The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
Motilal Oswal released an outlook on Indian equities, projecting a 27% year-on-year earnings growth for the Nifty-50 in the second quarter of FY27. The firm also noted that HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank may face challenges sustaining loan growth without sacrificing margins as deposit costs increase.
Why it matters
The reports indicate that while the domestic economy is resilient and earnings are expected to rise, major Indian banks are under pressure on their net interest margins. This outlook is set against a backdrop of global uncertainty and continued foreign investor selling.
