The brokerage had set a target of 27,200 for December. The target is based on a conservative 12 per cent earnings compound annual growth between FY14 and FY17, Nomura’s analyst team led by Prabhat Awasthi said in an India strategy report.
The Sensex trades at a projected 12-month earnings multiple of 15 times. Nomura expects the market to get re-rated and trade at 16.4 times.
Analysts have turned cautious on the Indian market after a 22 per cent gain in 2014.
