Emkay Sees Nifty 50 Reaching 27,000 by September 2027
Emkay, a financial research firm, thinks India's main stock index could climb to 27,000 by September 2027.
It believes companies can keep earning money and that share prices have become more reasonable after falling.
Emkay also says India's domestic economy and demand provide support.
But the market has recently had a long losing streak, and its Friday rebound was modest.
High oil prices and global financial pressures could make the recovery harder.
Emkay says earnings growth may also slow in the second half of FY27.
If oil stays above $100 per barrel and bond-yield spreads remain narrow, the Nifty could instead fall to 21,000.
The forecast depends on companies meeting earnings expectations and broader conditions improving.
Emkay Global Financial Services forecasts the Nifty 50 could rise about 20% to 27,000 by September 2027.
The brokerage cites resilient earnings, more attractive valuations after the correction and supportive domestic fundamentals.
Emkay projects FY27 and FY28 Nifty earnings-per-share growth of 17.9% and 13.6%, respectively.
The Nifty fell for eight straight weeks, losing 8.7%, before modestly rebounding on Friday, 9 October.
Emkay warns that crude above $100 a barrel and narrow bond-yield spreads could push the Nifty down to 21,000.
