HSBC maintains reduce on Narayana Hrudayalaya, sees long gestation for India expansion
By News Desk Published on May 29, 2025, 07:56 IST
HSBC has maintained a Reduce rating on Narayana Hrudayalaya with a target price of ₹1,220, even as the company posted an operational beat in Q4FY25, mainly driven by stronger-than-expected performance from its new Cayman Islands unit.
The brokerage highlighted that while the Q4 numbers exceeded their expectations, the key driver was the Cayman facility, which ramped up ahead of schedule. However, HSBC remained cautious on the medium-term growth outlook, pointing out that the benefits from Narayana's ongoing bed expansion in India are still 3–4 years away.
The firm believes that while the current momentum is encouraging, valuations already factor in much of the near-term optimism, and the long gestation period for Indian operations tempers their overall outlook.

Satellite Images Show Giant Port Emerge at World's Biggest Construction Site
Satellite imagery showed advances in construction of Oxagon, a floating industrial complex that is a key component of Saudi Arabia's Neom, currently the world's largest construction site. Newsweek has contacted Neom for comment. The new port city has a strategic location in one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe. Neom is the flagship element of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 aimed at diversifying its economy away from oil dependence. Oxagon, The Line and the Trojena Ski resort are among its most ambitious pieces. Neom has recently announced several progress reports, with a new CEO now in charge of resolving the project's budget overruns and delays amid multiple simultaneous, ambitious, and costly projects. Images captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites showed rapid progress made on Oxagon city and port, set to become one of the world's most advanced port terminals, the facility lies on the Red Sea in northwestern Saudi Arabia. The Port of NEOM has received Saudi Arabia's first fully automated, remote-controlled cranes, marking a key step in boosting Red Sea trade, automation, and tech-driven job creation, the company announced this week on LinkedIn. The Red Sea corridor is a major shipping route linking Asia via the Indian Ocean, to Europe and Africa via the Suez Canal. Oxagon's proximity to the canal, which facilitates almost 12% of global trade, provides it with a strategic edge, according to Blackridge Research & Consulting, an Indian-based specialized market research firm. The port is part of an envisioned cutting-edge industrial city which will fully rely on renewable energy and aims to host some 90,000 inhabitants by 2030, according to the government's vision. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had announced the establishment of Oxagon in 2021. "It will contribute to Saudi Arabia's regional trade and commerce, and support creating a new focal point for global trade flows," Al-Arabiya's English website quoted him as saying. Neom's Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) is developing the world's largest green hydrogen facility-a $8.4 billion project- at Oxagon. Melissa Blake, Port Director at Neom wrote on Linkedin: "Port of Neom is excited to receive the first batch of cranes and other cargo handling equipment as we come another step closer to delivering our vision." Saudi Arabia's Government Vision 2030's website: "Sitting at the crossroads of 3 continents, Oxagon is a place where people, nature and technology come together in harmony." Vishal Wanchoo, CEO of Oxagon said in May: "Industrial development cannot continue at the expense of people or the environment. We're offering a compact, mixed-use city where industry, nature, and community coexist." The port is planned to act as the main trade gateway to northwestern Saudi Arabia, with a smart logistics hub, connects Asia, Europe, and Africa.

£10k in cash savings earning peanuts? Considering these dividend stocks could mean a ton of passive income
UK interest rates have been coming down recently. As a result, the rates on savings accounts have been falling too. The good news is that it's still possible to generate substantial passive income with dividend stocks. Here's a look at two UK stocks that offer chunky yields at present and could be worth considering as income investments today. First up, we have HSBC (LSE: HSBA). It's a global leader in the banking space. This is my favourite UK banking stock (even though I don't own it personally today). I like it because it's globally diversified and has exposure to high growth areas such as Asia and wealth management. For the 2025 financial year, analysts expect HSBC to reward investors with dividends of around 67 cents per share. That translates to a yield of about 5.7% at today's share price and exchange rate (income of approx. £285 per year on a £5,000 investment). Dividend coverage (the ratio of earnings per share to dividends per share) is expected to be around two. That's healthy and indicates that there's a low chance of a dividend cut in the near term. It's worth pointing out that banking can be a turbulent industry at times. So with a stock like this, investors need to expect some share price volatility. If one is willing to hold the stock for five years, however (which is generally the minimum recommended time to own a stock), I think there's potential for solid total returns (dividend income and capital gains). Next, we have M&G (LSE: MNG). It's a UK savings and investment company. It's not the most exciting company in the world. But it has a good track record when it comes to paying dividends and it offers a high yield at present. Indeed, for 2025, analysts expect M&G to reward investors with a payout of 20.6p per share. That translates to a yield of about 8.6%. On a £5,000 investment, that works out at around £430 income per year. Dividend income is never guaranteed, however, and investors should note that the dividend coverage ratio here is a little on the low side at around 1.3 (signalling that there's a chance of a dividend cut at some stage). Like HSBC, M&G operates in an industry that can be volatile at times. When financial markets get turbulent, the company's share price can swing around wildly as investors worry about future profitability. This company has stood the test of time though, having been around for over 150 years. So, I think it's worth considering as an income play. It's worth pointing out that when investing for income, it's smart to own at least 15 different stocks. Owning just one or two is quite risky. If one had £10,000 to deploy, it wouldn't be smart to put it all into just two stocks. This could lead to disappointing returns if one (or both) of the stocks experienced some problems. Thankfully, there are lots of great dividend stocks on the London Stock Exchange today. If you're looking for more investment ideas, you've come to the right place.
