Hiren Ved, Director & CIO, Alchemy Capital, says the market has been in a corrective consolidation phase for a while now and it might continue for some time, but the biggest catalyst, more than anything else, could be the result season because once there is confidence that earnings can come back and growth can come back in Q4, the markets can get back to the races. Ved also says he continues to bet on the CDMO theme, platforms and tech and higher-end consumption this year. Markets are not in a marathon mode, they are not here, not there. Are we in for more of the same where we just stay in this range for an extended period of time? Hiren Ved: Yes, it very well could be because everybody wants to wait and see how the results pan out because we had a soft patch in the economy. We had a soft patch when it came to results in Q2 and also everybody is waiting for what Trump is going to do and then we also have the Budget.

Shibani Sircar Kurian, Senior EVP, Sr. Fund Manager & Head -Equity Research, Kotak Mahindra AMC, says larger IT stocks are fairly in line with market valuations and therefore, she continues to be positive on the sector as a whole. However, this quarter, one should watch out for commentary in terms of deal flow as well as expectations going forward. The rupee depreciation will help in terms of margins and therefore margins should remain largely stable. As far as auto stocks are concerned, commodity costs remaining under control are helping in terms of margins, but the main thing to watch out for will be volume growth over the next couple of months as such. Is it going to be ‘happy days’ for FMCG? Will staples finally bottom out or will pressure continue? Shibani Sircar Kurian: It has been a mixed bag as far as the consumer and staples pack goes. What we have been noticing and what management commentary over the last few quarters has been is that while the urban demand has been somewhat slowing down, there is an uptick that we are seeing on the rural side. Overall, it is still a fairly mixed bag in terms of growth. Even if you saw the last quarter numbers, the volume growth numbers were fairly muted.
