Metal Stocks Outlook for the week – 27 to 31.10.2014

Stocks of metal companies are expected to trade with a positive bias next week as traders believe
that metal companies may show operational improvement in their Jul-Sep earnings inspite of
what was considered a slow market.

JSW Steel Tuesday surprised the market by posting a Jul-Sep consolidated net profit of 7.49 bln
rupees, against estimates of 7.15 bln rupees, as ahigher proportion of value added products in the
company's product mix helped push up margins. Companies seem to be taking the right steps
there is a belief that sentiment could turn positive.

Investors will also eye Jul-Sep results of Sesa Sterlite, scheduled to detail its earnings on Wednesday. NMDC Ltd will also report its earnings on Oct 31.
