Market participants expect fundamentals to come into focus after election-related noise dies down. Some of the sectors where analysts expect to see strong earnings growth include health care, telecom & media, consumer discretionary and financials. 

Analysts expect the health care sector to see earnings growth of 31 per cent in FY20 as they hope some of the US-pricing issues could ease. 

Telecom & media is expected to witness a dip in FY19, before seeing a strong recovery in FY20. The earnings growth for the sector in FY20 could come in at 30 per cent. The consumer discretionary is also expected to report growth of 31 per cent in FY20. 

According to analysts, financials are likely to be the pick of the lot with the sector estimated to clock earnings growth of 53 per cent in FY20. 

Analysts expect ongoing resolutions to increase comfort on asset quality for banks, but they see weaker earnings cycle for non-banking financial companies.
