The Indian stock market anticipates a positive 2026, driven by expectations of increased earnings growth, stable macroeconomic fundamentals, and a potential US-India trade deal. Despite a turbulent 2025 marked by high valuations and foreign investor outflows, the Nifty 50 and Sensex showed resilience. Analysts project significant gains for 2026, with targets suggesting over 9-12% upside, citing reasonable valuations and anticipated foreign investment diversification.
