Bernstein Maintains Nifty Target, Highlights Policy-Driven Factors Affecting Earnings
Global brokerage Bernstein retained its Nifty target at 26,000, highlighting that India's recent economic and corporate earnings growth is influenced by policy-driven factors such as government subsidies, GST cuts, offshore borrowing, and wage revisions. While NSE 200 companies showed strong revenue growth in the June quarter, profit growth remained modest. Bernstein cautioned that these temporary policy supports may limit broader market returns and do not necessarily reflect sustainable productivity gains, urging investors to consider these distortions when assessing market strength.
