Expert Speak: Expect earnings growth at 16%-18% in FY26, stay invested, suggests Gopinath Natarajan of Geojit
Live MintExpert Speak: In a recent conversation with Mint, Gopinath Natarajan, CEO Asset Management at Geojit Financial Services, discussed the challenges of predicting when foreign portfolio investors will resume buying. He noted that with India's increasing share in emerging market indices and the recent correction making Indian markets more attractive, he believes India will continue to be a key focus for FPIs in their emerging market allocations. Natarajan also provided insights on earnings growth, the upcoming Reserve Bank of India monetary policy, potential IPOs, as well as sectors to consider and those to avoid. Some of the key reasons for India to have witnessed foreign institutional investor selling pressure over the last few months were uncertainty over the US elections, premium valuation of Indian markets, Chinese market stimulus & slowing earnings momentum. While it is difficult to predict when FPIs will start buying again, but with India’s growing EM index share & Indian markets now looking more attractive post the correction, we believe India will remain central to FPIs emerging market allocation.
