India Strategy: Tale of two 9k’s (March 2015 and March 2017); Circle complete, will the Nifty traverse to a higher orbit?

  • ​As Nifty reached 9k again after two years, we took a detour and tried to compare underlying valuations, earnings growth prospects, institutional flows and broader macro-economic context
  • Valuations for the Nifty based on both one-year forward earnings and on trailing earnings are rich but at similar levels to March 2015.
  • Nifty’s earnings performance has been flat over the last three years. However, going forward, we are estimating healthy 21% earnings CAGR, aided by a low base of 2HFY17 and a recovery in Metals, PSU Banks and Oil & Gas.
  • Over the last three years, earnings expectations at the start of the year have ended in disappointment towards the end of the year, which puts earnings delivery (23% EPS growth in FY18) as the key risk for current valuations (18.1x FY18E EPS).
