IndusInd appoints Rajiv Anand as MD & CEO
The appointment of Rajiv Anand has received approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), but is subject to shareholder approval, the company said in an exchange filing on Monday.
Anand's appointment as MD&CEO follows the resignation of Sumant Kathpalia, the former MD&CEO of the bank, in April, who took moral responsibility for the accounting lapses at the bank.
Prior to this role, Anand was Deputy MD at Axis Bank, where he led the bank's wholesale banking business and was responsible for driving its digital agenda. He joined Axis Asset Management in 2009 as its founding MD & CEO.
Anand was one of three candidates recommended by the bank's board to the RBI for the position of MD&CEO. The RBI had given the board until June 30 to submit its list of candidates for the role.
Anand brings extensive experience across banking verticals and is well-positioned to lead the bank, Kotak Securities said in a report. The appointment helps ease those fears and signals a step toward restoring confidence, it added
While no major announcements are expected immediately following the transition, the initial focus is likely to be on attracting high-quality talent, tightening underwriting standards to mitigate risk, and strengthening compliance and governance, Kotak said. "The current rating (Reduce) reflects the view that it is still early to factor these changes into the investment thesis."

Charting the Global Economy: A split Bank of England cuts rates
The Bank of England reduced interest rates to a more than two-year low in a closer-than-expected decision that leaves investors with what Governor Andrew Bailey called 'genuine uncertainty' on its next move.

Stocks to buy for long term: Pankaj Pandey of ICICI Securities recommends L&T, Lemon Tree Hotels, Dalmia Bharat and more
Stocks to buy for long term: The Indian stock market is reeling under pressure due to tariff blow by US President Donald Trump, uninspiring earnings and foreign capital outflow. The Nifty 50 is now over 7 per cent down from its all-time high of 26,277.35, which it hit on September 27 last year. At this juncture, it seems difficult to foresee a fresh high for the Nifty 50 in the near future. Trump's tariffs are estimated to reduce India's GDP growth by as much as 1 per cent, hopes of an earnings recovery in the second half of the financial year (H2FY26) are weakening, and foreign investors are relentlessly pulling money out of Indian markets. Pankaj Pandey, the head of research at ICICI Securities, still believes that the Indian stock market can emerge from the Trump tariffs shock and the Nifty may hit the 27,000 level by the end of the year. "On an overall basis, we see limited impact on the equity market amid the India-US tariff across most sectors. We, in fact, see current tariff threats as negotiation tactics," said Pandey. Pandey even sees some winners out of this trade war. For example, with tariffs being imposed by the US across countries, India's relative export competitiveness has improved at the global stage in the electronic manufacturing service (EMS) segment, he explained. The head of research at ICICI Securities underscored that the trade war is still an evolving space, but it will force global brands to look for alternatives to countries like China over the medium term for manufacturing electronics items like mobile phones and laptops. However, Pandey said the contours of the ultimate tariff, which will be clear later once the negotiations end, will hold the key. "We believe we have learnt to live with this uncertainty and domestic factors such as corporate earnings, as well as macroeconomic indicators like GDP growth, capex spending, consumption, etc, will be a bigger catalyst," said Pandey. "Overall, we expect markets to move towards a new high by FY26 end. Our 12-month rolling Nifty target is pegged at 27,000 levels, wherein we have valued the index at nearly 22 times PE on FY27E," Pandey said. Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is India's largest engineering and construction (E&C) company. It has a current order backlog of ₹ 6,12,761 crore. L&T began FY26 with a strong quarter at 16 per cent revenue growth and 33 per cent growth in order inflows. L&T further has ₹ 14.8 lakh crore order bid pipeline for the remaining nine months of the financial year (9MFY26E). "With solid execution momentum expected to continue, we expect revenues and PAT to grow at a CAGR of 14.5 per cent and 19.4 per cent over FY25-FY27E. Further, L&T aspires to reach 18 per cent ROE by FY26E versus nearly 17 per cent in Q1FY26 and is best placed to play the India capex-led growth story," said Pandey. City Union Bank is a strong regional franchise with a deep-rooted presence in South India. Nearly 56 per cent of its advances are in secured MSME and agri segments. City Union Bank is well-positioned to deliver advanced growth surpassing the industry, aided by its focus on high-yield, granular segments. Margins are expected to remain resilient in the range of 3.45–3.5 per cent despite repo-linked repricing, supported by a favourable loan mix and improved liabilities mobilisation. Credit costs are projected to stay benign at nearly 50–60 bps, with an aim to raise specific PCR to nearly 63–64 per cent. While MSME stress remains a key monitorable, better-than-peer margins, stable asset quality and RoA at 1.4-1.5 per cent, justify relatively superior valuation. Lemon Tree Hotels is emerging as India's largest hotel chain in the mid-priced sector, with a room inventory of 10,269 in 111 hotels. 'Scale-up in performance of Aurika Mumbai and strong growth of 40 per cent+ in management contract revenues, coupled with steady growth in existing hotels, will drive Revenue and PAT CAGR of 16 per cent and 33 per cent over FY25-27E,' said Pandey. Value unlock in its subsidiary Fluer will be an additional trigger for stock, along with favourable industry tailwinds. Dalmia Bharat, the fourth largest cement manufacturer in India with a cement capacity of 49.5 mtpa, is poised to grow significantly, led by capacity additions along with a strong focus on capital allocation and cost-saving measures. With ongoing expansions at Karnataka, Maharashtra & Andhra Pradesh (3 mtpa each), total capacity would reach 61.5 mtpa by FY28E. Company targets to reach 110-130 mtpa by FY31E. "Profitability to improve driven by operational efficiencies (led by increasing green power share, optimisation of fuel mix, logistics, etc.) and positive operating leverage, translating to nearly 30 per cent EBITDA CAGR over FY25-27E," said Pandey. Steel Strips Wheels is a prominent player in the domestic oligopolistic wheels industry. It currently has five plants in India with a total production capacity of nearly 2.5 crore wheels per annum (including nearly 0.42 crore of alloy wheels), and it realises 32 per cent of its revenue from alloy wheels. "Its powertrain agnostic product profile (no EV risk) and healthy growth in volumes supported by capacity expansion will help it to achieve sales and PAT CAGR of 10 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively, over FY25P-27E," Pandey observed. "It is one of the inexpensive stocks in the auto ancillary space and trades at less than 13 times PE on FY27E, offering healthy upside. Double-digit CFO yield provided a good margin of safety," Pandey said. Read all market-related news here Read more stories by Nishant Kumar Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.

