“Given the market multiples, another 10% correction cannot be ruled out. However, the adjustment due to the election results is now complete,” says Hitesh Jain, Lead Analyst at Yes Securities.

Historically, post elections, markets have performed well over 6-12 months, which is depicted in the table below:



NDA forming a coalition government was not the most favorable outcome the stock market had hoped for and in this new scenario, a lower valuation multiple is necessary to account for coalition government risks and their impact on the reform trajectory.

Despite the recent adjustments, the domestic brokerage states that it does not believe this marks the end of the bull market

“This is not the time to pay high premiums for stocks or to buy solely based on the hope of future reforms,” Jain added.

Historical market trends, continuity of PM Modi’s regime, productive government expenditure, FII investments and market corrections are among other reasons that present an encouraging picture for the Indian equity markets.
