Motilal Oswal said Samvat 2083 has begun on a cautious note, with an external energy shock weighing on market sentiment despite the resilience of the domestic economy. The West Asia conflict has kept Brent crude prices above $100 per barrel, pushing CPI inflation to 5.54% in September and prompting a 25 basis points repo rate hike to 5.50%. However, Motilal Oswal expects FY27 to mark a return to double-digit earnings growth, with Nifty earnings per share (EPS) projected to rise 16% and 14% year-on-year in FY27 and FY28, respectively, compared with 5% growth in FY26.
