Stock market outlook: Experts see Nifty 50 at 26K peak despite unlikely recovery in the near-term
India Inc.'s Q4 FY25 earnings season was broadly in line with Street expectations, reflecting subdued growth and offering limited optimism for a near-term recovery. Companies in the BSE-500 index posted a 8.7% year-on-year (YoY) increase in net profit, while the Nifty 50 companies reported a more modest 3.7% growth in net income. The fourth quarter was marked by modest operating performance across most sectors and muted commentary from company managements. This suggests that a strong revival in credit, consumption, or investment demand is unlikely in the immediate future. According to Kotak Institutional Equities, the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of Nifty 50 companies grew by 9.2% YoY in Q4. For the full fiscal year 2025, net income and EBITDA of the Nifty 50 rose by 6.4% and 4.5%, respectively. The Nifty 50 is currently trading at 20.2 times one-year forward price-to-earnings ratio (PER), slightly below its five-year average of 21.7x. This positions the market in a relatively neutral valuation zone. 'Markets could see a phase of consolidation in the near term, as the percentage of BSE200 stocks trading above +1 standard deviation from their long-term average has increased significantly — from 10.6% to 30.3%,' said Seshadri Sen, Head of Research and Strategist at Emkay Global Financial Services. He added that while near-term global and geopolitical concerns have largely played out, a constructive trade agreement with the US could offer support. Emkay Global has maintained its Nifty 50 target of 26,000 for March 31, 2026, based on a long-term average PER of 20x on FY27 estimated EPS of 1,304. Meanwhile, Kotak Institutional Equities highlighted the Indian equity market's current dilemma — caught between high valuations, domestic growth challenges, and global macroeconomic headwinds on one side, and the hopes of an eventual recovery in economic and earnings growth on the other. 'We observe stretched valuations across most sectors and stocks—barring BFSI and a few exceptions — against a backdrop of weak volume growth and increasing disruption risks,' Kotak said in a note. Seshadri Sen remains constructive on the broader markets. While concerns around reciprocal tariffs have largely eased, he expects investor attention to shift toward the progress on bilateral trade agreements. 'We forecast Nifty EPS growth of around 12–13% in FY26. Green shoots of recovery in discretionary consumption may emerge as the impact of monetary easing becomes more pronounced. The market witnessed a V-shaped rally following the tariff pause, and we expect the beta rally to continue. Any meaningful correction should be considered a buying opportunity,' Sen said. He views current Nifty 50 levels as fundamentally justified, with scope for further upside as the earnings cycle begins to inflect. Supportive monetary policy — characterized by rate cuts, liquidity support, and relaxed lending norms — provides additional comfort. Emkay Global maintains its overweight stance on the Discretionary, Technology, and Telecom sectors, reflecting confidence in their growth potential amid an evolving macroeconomic landscape.

Global Marketing Professional Asmita Jason Launches Instagram Growth Services for Indian SMEs
VMPL Kolhapur (Maharashtra) [India], June 2: After working with over 1,000+ global coaches and selling 3,000+ digital products through her own marketing platforms, entrepreneur Asmita Jason Bardeskar is expanding her focus back to Indian businesses -- with a mission to make them seen. Through her company, The Launch Boosters, Asmita is now offering strategic Instagram marketing services tailored to India's local service-based businesses. "So many amazing entrepreneurs are thriving offline but invisible online," she says. "I'm here to change that." Asmita's journey began in 2019, shortly after moving cities post-marriage and facing limited job opportunities in mechanical engineering, her original field. Undeterred, she sold a gold bangle gifted at her wedding to invest in her first online course. That investment would change everything. Within a month of signing her first Instagram client for Rs8,000, she crossed Rs1 lakh in revenue, all from home -- a pivotal moment that set her on a new entrepreneurial path. Over the years, she built not just a business, but a reputation. As a speaker at more than 20 global summits, Asmita became known for her practical, low-fluff approach to visibility and marketing. She managed to scale her own brand while raising two children and running a remote team -- a reality that now informs the supportive, structured systems she designs for other business owners. Asmita currently serves as the Business Manager for a 7-figure USD coaching brand, where she oversees content, systems, strategy, and operations. Simultaneously, she has run her own coaching business, with clients from around the world. Now, she's intentionally shifting focus back to the Indian market, launching a dedicated arm of her business that offers done-for-you Instagram marketing services tailored for Indian entrepreneurs. The decision is strategic and timely. According to Google India, over 90% of consumers look up local businesses online before making a purchasing decision. Yet, the MSME Ministry reports that fewer than 20% of India's 63 million small and medium enterprises are using social media effectively. This gap is precisely where Asmita sees an opportunity to make a difference. Asmita's approach is rooted in what she calls "strategy-first content." She emphasizes that visibility doesn't have to mean going viral, it means being seen by the right people consistently and authentically. Her work supports local businesses like preschools, wellness professionals, beauty brands, and boutique owners -- the kinds of businesses that are excellent offline, but often overlooked online. By bringing together deep knowledge of the Instagram algorithm, proven international strategies, and a lived understanding of Indian business culture, Asmita is offering more than just social media services. She's offering transformation for businesses that have the potential to thrive online but just haven't had the right support, until now. Her story is not just about business success, it focuses on alignment, resilience, and coming home with a mission.

Bawankule Pushes for Quality Audit By VNIT Of All ZP Works
Nagpur: To improve the standard of development work in rural areas, guardian minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule announced that a quality control policy will soon be implemented for projects under the zilla parishad. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking at a review meeting on Monday, Bawankule emphasised strict enforcement to ensure accountability and better use of govt funds. Over the past five years, the zilla parishad has spent over Rs1,000 crore on various development projects in Nagpur district. These include infrastructure such as roads, school classrooms, and sanitation facilities. However, concerns were repeatedly raised about substandard work and the use of low-quality materials. Minister of state for finance and agriculture Ashish Jaiswal also criticised the poor condition of govt buildings, pointing out that despite budget allocations, their quality often does not reflect the investment. "The quality work can't be seen in the completed structures," he said, calling for immediate corrective measures. A major point of contention was the use of paver blocks in road construction in rural areas. Bawankule expressed dissatisfaction with the widespread use of old paver blocks and ordered that no new roads be constructed using them. Instead, he recommended roads be built to the standard of those in Ramtek. In a significant move, Bawankule directed that all development work carried out over the past three years be audited by a third party — VNIT (Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology) — to assess quality and identify gaps. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He further instructed that future funds be prioritised for essential sectors such as healthcare, education, sanitation, and clean drinking water. Local representatives were asked to decide funding priorities based on community trust and necessity, ensuring development projects genuinely serve public interest.
