  • BofA Cuts Nifty FY27 Earnings Growth Estimate to 8.5%, Markets Not Yet in Value Zone
    April 11, 2026, 8:54 AM EDT. BofA Securities has lowered its Nifty earnings growth forecast for fiscal year 2027 to 8.5% year-on-year, down from 11% in early March and 14% pre-conflict. The downgrade reflects ongoing geopolitical tensions and rising commodity prices, which could cause a "margin shock" and "growth shock" via higher inflation and delayed investments. Despite recent corrections, BofA states that Indian markets remain near long-term average (LTA) valuations and are not in a deep value zone. The brokerage sees limited upside, suggesting a 15% gain if global conditions improve but warns of an 8% downside risk if conflicts worsen. It advises a defensive, selective investment approach favoring sectors like energy security, banking, premium consumption, defense, telecom, healthcare, and upstream energy, while cautioning against rate-sensitive, mass consumption, real estate, and airline sectors.