Trump believes ‘everybody wants him to run' for the third time
Donald Trump said he is convinced that Americans want him to serve a third term while hosting Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the White House. US President Donald Trump arrives to greet Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan's president, not pictured, outside the West Wing of the White House in Washington, DC, US. Photographer: Stefani Reynolds/Bloomberg(Bloomberg) During the visit, Trump, surrounded by his branded merchandise, held up a 'Trump 2028' hat and quipped: 'You know, you're not allowed to run, but I'm 28 points higher than anybody, and everybody wants me to run.' The joke raised eyebrows for two reasons: first, the U.S. Constitution limits a president to two elected terms; second, Trump has hinted before that he might not be entirely joking. ALSO READ| US military to invade Latin American countries? Donald Trump's action against drug cartels sparks fear Like a recent CNBC interview, he said, 'I'd like to run, I have the best poll numbers I've ever had. You know why?' 'Because people love the tariffs, and they love that foreign countries aren't ripping us off.' Azerbaijani Prez would like to see Trump in the Oval more Irish Star cited a Reddit thread discussing Trump's past similar comments, even floating a hypothetical workaround. The post details Trump once suggested that Vice President JD Vance could run for president, win, then step down, allowing Trump to take the position again. 'Trump's comments about running again in 2028, despite the constitutional limit, are part of a broader narrative where he has previously suggested ways to circumvent term limits, such as having Vice President JD Vance run and then resign, as reported in April 2025,' the Reddit thread read. Notably, in the video documenting Aliyev's visit, the Azerbaijani leader even joined in the banter, telling Trump he'd like to see him run again. Can Trump run for a third time? Legally, the 22nd Amendment prevents someone from being elected president more than twice. However, it doesn't explicitly bar a two-term president from becoming vice president or assuming the presidency through the line of succession. ALSO READ| Not just Salma Hayek, Donald Trump also asked Emma Thompson out: 'I'd love you to…' The 12th Amendment also states that anyone constitutionally ineligible to be president cannot serve as vice president, but a former two-term president isn't considered constitutionally ineligible, only barred from winning another election for the role.
