Adds stock move, details from press statement, industry background

Feb 28 (Reuters) - Indian stock broker Angel One ANGO.NS on Friday said some of its Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources were compromised and that it has hired an external forensic partner to investigate the impact.

The company's shares, already pressured in a weak market, extended losses to as much as 4.7% after the news.

"We have verified that this breach does not have any impact on clients' securities, funds and credentials and all our client accounts remain secure," the company said in an exchange filing.

Angel One said it was notified of the breach by its dark-web monitoring partner and that it immediately changed all credentials of its AWS cloud and other applications.

It did not give further details on the breach, which is the latest to have hit Indian companies, especially insurers.

Niva Bupa Health Insurance NIVA.NS reported an incident last week, while HDFC Life Insurance HDFL.NS and Star Health STAU.NS were other high-profile targets that led the insurance regulator to direct industry-wide audits of IT systems.

More broadly, the Reserve Bank of India, also the country's financial regulator, said it would launch secure website domain names to curb phishing and other such digital threats.

Oct 14 (Reuters) - Indian brokerage firm Angel One ANGO.NS reported higher second-quarter profit on Monday, helped by increased trading activity in a period when local stock markets registered strong growth.

The company's profit rose 39% to 4.23 billion rupees ($50.4 million) in the quarter ended Sept. 30, from 3.04 billion rupees a year earlier.

India's benchmark stock indexes clocked multiple record highs during July-September and rose for the sixth consecutive quarter, aided by a strong economy and inflows from domestic institutional and individual investors.

The sustained growth in the equity market led to Angel One's orders jumping 44.5%, which helped its total revenue rise to 15.15 billion rupees from 10.48 billion rupees a year ago.

The company's total client base rose 61% to 27.5 million year-on-year.

Its expenses, however, surged 47% to 9.44 billion rupees, largely due to a 73% rise in employee-related expenses.

The company cited employee and stock options costs "on account of onboarding of talent in wealth, tech, product and data analytics," for the higher expenses.

Angel One, which competes with startups such as Zerodha, Groww and Upstox, said its share in India's demat accounts rose to 15.7% from 13.2% a year earlier.

The company's shares ended 0.7% higher ahead of results on Monday. The stock has declined about 22% so far this year.

Oct 3 (Reuters) - Shares of Indian brokerages fell on Thursday after the markets regulator tightened rules for trading in derivatives.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Tuesday lowered the number of weekly options contracts available to trade for investors to one per exchange and raised the minimum trading amount by nearly three times. The changes will be implemented on Nov. 20.

Discount brokers 5Paisa Capital PAIS.NS and larger peer Angel One ANGO.NS were among the biggest losers, dropping 2.7% and 3.3%, respectively.

Indian stock exchanges were closed on Wednesday for a local holiday.

The measures will hit discount brokers that have a large clientele of retail traders the most, as well as exchanges, Jefferies said in a note.

Repeats story published on July 19 with no changes to text

By Bharath Rajeswaran

BENGALURU, July 19 (Reuters) - India unveils its budget on July 23 in the first major policy announcement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third five-year term, which could usher in changes to economic priorities.

After a shock election result saw Modi's party returned to power relying on allies, the government is expected to boost consumption in Asia's third-largest economy by lowering personal taxes or increasing spending on consumer-focused areas.

While that could benefit consumer goods makers, real estate and housing finance firms as well as infrastructure and auto companies, some sectors could also stand to lose, said brokerages.

Here are some of their winners and losers.

RURAL-LINKED SECTORS

The government is expected to allocate more funds for rural schemes to stimulate consumption, aiding consumer goods makers like Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS and two-wheeler makers like TVS Motor TVSM.NS and Hero MotoCorp HROM.NS, according to Citi.

A less than 5%-7% increase in tobacco taxes could be a positive for ITC ITC.NS, the country's largest cigarette maker, according to Jefferies.

REAL ESTATE

The government is likely to allocate more funds for affordable housing, benefitting developers such as Macrotech Developers MACE.NS and Sunteck Realty SUNT.NS, Citi said.

Moreover, the introduction of an interest subsidy scheme for urban housing would boost financiers like Aavas Financiers AVAS.NS and Home First Finance HOME.NS, said Jefferies.

AUTOMAKERS

India doled out subsidies worth 115 billion rupees ($1.38 billion) over five years to drive the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and Macquarie expects the government to retain both the quantum and tenure in its latest scheme.

That could benefit Tata Motors TAMO.NS, India's top e-car maker, as well as IPO-bound e-scooter maker Ola Electric and e-bus makers Olectra Greentech OLEC.NS and JBM Auto JBMA.NS.

Conversely, lesser-than-expected EV subsidies could benefit Maruti Suzuki MRTI.NS, India's highest-selling car maker and one that has chosen to make hybrid cars over pure EVs.

MANUFACTURING

The push on production-linked incentive schemes, which incentivises local manufacturing and creates jobs, is expected to continue, according to HSBC.

That will help manufacturers of technology hardware, telecom equipment, electronics and medical devices among others, like Dixon Technologies DIXO.NS, Ideaforge Technology IDEF.NS, Biocon BION.NS.

Capital goods companies like Larsen & Toubro LART.NS and infrastructure firms could benefit from the likely rise in capital expenditure in the budget, according to Jefferies.

TRADING

Any change in capital gains tax -- either by raising the holding period or tax rate -- could be a dampener for equities, Morgan Stanley said, though it says such moves are unlikely.

But, if enacted, they would increase the tax burden on equity and mutual fund investors, eroding the tax advantage they enjoy over investors in other asset classes.

It could also lead to lower trading volumes, weighing on brokerages Motilal Oswal MOFS.NS, ICICI Securities ICCI.NS, Angel One ANGO.NS, 5 Paisa PAIS.NS among others.

The country's mutual fund association has petitioned that mutual fund units be exempted from long-term capital gains tax.

The government and regulators also want to rein derivatives trading -- which has largely powered the stock market's rally since the COVID-19 pandemic -- calling it risky and speculative.

Any move to do so, such as through higher taxes, will not only weigh on the market but also reduce trading volumes and in turn, affect brokerages and trading platforms, Jefferies said.
