Bears flexed their muscles for a second straight day Friday but found massive resistance from the bulls, which helped equity benchmarks settle well above the day’s low. Equities slipped more than 2 per cent lower in early trade, particularly battering the midcap and smallcap counters. The fall was in line with a sell off in global equities, with Asian markets tumbling after US President Barack Obama threatened tough new restrictions on banks, sending jitters across global markets. However, sentiment got better after Reliance Industries sprung a positive surprise for the market with its earnings declaration for the October-December quarter, thanks to a surge in gross refining margins. The company reported a net profit of Rs 4008 crore, up 14.48 per cent from Rs 3501 crore in the corresponding period a year ago. The standalone net sales grew to Rs 56,856 crore for the quarter ended on Dec 31, 2009 from Rs 31,563 crore in the same quarter previous year. During the quarter, the revenue from petrochemicals business rose 17 per cent year-on-year to Rs 14,756 crore and gross refining margins were recorded at $5.9 per barrel. Meanwhile, its Q3 refining revenues soared 143 per cent. Among other bluechip names that reported earnings for the October-December quarter were Bharti Airtel and ITC. Telecom giant Bharti Airtel managed a 2 per cent rise in quarterly net profit, beating street estimates. The company reported a standalone net profit of Rs 2312.10 crore for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2009, up from Rs 2296.94 crore for the quarter ended Sep 30, 2009. Net sales for the December quarter stood at Rs. 8755.45 crore compared with Rs. 8901.66 crore for the quarter to September. FMCG major ITC Ltd has posted standalone net profit of Rs. 1144.17 crore for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2009 against Rs. 903.21 crore for the corresponding quarter of 2008. Net sales stood at Rs. 4531.85 crore compared with Rs. 3833.31 crore year ago. Most of the damage has taken place in the last two sessions. Going into next week, we have a truncated week of trade along with the F&O expiry and the monetary policy review.
