Amnish Aggarwal, Head — Research, Prabhudas Lilladher, says ITC will retain a 40% stake in ITC Hotels, potentially reducing its sum of the parts (SOTP) valuation by Rs 15-17 post the latter’s listing. This makes the ITC Hotels listing a positive for shareholders. Three key events for ITC are: the demerger of ITC Hotels, a possible interim dividend in mid-February, and the upcoming Budget, which may affect duties. If excise duties remain unchanged in February, the stock could see double-digit returns, with a potential gain of around Rs 20 per share from the ITC Hotels listing. How is the year ahead going to pan out? Is it going to be as happy as the first half of 2024 or not quite? Amnish Aggarwal: In the next couple of months, I expect the markets to remain slightly volatile because the first factor to watch out for is Donald Trump summing reins as the US president. The second key factor to watch out for will be the Budget on 1st of February and then obviously the earning season is ahead of us. So, the next couple of months could be volatile but as we progress through the year, I expect the markets to not only stabilise but give double-digit returns in the coming year.

Mayuresh Joshi, Head Equity, Marketsmith India, says expect a lot of fireworks this year and markets are expected to remain volatile, at least in the first quarter of the next calendar year with Trump assuming US reins, soft earnings so far and the Budget at the beginning of February. But if earnings show signs of improvement as we head into Q4 and Q1 of the next financial year, we might see some respite going forward but the first quarter is going to be very volatile as far as the markets are concerned. Joshi also says that the power theme stands out in 2025. The entire ecosystem of power generators, power transmitters, EPC players, and financiers would continue doing well if the big picture argument of power for the next five years continues and the capital spend on power probably continues. What is the year ahead looking like? Is it anything close to a party or is it going to be a more sombre year? Mayuresh Joshi: It will be a party with a lot of fireworks to be honest. You never know what is going to happen. When Trump resumes office, the kind of tweets that you are initially seeing come through, what he probably imposes in terms of tariffs or otherwise, he is going to keep markets on their toes. But all the rhetoric might probably keep markets on track.

However, even before the excitement could settle, the Opposition suffered stunning defeats in Haryana and Maharashtra — key battlegrounds they had hoped to win to consolidate their LS poll performance.
