Bulls & Bears: Markets consolidate gains; Cyclicals outshine Defensives

  • ​After delivering 19% returns in FY17, the Nifty made a good start to FY18 with 1.4% gains in April-2017. Indian currency has also rallied 5.4% in the first four months of CY17, bolstering dollar index returns. However, at 22.5x trailing 12 months and 19x FY18E P/E, valuations do not offer much comfort unless accompanied by an earnings surprise, in our view.
  • Barring Healthcare, Technology, Oil & Gas and Utilities, all other sectors trade at a premium to their respective LPA. Cement is now trading at a premium of 53% and 41% on P/E and P/B basis v/s LPA. In this edition of ‘Bulls & Bears’, we take a deep dive into valuation metrics of the Oil & Gas sector.
  • India’s share in world market cap inches above historical average. Over last 12 months, world market cap has increased 14.4% (USD9.2t); India’s market cap has increased 34%.
