Operating margins expanded significantly by 301 basis points year-over-year due to a 221 basis point increase in gross margins from lower newsprint prices and cost controls. However, earnings growth was lower at 12% due to a steep decline in other income compared to the prior year quarter. Going forward, the company expects advertising revenue growth of 17-18% for fiscal year 2011 and margin expansion, positioning it for strong earnings growth, though near-term quarters may be weaker without seasonal tailwinds.

The bottom line growth was driven by lower tax expenses from tax refunds received for prior years. Operating profit grew 3.3% to Rs64cr on better realizations.

Ashok Leyland reported a 157% year-over-year growth in net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, which was lower than expected. While volumes grew substantially by 178% year-over-year, growth in other business segments was lower than expected.

The outlook for the domestic commercial vehicle industry remains positive on expected volume growth of 16-18% for fiscal year 2011.
Bajaj Auto reported strong results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The company's top line was marginally above expectations, driven by a 70% year-over-year increase in total volumes.

Operating margins expanded to 20.9% due to lower other expenses. Net profit grew 6.5% to Rs257cr from higher margins and other income. The company expects its new Indore facility to start contributing significantly over the next 6-12 months and sees this aiding substantial future growth. The report recommends buying the stock.
JP Associates reported a 51.8% year-over-year increase in net sales for the first quarter of FY2011, driven by strong growth in the cement, construction, and real estate verticals. However, operating margins declined significantly from 28% to 21.2% due to margin pressure, resulting in a 57.6% decrease in recurring earnings. While reported profits were up 5% due to exceptional gains, underlying earnings were down. The analyst maintains a buy rating but expects margins to recover, and forecasts JP Associates will become one of the fastest growing conglomerates in cement, power, and real estate.
Wipro reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, with revenues growing 3.1% over the previous quarter and 12.6% over the same quarter last year. Operating profit margins expanded due to effective currency hedges, and net income grew 9% over the previous quarter and 30.5% over the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Revenues grew 17.8% year-over-year to Rs. 7,096 crore, exceeding estimates, driven by growth in the natural gas transmission, trading and LPG segments.

GSK Consumer reported a 14.5% year-over-year increase in revenue to Rs537 crore for the second quarter of 2010, below analyst estimates. Earnings grew 30% to Rs71.8 crore, ahead of estimates, driven by margin expansion from lower advertising spending and higher other income. While the company's core brands Horlicks and Boost saw healthy volume growth of 10% and 17% respectively, overall volume growth moderated to around 10%. Looking forward, the company expects advertising spending to increase in the second half of the year with the national rollout of new product Horlicks Foodles.
Blue Star reported a 25.2% year-over-year increase in net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, though margins declined and profit fell. While sales grew across all segments, higher input costs and lower commission income caused operating margins to drop 281 basis points year-over-year to 9.2%. Net profit declined 10% year-over-year due to the margin pressure and a change in accounting policy. However, the company's order backlog grew nearly 15% and the outlook for large orders remains positive.
ABG Shipyard reported a 1QFY2011 result that was marginally below estimates due to lower execution. While operating margins improved substantially due to lower costs, this was offset by higher depreciation expenses. The company's order backlog provides strong revenue visibility through FY2014, however its increasing debt levels are a concern. As a result, the analyst downgraded their rating on ABG Shipyard stock from "Buy" to "Accumulate" and lowered the target price.
GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals reported financial results for the first quarter of 2010 that were ahead of estimates. Net sales increased 18.4% year-over-year to Rs541.1 crore, driven by growth in the vaccine and dermatology segments. Operating margin expanded to 37% from 36% in the prior year quarter due to an improved product mix. Net profit grew 12.6% to Rs161.2 crore. The analyst maintains a "Reduce" rating on the stock and sets a target price of Rs1,700, citing rich valuations of 29.1 times estimated 2010 earnings.
BGR Energy Systems reported strong results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Revenue grew 191% year-over-year to Rs. 905 crore, driven by execution of EPC projects. Net profit increased 205.6% to Rs. 61 crore. Margins were compressed due to higher raw material costs but execution of large EPC contracts provides good revenue visibility. The company maintains its neutral rating on BGR Energy Systems due to its order backlog, transformation into a full EPC provider through potential JV with Hitachi, and growth opportunities in the power sector.
1) Marico reported a 13.4% increase in quarterly revenue to Rs. 790.1 crore, above estimates, led by 16% volume growth in its core brands Parachute and Saffola.
2) Earnings grew 27% to Rs. 73.7 crore after adjusting for tax rate declines, despite margins contracting.
3) The analyst upgrades Marico stock from "Reduce" to "Neutral" and increases earnings estimates by 2-3% based on strong volume growth and lower taxes boosting profits.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Top-line surges on robust auto growth and increase in industrial segment: For
2QCY2010, the company’s net sales grew 34.7% yoy to Rs273cr (Rs202cr) above
our expectation of Rs244cr. This was largely driven by a substantial jump in overall
auto volumes and sharp recovery in the industrial bearing segment. Overall pickup
in economic activities helped the company to clock robust top-line growth. The
company is operating at almost 100% utilisation levels, which poses a risk of
capacity constraints going forward if demand continues to be strong.

Investment Arguments
Industry outlook encouraging: In a developing economy like India, with a
greater focus on mechanisation of the manufacturing process, the demand for
bearings is expected to outperform industrial growth. Consequently, the
industrial segment (which accounts for almost 50% of the Indian bearings
market) offers immense growth opportunity for the bearings industry.
Moreover, the bearings segment has a direct correlation with the auto sector
growth, which is expected to record CAGR of 16-17% over the next couple of
years.
Strong support from parent company: FAG India is a group company of FAG
Kugelfischer George Schaefer AG. The parent manufactures bearings for
automotive and industrial applications. FAG India is a preferred supplier of
bearing systems to some of the leading manufacturers of cars and trucks like
Maruti, M&M, Tata Motors, GM, Ford and Daimler Chrysler. Notably, with the
global players looking at enhancing their capacities in India, FAG can enjoy
an edge over its peers to supply to these OEMs in India.
Up-cycle valuation for robust earnings CAGR: The recovery in auto demand
will aid the company in registering a CAGR of around 20% in net sales and
33% in net profit over CY2009-11E. At the CMP of Rs760, the stock is trading
at 9.8x CY2011E earnings of Rs77.6. We believe that robust growth in the
auto segment and recovery in the industry cycle will help the company to clock
higher returns and stock in catching up with its historical valuations.
Outlook and Valuation
We have revised our estimates upward: 1) ~9% upward revision in revenue to
account of robust top-line growth in 2QCY2010, 2) higher OPM on better
operating leverage, and 3) ~30% revision in earnings
