Need to watch out for MSP hikes. IIP at 4.9% aided by 13% y-o-y growth in capital goods production Higher current account deficit at 1.9% in Q4FY18. Rupee to remain weak in FY19 if crude remains at elevated level. Monsoons to be normal. Positive for Auto/FMCG/Agrochem. Government spending could get fast tracked (Roads/Railways/Ganga cleaning 4

8 Flows: Indian better than others India better off than other EMs and Asian markets (in CYTD flows). India fared better even in CY17. Source: Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE) 8

9 Earnings: Aggressive future estimates KIE is building in Nifty earnings growth of 23% in FY19E and 19% in FY20E. Numbers look aggressive but the base of FY18 is very low. Expect RoEs to improve to more than 15% in FY20E (from 12.7% in FY18). Source: Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE) 9

10 Valuations: Global comparison India looks expensive on absolute and relative basis Vs other markets. However, if India s high earnings growth forecasts materializes then on PEG* basis it can deserve to trade at premium valuations. Source: Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE); PEG stands for Price/Earnings to Growth 10

11 Nifty Valuations: On the higher side Nifty valuations are rich at 18x Fw PE but not in bubble zone. Further re-rating looks difficult. Source: Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE) 11

12 Valuations: Earnings Yield Vs. Bond Yield Bond Yields are far higher then Earnings yield. This puts Equity market valuations at risk. Source: Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE) 12

13 Mid Cap Vs Nifty Valuations Orange line in the adjacent graph is the Mid Cap Fw PE and light Green is Nifty Fw PE (both are on rolling 12 months Fw earnings). The Mid Cap Fw PE is still very high as compared to the Nifty (even after the sharp correction). The reason could be a sharper reduction in forward estimates of Mid Cap companies. The Mid Cap Index is still trading at more than 15% premium to the Nifty (in terms of Fw PE). Source: Bloomberg 13

14 Investment Strategy Returns to be based on earnings delivery rather than PE expansion. Several midcaps have corrected in Additional Surveillance measures by SEBI, Corporate governance issues & Auditor related issues. Need to be very selective while choosing midcaps. Focus on Good management, superior earnings growth & reasonable valuations. Apportion larger allocation towards large caps (that too in safer names). Preferred Sectors: Automobiles, Pharmaceuticals, Agro Chemicals, Housing Finance, Metals and Infra & Construction. 14
