As the new Samvat begins, the focus is expected to shift towards companies with sustainable earnings, strong balance sheets and consistent cash-flow generation. Avinash Agarwal, Senior Vice President and Head of Equity at Bandhan Life, said the market outlook remained constructive, but returns were likely to be moderate and selective.
"Earnings growth, rather than valuation expansion, is likely to be the primary driver of market performance going forward. Given the underperformance of large caps driven by FII outflows and the strong growth in midcaps, we expect the large- and midcap segments to do well," Agarwal said.
He expects large- and midcap stocks to benefit when FIIs return, given the wider choice of industries and the investment scale available in these segments.
Banking and financial services, healthcare, select industrials, infrastructure and consumption-oriented businesses remain among the key sectors to watch, subject to valuations and earnings prospects. Agarwal also highlighted the importance of disciplined asset allocation, staggered investments and a long-term investment horizon.
He advised investors to view market corrections as opportunities to accumulate quality businesses rather than react to short-term sentiment. India's long-term growth prospects, he said, remained intact, with quality and earnings resilience central to wealth creation.
