India Inc Reports Strong 4QFY26 Earnings; 1QFY27 Outlook Clouded by West Asia Conflict
India Inc reported stronger-than-expected earnings in the March quarter of FY26, with Nifty-50 net income growing 6.6% against an expected 2.2%, according to Kotak Institutional Equities. However, the ongoing West Asia conflict poses risks of higher oil prices and supply disruptions, potentially leading to a challenging first quarter of FY27. Kotak noted that a swift resolution would have limited impact, while a prolonged crisis could negatively affect India's economic growth and corporate profits.
