Monarch Networth CEO Predicts Market Recovery Soon
Gaurav Bhandari, the CEO of Monarch Networth Capital, believes that the Indian stock market is closer to recovery than most people think.
He points out that the recent correction is valuation-driven, not fundamentals-driven, and that corporate earnings and the banking sector are performing well.
Bhandari advises investors to continue their SIPs, focus on quality stocks, and rebalance their portfolios.
He is constructively bullish on Indian equities for the rest of 2026, with a caveat on geopolitical risks.
The strong influx of retail investors is seen as a stabilizing force in the market.
Nifty has delivered negative returns over the last two years, with a YTD decline of over 8%.
Corporate earnings for the Nifty 500 grew 15.6% in FY26, and banking sector NPAs are at a 15-year low.
India's GDP continues to grow at 6.5-7%, and the Nifty is trading at approximately 20 times trailing PE.
Bhandari advises continuing SIPs, focusing on quality stocks, and rebalancing portfolios during prolonged downtrends.
He is constructively bullish on Indian equities for the rest of 2026, with a caveat on geopolitical risks.
