What could drive the market in Samvat 2083?
As the new Samvat kicks in, the markets are all about corporate results, business growth and valuation to pick out the opportunities.
ICICI Direct expects Indian equities to deliver healthy double digit returns over the next 12 months on the back of earnings growth and improving market conditions.
Motilal Oswal Financial Services also expect corporate earnings to improve, with Nifty EPS growth at 16% in FY27 and 14% in FY28.
However valuations are still a key consideration (especially in the small cap space). The investor may be better off looking at companies with strong fundamentals, sustainable earnings, and reasonable valuations rather than chasing a stock based on recent returns.
