Moving on to news from the auto ancillaries sector...

Motherson Sumi Announces Multiple Buyouts as Part of Vision 2025

Motherson Sumi, India's biggest auto-component manufacturer, is pursuing multiple buyout deals, some of which will be made public in the final quarter of the year.

The buyouts are a part of the company's vision of tripling revenues by FY25 to US$ 36 billion from US$ 12 billion under the Vision 2025 plan.

Since 2002, Motherson Sumi Systems (MSSL) has made 24 acquisitions in the automotive and non-automotive segments, with the latest being the business assets of Bombardier's Mexico unit.

The electrical wiring interconnection systems (EWIS) of Bombardier Transportation's Mexico plant is engaged in making rolling stock.

Nearly 90% of MSSL's revenues emerge from outside of India. Half of its revenues came from Germany, France, Spain and the United States. Daimler Group, Audi and Volkswagen are the company's biggest customers, accounting for 35% of the revenues.

In the past, MSSL's acquisitions have been propounded by its clients.

While several governments around the world have stepped in to provide financial assistance to companies hit by Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdowns, many companies continue to be in bad shape.

MSSL is waiting to get clarity on the monetary assistance provided by governments. It remains unclear whether the assistance was in the form of a grant or a loan. The UK government, for example, agreed to pay 80% of salary a month, up to 2,500 pounds for employed staff.

The company has said based on this government support it should be able to carry out at least a few buyouts in the next few months.

Speaking of stocks, here's a pattern that if you see, you must sell your position. After all, exits are more important than entries.

In the chart below, we can see the head and shoulder pattern - the stock goes up, makes a high, falls a little bit, goes up to a higher high, does not make a higher low, rallies again, fails to make a new high, and then starts to break down.


This usually happens in a situation where a stock or index has typically been in a bull trend for a while.

According to Apurva Sheth, Senior Research Analyst at Equitymaster, spotting this pattern correctly can help you save money.
