The Indian market is witnessed a slight dip in momentum earlier in the month of August when benchmark indices fell by about 3.5 percent but that has not changed the overall trend for market.
Analysts on D-Street do not see Nifty50 on steroids for the next 12 months but a return anywhere between 10-12 percent is something which can be on cards.
Market valuations look expensive when compared to long term averages but earnings recovery is likely to drive the next leg of the rally, suggest experts. Hence, investors will be better off investing in individual stocks which are likely to hog the limelight.
“Market Valuations appears expensive but only optically. Companies which are witnessing earnings growth are the ones which are appreciating in price,” Sahil Kapoor, Chief Market Strategist at Edelweiss Broking said.
“Price to Earnings multiples of Indian stocks have expanded to 18x. The next leg of the uptick is expected to be driven by revival in earnings,” he said.
Kapoor further added that the Nifty is likely to touch 11,500 in CY18 based on blended EPS growth of 15-20 percent over the next one year. The Nifty EPS FY17/18 – 535/645.
Investors should not get worried about intermediate dips because corrections are part of bulls markets which gives an opportunity to investors who were not able to buy at lower levels.
Investors should resist the urge to decrease their equity allocation on concerns of further erosion of wealth. Instead, investors should look at the future.
It is not possible to time market bottom or a market top but disciplined approach towards investing always creates wealth for investors.
The rise in global and domestic liquidity is likely to keep the momentum going for Indian markets and any dips should be used to average out your conviction stocks.
“The domestic flows are much more sustainable going forward and will help in stabilising the market. India is still a buy on dips market but investors need to moderate their return expectations keeping in view what the current CPI is and where the 10-Year bond yields are,” Mahesh Nandurkar, India Strategist, CLSA said in an interview with CNBC-TV18.
“With CPI of around 4-4.5 percent and Bond Yields at 6.5 percent or so, one should be happy with a return of 10-12 percent from equity markets which we think is likely in the next 12 months,” said Nandurkar.
We have collated a list of 15 stock from large and midcap space from various experts which are likely to outperform benchmark indices in the next 12 months. Investors can look at buying these stocks on dips:
