Earnings Growth Expected to Drive Portfolio Returns More Than Valuation Changes: Nilesh Shah
Nilesh Shah, Managing Director of Kotak Mahindra Asset Management, stated that earnings growth will play a larger role than valuation re-rating in determining portfolio returns in the near term. He noted that Indian equity valuations are balanced, neither cheap nor expensive. The first-quarter earnings season was broadly positive, with most companies meeting or exceeding expectations, except for oil marketing companies which impacted aggregate earnings. Shah emphasized that sustained earnings growth will be key for future market performance rather than valuation expansion.
