Jefferies forecasts the Nifty50 index to climb to 24,000 by 2024 due to reasonable valuations in the Indian stock market.
2
Attractive valuation
Jefferies analyst Mahesh Nandurkar said, "Nifty is now 20x 1-year forward - higher than the past 10-year average, but relative to EM (ex-China) the premium at 67% is only somewhat higher than the historical average."
3
High on bank stocks
The brokerage firm has upped its focus on bank stocks and included Adani Ports in its portfolio.
4
Top picks
Top picks are major banks (Axis, ICICI), real estate developers (Lodha, Godrej Properties), power (Coal India, JSW Energy), two-wheelers (TVS, Eicher), telecom (Bharti Airtel), and capital goods (Adani Ports, Kajaria).
5
Foreign inflows expected
Jefferies anticipates increased foreign inflows this year due to factors like a peaking US Dollar, Lok Sabha elections, and India's growing importance in global markets.
