Adani Ports, Cipla, Trent and 25 other Nifty 50 companies beat Q4 net profit estimates. Do you own any?
Q4 earnings review: The March quarter earnings brought much-needed relief to the Indian stock market, as corporate performance beat Street estimates, led by OMCs, PSU banks, automobiles, healthcare, technology, and capital goods, easing valuation concerns to some extent. This recovery in performance, after three consecutive quarters of subdued growth, was largely driven by lower input costs and moderating inflation, which supported operational profitability. Although the net profit growth for Nifty 50 companies remained in the single digits — marking the fourth consecutive quarter of such growth since the pandemic (June 2020) — it still exceeded analysts' projections. Adjusted net profits of the Nifty 50 index rose 3.7% year-on-year, coming in 3.8% above Kotak Institutional Equities' expectations. Similarly, adjusted net profits of the BSE Sensex increased 3.6% year-on-year, which was 5.3% above KIE's expectation of a 1.6% year-on-year decline. While the reported net income of the Nifty 50 index rose 2.4% year-on-year and 4.8% quarter-on-quarter. Several companies, including Asian Paints, Bharti Airtel, Tata Steel, Dr. Reddy's, and Sun Pharma, reported extraordinary items in Q4FY25. According to Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE), among the Nifty-50 stocks, 28 companies significantly outperformed their net income estimates in Q4FY25. These include Adani Ports, where the beat was driven by strong performance across both port operations and marine/logistics businesses. Cipla delivered better-than-expected results, supported by strong traction in the US, One Africa, and EM/EU regions. Coal India reported higher other income, contributing to its outperformance. The brokerage further said that Dr. Reddy's also benefitted from higher other income, primarily led by forex gains. Eicher Motors outperformed due to increased other income, while SBI reported a strong beat on the back of robust non-interest income. Tata Steel and Tech Mahindra both posted higher other income and benefited from lower-than-expected effective tax rates. Titan also exceeded the brokerage estimates owing to higher-than-expected revenues, and Trent outperformed due to strong other income. On the other hand, companies that underperformed KIE's net income estimates include Asian Paints, which showed weakness across all metrics; Grasim, impacted by a weaker-than-expected performance in its chemicals and VSF businesses; and IndusInd Bank, which reported higher-than-expected losses after recognizing several discrepancies in income and expenses from previous years, leading to a large reversal of past income. Tata Motors also fell short of estimates, primarily due to lower-than-expected profitability in its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business. At the EBITDA level, companies that exceeded KIE's expectations were M&M, driven by stronger-than-expected sales and gross margins; Nestle, which reported a solid gross margin print and lower other expenses; and Titan, which again benefited from higher-than-expected sales. However, some Nifty-50 companies underperformed at the EBITDA level. These included Asian Paints, which continued to show weakness across the board; Coal India, affected by weak volume and realizations; and Dr. Reddy's, which was weighed down by lower gross margins and higher staff costs. Further, Grasim, again reflecting pressure in the chemicals and VSF segments, and Maruti Suzuki, where a bunching up of certain expenses impacted performance, according to the brokerage.

Russia-Ukraine war escalation: Impact on the Indian stock market
'Operation Spider's Web' has been the top trending topic around the world over the last two days… …and for good reason. This is the name given to a military operation by Ukraine to attack deep inside Russia using drones smuggled into the country. The losses suffered by Russia—long-range strategic aircraft—have been estimated by Ukraine to be $7 billion, a truly colossal amount. The event, dubbed 'Russia's Pearl Harbour' by many online, is a major escalation in the ongoing war. This has raised fears of a Russian counter-escalation. At the time of writing, Russia hadn't responded with an attack that would be considered such a counter-escalation. Also Read: Analysts and investors have soured on Asian Paints. Can it prove them wrong? But it seems likely. This, in turn, has spooked financial markets. So, what could be the impact on the Indian stock market? Read on… Flight to safety: The big fear in the market is that Russia could retaliate with nuclear weapons. This seems unlikely, but no one knows how the war could continue from this point. If something big and unexpected happens, there will be a knee-jerk reaction in the market. We can expect a 'flight to safety' by foreign investors as they sell stocks in emerging markets and move their funds into US bonds. This is known as a 'risk off' trade because FIIs do not want to be very active in emerging markets like India during such a risky situation. This will result in a decline in the benchmark indices—Nifty and Sensex—and possibly even bigger declines in the broader market of mid-caps and small-caps. However, in this scenario, share prices of fundamentally strong companies will fall less than the market. We saw this happening in the 2025 market correction. How should investors respond to such a market correction? The first thing you should know about market corrections is that the market will always recover. Short-term corrections are part of every bull market. No stock market in the world goes up in a straight line…and never will. It's said that bull markets climb a 'wall of worry'. The current situation in Ukraine is just one of those 'worries'. The most sophisticated investors and the ones with the biggest pockets, always try to factor in worst-case scenarios. They do this to protect their wealth but also to take advantage of any short-term opportunities the market provides. A market correction due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine will be one such opportunity. The smart money will use this opportunity to buy high-quality stocks at reasonable valuations during the correction. This is why these stocks will fall lees than the rest of the market. Also Read: These five private banks in India have the lowest NPAs. Should you invest? You should be doing the same. Keep a watchlist ready of fundamentally strong stocks that you would like to own for the long term. Buy them during the correction if it happens. If the correction does not happen, then there is no harm in waiting. Just ensure your watchlist is up to date and you are ready to act when the correction does arrive. This has been our consistent message at Equitymaster. Those who have followed it have done very well for themselves. Focus on creating long-term wealth Would you like to consistently take advantage of market corrections, especially the sharp ones due to war or other external factors? This is what the smart money does to create long-term wealth. You can do it too. At Equitymaster, we suggest the following… Identify your circle of competence, i.e., sectors and themes you understand and are excited about in terms of growth. Study as much as you can about all the stocks in your circle of competence. Buy the shortlisted stocks when they become undervalued in a correction. Hold on and consider buying more on dips. Also, the size of the circle of competence does not matter; the depth of your understanding does. Is this process easy? Yes and no. Yes, because anyone can do it. Anyone can read annual reports of companies to understand a sector. Anyone can learn the basics of fundamentals and valuations. No, because there is work involved. It takes time to create wealth after all. You will need to put in the necessary effort. And you will need patience. You can get started by checking out Equitymaster's stock screener for fundamentally strong stocks in India, consistent compounding stocks and best long-term stocks in India. Conclusion Don't get scared out of the market for any reason, including the possibility of wars or a dangerous escalation of an ongoing war. Time in the market is more important than timing the market. Also Read: This small-cap has already gained 1,000%. Can AI fuel its next leap? Stay invested so as to not hurt your wealth creation journey. Remember, there will always be something or the other to worry about in the stock market. But as long as you have purchased high-quality stocks at reasonable valuations, you don't have to worry about your portfolio during a correction. Happy Investing.
