Market expert Sudip Bandyopadhyay views 2025 as a disappointing year for Indian equities, marked by foreign institutional investor (FII) selling and volatile, narrow-range trading. However, he anticipates a more promising 2026, with improving valuations, expected earnings revival, and GDP growth of 7-8% potentially yielding 15% returns. Bandyopadhyay favors consumption sectors, LIC, and health insurers, suggesting that time correction has made valuations more reasonable for selective stock picking.
