Expert view: Manufacturing, capital goods to remain high-growth sectors in 2025, says Motilal Oswal Fund Manager
Live MintExpert view: Unless a revival in corporate earnings, the new year could be muted for the Indian stock market, says Santosh Kumar Singh, Fund Manager at Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund. With the stock prices moving up at a faster pace than EPS growth in the last four years, we would expect the calendar year 2025 to be slightly muted compared to the last few years. We would expect the government to focus on capex to remain; hence, capital goods companies may maintain high growth. There are multiple triggers to this segment: we expect monetary policies to become more accommodative as we are already seeing a moderation in GDP growth, We may see a stable NIM from hereon, and in my view, most of the pain from the unsecured book is already in the price, and once we see that book recovering we may see the stock performing really well.
