Moneycontrol BureauBrokerage house Credit Suisse says the Indian’s market’s one-year forward index (aggregate) earnings per share looks set to rise after nearly one-and-a-half years of stagnation.“This expectation is likely the reason index P/E is high,” writes Credit Suisse’s India Equity Strategist Neelkanth Mishra.Indian equities are now trading a little over 17 times one-year forward earnings, which many experts feel is expensive given the patchy recovery in the economy and a slower-than-expected recovery in earnings.“We would, however, refrain from calling this a risk-on rally yet, and focus on EPS growth,” writes Mishra.Credit Suisse’s top picks are ICICI Bank, Larsen & Toubro, BPCL, Tata Motors, Hindustan Unilever, HDFC and Shriram Transport Finance.The brokerage is bearish on state-owned banks, Bharti Airtel and most capital gods companies.
