MARKET COMMENT :: Jitendra Gohil, head of India equity research at Credit Suisse Wealth Management

We recommend investors should increase exposure to private banks with a 12-18-month horizon. The economic growth momentum has picked up pace and the upcoming results season will provide more color on the strength of the broad-based rally in the market. 

 

While the valuation is very expensive – 12-month forward P/E of 21.2 at all time high levels – hopes of further fiscal stimulus in the US, development on vaccine and revival in economic activities in India may keep investor’s interest high.

MARKET COMMENT :: Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking

We expect further consolidation in the Nifty after the recent surge and also due to the existence of a hurdle at 12,800. In the case of any dip, it would find support around the 12,400-12,500 zone. Meanwhile, we suggest focusing on the broader markets as we’re seeing fresh traction but stick to the quality midcap and smallcap names

Nomura on markets

We think capital flows resulting from improved risk sentiment will drive stocks in the near term. Improvement in sentiment around the pandemic and improving high-frequency growth indicators and corporate earnings as the economy opens up could lead to market overlooking potential growth concerns that can emerge over time. Our Dec ’21 Nifty target of 13,640 is based on 19x Dec-22 earnings, assuming 4-5% risk to current consensus estimates.
