Market Outlook Amid Challenges
According to an analysis by Anand Rathi Research Team, despite facing near-term uncertainties, the overall economic fundamentals remain strong. The earnings trajectory is stable, and current stock valuations appear attractive for a positive long-term outlook. The Nifty50, for instance, trades at 17.2x one-year forward earnings, which is an 8.4% discount to its five-year median and a 15.6% discount to its ten-year median. This environment supports selective stock-picking, particularly favoring large-cap and mid-cap stocks over smaller firms.
However, the report notes that sectors such as autos, apparel retail, and consumer staples may underperform in the short term, while segments like jewelry retail, healthcare, and large-ticket consumer durables are expected to excel.

Mazumdar-Shaw described FY25 as a pivotal year of consolidation and transition: “Our entry into the GLP-1 therapy segment with the launch of Liraglutide in the UK marks an exciting new chapter. We are dedicated to innovation and operational excellence, solidifying our global market presence.”
