The Indian stock market is ending the financial year 2024 on a strong note, rising over 25 per cent. The outlook for the next financial year is also positive.
Naveen Kulkarni, Chief Investment Officer at Axis Securities PMS believes earnings of Nifty 50 may grow by almost 20 per cent by the end of FY24 and the Nifty 50 may deliver a healthy double-digit return in the low to mid-teens in FY25.
Also, with the interest rate cuts indicated by the US Federal Reserve, valuations are more likely to remain stable globally.
“We can expect the Nifty 50 or large-cap index to deliver slightly better returns than the broader market, but stock picking will remain the key to outperforming the market,” said Kulkarni.
