Live Mint  

Indian frontline indices have experienced a notable correction from their recent highs, with the broader market also witnessing a sizable decline from its peaks. However, domestic brokerage firm Kotak Institutional Equities asserts that the recent correction has not created any meaningful investment opportunities in the market.

These stocks have also witnessed sharp corrections over the past three to six months, although downgrades to FY2025E and FY2026E consensus EBITDA and EPS estimates have been limited. Long way to go, given the large gap between price and value The brokerage does not find much value in most parts of the market, as the valuations of most sectors and stocks remain at fair, full, or frothy levels.
