Prabhudas Lilladher Revises 12-Month Nifty Targets Amid Inflation and Geopolitical Concerns

Prabhudas Lilladher projects the Nifty index to reach between 27,080 and 30,089 over the next 12 months, with a base case target of 27,080 and a bull case of 30,089. The brokerage remains positive on sectors like banks, capital goods, metals, telecom, and healthcare, while cautious on consumer, auto, IT services, and export-driven sectors due to inflation, elevated crude prices, and potential El Niño effects. It has adjusted its model portfolio by adding stocks such as Fortis Healthcare and Kotak Mahindra Bank, and trimming exposure to consumer and auto stocks. Risks include geopolitical tensions, inflation surpassing 5%, and supply chain disruptions, which may impact economic growth and valuations.
