Good news for everyone! The Nifty 50 index has gone up more than 1% in the last two trading days. A company called Axis Securities believes that the index could reach 26,100 by December 2025, which is an 8% increase from where it is now. They think India’s economy is growing strong, thanks to more money being spent on projects, which helps banks lend more. This means that Indian stocks could provide great returns, predicted to be in the double digits over the next 2-3 years.
Axis Securities expects earnings to grow at a strong rate of 14% each year from 2023 to 2027. They see good signs from the economy, government spending on buildings and roads, and a stable political situation. Financial stocks like ICICI Bank and SBI are expected to do really well in 2025 and 2026.
Even though some investors might be looking at China for a little while, Axis Securities is still confident about the long-term prospects of Indian stocks. Their advice? Focus on choosing good-quality stocks at reasonable prices to increase your chances of earning money in the next year.
In the short term, there might be some ups and downs in the market. Axis Securities suggests a “Buy on Dips” strategy. They recommend keeping some cash handy (about 10%) to take advantage of price drops and to invest in high-quality companies that are likely to perform well in the next 12-18 months.
In a nutshell, Axis Securities feels positive about India’s market in the long run, even when the global situation seems unpredictable.
