Analysts Raise India's 2026 Profit Growth Forecast Amid Q1 Earnings Resilience
Indian companies reported stronger-than-expected earnings for Q1 FY27, with about 70% meeting or exceeding forecasts, leading analysts to raise full-year 2026 profit growth estimates by 50 basis points to 14.3%. Mid- and small-cap firms and financials notably contributed to this upgrade. However, HSBC cautioned that elevated commodity prices and diminishing benefits from GST cuts and inventory gains could pose downside risks in upcoming quarters, potentially leading to earnings downgrades in sectors like autos and hospitals.
