures the financial position and the liquidity of the company in the current scenario. Also, the company has acquired an order for design, supply, installation and commissioning of power transmission infrastructure in Bangladesh, Nepal and in Saudi Arabia. The Assam state’s Health Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma mentioned that the government would be constructing temporary COVID-19 dedicated hospitals with respect to partnering with L&T.
The following chart shows the downward trend of the stock as the price falls. The formation of candlesticks closer to the lower band indicates that the shares are being traded at their lowest prices for the session which might change as the width of the Bollinger band has widened indicating a scope for reversal trend. The last three candlesticks are showing an upward movement in the price as it moves away from the lower band with a bullish trend.
 

In the past two months, the Capital goods companies such as L&T, BHEL, NBCC, HEG, Bharat Forge and Graphite India have experienced a decline in their share prices to an extent of 35-46% which has lowered the demand in the industry. With the demand and supply disruption caused in China, the overall global market have impacted and also the spread of the virus during the busiest month will disrupt the business.
