  • Morgan Stanley's Ridham Desai Predicts Sensex at 95,000 by Dec 2026 Amid Bull Market Signal
    April 9, 2026, 6:01 AM EDT. Morgan Stanley strategist Ridham Desai forecasts the Sensex could reach 95,000 by December 2026, marking a 22% gain from the current level of 77,563. This target reflects a valuation at 23.5 times trailing earnings, slightly above the historical average of 22 times. The firm highlights India's nearly worst 12-month relative stock performance in history but notes a potential market recovery driven by stable macroeconomic factors, earnings growth, and steady policy environment. Key growth drivers include fiscal discipline, private investment, and robust domestic demand. The bull scenario sees the index soaring to 107,000 on stronger growth and lower oil prices, while risks such as high crude prices and a potential US recession could drag it down to 76,000. Overall, Indian equities appear undervalued and positioned for a rebound according to Morgan Stanley.
