Any further upmove in the market has to be driven by earnings and not multiple expansion: Ashutosh Bhargava

"When we think of local market or even global markets, what we are very sure about is that any further upmove in the market has to be driven by earnings and not multiple expansion. We don't think there is a case for multiple expansion in most market barring one or two markets like China etc. In our market, the best phase of outperformance versus other market is probably behind," says Ashutosh Bhargava, Fund Manager and Head of Equity Research at Nippon India Mutual Fund. "The only good part for market is that when we think of earning risk, we find a lot of risk to global earnings. But the kind of construct that we have for our market, I think the earning risk is much lesser in our market versus many other markets. So earnings would be the focus, multiple expansion is broadly unlikely and in that sense, India, perhaps would perform in-line with most of the markets and not underperform despite the very sharp outperformance over the last one to one and a half years."

Top picks in FMCG space are HUL, Britannia, Dabur, Nestle: Abneesh Roy

"Our top picks currently will be Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL), Britannia Industries, Dabur India and Nestle. We also like Asian Paints, but for Asian Paints, quarter three demand would be a bit weak, nothing's structural. That's because of the short window, post the rainfall and the festive season and the very high base which Asian Paints sees in quarter three," says Abneesh Roy of Nuvama Wealth Management.

Top pick in the IT Index would be TCS: Sudeep Shah

"Our top pick in the IT Index would be TCS. This stock is at a seven-month high and it is sustaining above its 200-DMA for over 6-7 sessions now. Last couple of days we have seen a good price action backed by volumes and the prior swing resistance of Rs 3,428 which was created in June has also been taken out. We feel that this stock can go upto Rs 3,580-3,600 in the next few sessions and can be bought with Rs 3,420 stop loss," says Sudeep Shah, Head-Technical & Derivatives Research at SBI Securities.
