Money managers anticipate blue-chip stocks will be the preferred equity investment in 2026, potentially benefiting from a return of foreign investors to India. Analysts project the Nifty and Sensex to gain 8-14% in 2026, with Nifty reaching 28,000-29,500 and Sensex 94,000-96,000. While large caps offer valuation comfort and earnings growth, mid-caps may present opportunities, though small-caps are considered overvalued.
