In November 2023, Unmesh Sharma, Executive VP, Head Institutional Equities at HDFC Securities, in an interview with Moneycontrol, said after the first half of FY24 earnings and expectations for the second half of FY24, "achieving FY25 earnings estimates itself will be tough, beating it would rather be a herculean task”.

Combining rich valuations and uncertainty about earnings growth in FY25, he was of the view that Nifty gains in FY25 would be muted. Geopolitical tensions and Brent crude prices remain major risk factors, he said.
