Foreign brokerages modify return expectation from Indian equities

Foreign brokerages trim their return expectation from Indian equities over the next 12 months due to the sudden rise in Covid cases and the micro-lockdowns imposed across key economic hubs in India. After Nomura that recently cut its March 2022 Nifty50 target to 15,340 (earlier target: 14,680 by December 2021), analysts at Goldman Sachs, too, have tempered their expectations, albeit modestly. They now see the Nifty at 16,300 levels in 12 months (16,500 earlier). However, they have retained their ‘overweight’ stance on India for now. With the new Covid-19 cases in India surging to a record high and a host of states announcing stricter lockdown restrictions, investors, Goldman Sachs said, are concerned about the risks to macro and earnings recovery. Despite the near-term headwinds, they expect the recovery to resume from Q3 onwards as restrictions normalise, vaccination pace accelerates and the global growth backdrop remains supportive.
