Sensex, Nifty End 2025 Higher; 2026 Outlook Tied to Earnings, Policy and Inflation Trajectory
December 27, 2025, 3:57 AM EST. Indian equities wrapped 2025 with gains, as the Nifty 50 rose about 10.2% and the Sensex climbed up to 8%. As 2026 begins, the market faces a shift from liquidity-led gains to earnings delivery, policy coherence, and macro stability. Inflation remains below the RBI target but is expected to rise from January, with the RBI signaling further rate cuts. The brokerage Axis Direct notes an inflexion in corporate earnings, with FY26-27 estimates for 12-15% YoY growth. GDP growth for H1FY27 is seen at around 6.7-6.8%, aided by resilient demand and reforms. A weaker rupee adds near-term inflation risk but may benefit exporters. The core drivers remain financials, consumption, and capital-intensive sectors, underpinning a potential cyclical recovery in 2026.

December 27, 2025, 3:56 AM EST. 2025 was a mixed year for Indian equities, but the backdrop improves into 2026. The Nifty 50 rose about 10% for the year, while the Sensex gained as much as 8%, aided by a shift from pure domestic liquidity to earnings-led returns. Inflation remains below the RBI's 4% target, allowing room for policy easing after a 25 basis-point rate cut last week; CPI is seen edging higher from January, averaging around 2.9% in the March quarter. Analysts expect a cyclical earnings pickup, with consensus forecasters projecting 12%-15% YoY earnings growth in FY26-27, driving the Nifty higher. GDP momentum remains robust at H1FY27 6.7-6.8%, and the RBI has nudged up growth projections. The rupee's weakness weighs near term but may aid exporters in the medium term.

Don't Buy Lumen Technologies Stock Until Reality Backs Up the Hype
December 27, 2025, 3:34 AM EST. Investors should let Lumen Technologies show its path rather than chase headlines. Lumen Technologies has surged on AI-related hype and deals with Microsoft and Alphabet, with management calling it the backbone of the AI economy. Yet the financial reality paints a different picture. The company carries more than $17.5 billion in long-term debt, roughly double its $7.9 billion market cap, and, despite refinancing, expects over $1 billion in annual interest. In Q3, Lumen reported a $621 million loss on $3.08 billion in revenue, highlighting cash burn. Management has signaled that revenue growth may not resume until 2028, long after the company pivoted from its legacy business. Until Lumen demonstrates sustained profitability and meaningful debt reduction, the hype may outpace reality for investors.

December 27, 2025, 3:18 AM EST. Powell warned that U.S. equities look fairly expensive, a view echoed by other policymakers who flag stretched valuations and the risk of a disorderly correction.

H.C. Wainwright Reiterates Buy on Rezolve AI with $10 Target Amid Undervalued Growth
December 27, 2025, 2:47 AM EST. H.C. Wainwright reiterated a Buy on Rezolve AI PLC (NASDAQ:RZLV) with a $10 target, arguing the stock remains undervalued given an accelerating growth story.

Retail Investors Fuel India's IPO Boom in 2025
December 27, 2025, 2:39 AM EST.

An additional ₹38,000 crore flowed through mutual funds, buoyed by record SIP inflows, underscoring a broad lift in individual risk appetite. Industry voices say the trend reflects growing financial capacity and longer horizons, aided by a regulatory framework that guarantees a dedicated retail quota in IPOs and a capped, lottery-like allotment mechanism, which lowers downside risk. Globally, Indian retail participation stands out versus the US and Europe, with primary-market activity fueled by access to high-growth names despite some foreign fund outflows from secondary markets.

The structure keeps downside risk in check, making IPOs resemble a low-risk lottery for many participants.
