India<\/span> has remained a steady ship in choppy waters says DSP Asset Managers in the May 2024<\/span> edition of its report #DSP7Sees<\/a> which highlights compelling historical and contemporary facts shaping the Indian market. The report mentions that while most global economies have seen a slowdown in their manufacturing sector or services, or both over the past 12 months, India<\/span> has seen a consistent growth in economic output and business sentiment. This consistency is probably the first evidence suggesting that India’s<\/span> economic and businesses cycle can withstand global turbulence of manageable magnitude.<\/p>\n

The report highlights the sharp contrast between how India<\/span> and China<\/span> have performed for investors. Since 2007, China<\/span>delivered the fastest pace of GDP and per capita income growth that the world has ever seen. However, it has delivered little for investors. Meanwhile, India<\/span> has been one of the best performing markets globally, across periods thanks to Indian corporations delivering earnings growth. The report highlights that investors have perhaps erred by putting copious amount of funds in other countries while largely ignoring India’s<\/span> profitable corporate dynamics.<\/p>\n

Over the past 30 years, China<\/span>, with a CAGR of 14%, stands as the sole nation to have surpassed India’s<\/span> 8% Gross Fixed Capital Formation growth. Fueled by cheap domestic credit, Chinese growth contrasts with India<\/span> in one aspect: Indian growth has come with higher return on equity. India<\/span> has come out of an investment winter. The investment to GDP ratio (measured as gross fixed capital formation to GDP) peaked in 2011 and remained low until the COVID-led disruption upended the supply chains. Post COVID recovery and a large push through government expenditure, investments are making a comeback. Over the last seven and a half decades, $14trn<\/span> has been spent on investments since independence. India<\/span> has spent $8trn<\/span> on new investments over the last 10 years.<\/p>\n

The steady pace of earnings growth and a favorable businesses cycle has ensured that Indian stocks are well bid and are relative outperformers. This also means that Indian stocks aren’t the cheapest. Among large emerging and frontier markets, Indian equites are among the pricier regions. DSP says that it’s difficult to say if India<\/span> will continue its performance, thus commanding such high multiples.<\/p>\n

DSP feels that Indian lenders, both banking and non-banking financial companies can deliver a better investment experience. The all-time low NNPA ratio for Banks is a source of comfort. The high Provision Coverage Ratio suggests a better ability to absorb potential losses. Other factors include continuation in asset quality & relatively higher increase in credit as compared to deposit, translating into a higher Credit-Deposit Ratio.<\/p>\n

“Valuations respecting investors need to dial down their return expectations. Lower entry valuations are the best defense for investors seeking to invest in India<\/span> for the long haul,” said\u00a0Sahil Kapoor<\/span>, Market Strategist & Head of products, DSP Asset Managers<\/b>.<\/p>\n
