Jefferies CEO Highlights Reasonable Valuations and Growth Potential in Indian Equities
Jefferies CEO Rich Handler states that Indian equities remain reasonably valued despite recent market corrections, with some foreign investors envying India's valuation multiples. He highlights India's strong growth, demographics, work ethic, and human capital as key strengths. Handler suggests that easing long-term capital gains taxes could attract more foreign investment. He also sees potential in India's AI and data centre sectors, while viewing concerns about an AI bubble as a reason for caution rather than alarm.
