Expert view: See Nifty at 26,300 by March 2026; overweight on BFSI, telecom, says Neeraj Chadawar of Axis Securities

Expert view: Neeraj Chadawar, the head of fundamental and quantitative research at Axis Securities, forecasts Nifty to deliver quarterly revenue, EBITDA and PAT growth of 3.9 per cent, 3.9 per cent and 3 per cent YoY, respectively, in Q1FY26. Talking to Mint, Chadawar emphasised that markets will largely be earnings-driven in FY26, with a meaningful earnings uptick in the second half of the year. He also shared his views on sectors he is positive about, the impact of the trade war and his Nifty target. Here are edited excerpts of the interview: The Q1FY26 earnings season has been marked with interesting events such as (i)geopolitical tension, (ii) volatility in crude prices, (iii) interest rate cuts, (iv) unseasonal rainfall, (v) supply chain disruptions, and (vi) improving liquidity. These developments indicate that the Q1FY26 earnings season is expected to exhibit a mix trend, similar to the patterns observed in previous quarters, though some breather is expected due to sequential improvement in a few high-frequency indicators. However, the broader consumption demand could still take one or two quarters to get back on track. Most of the earnings-related concerns are now behind us. While the intensity of downgrades is likely to slow down from here onwards, the market is one or two quarters away from the potential upgrades. Most of the meaningful actions are likely to be seen in the second half of the financial year (H2FY26), linked with the potential uptick in the economic momentum. Overall, earnings improvement is expected in certain sectors, such as telecom, financials, materials, oil and gas, and industrials, while auto OEM (original equipment manufacturer), utilities, and metals will continue to face some pressure. Based on our consensus estimates, we forecast Nifty to deliver quarterly revenue, EBITDA and PAT growth of 3.9 per cent, 3.9 per cent and 3 per cent YoY, respectively. Moreover, excluding Tata Motors, Nifty PAT is expected to grow by 4.3 per cent YoY. The Indian economy is well-positioned. Despite external risks, India's domestic growth trajectory remains intact, with key macroeconomic factors supporting a stronger FY26 compared to FY25. Both the RBI and the government are providing support to the Indian economy through pro-growth policy measures. While macroeconomic risk will continue to drive the market direction for another couple of months, the majority of the negatives related to trade uncertainty are behind us. The ongoing earnings season is critical for the market direction going forward, and the management commentaries and guidance will be crucial. We expect near-term consolidation in the market, with breadth likely remaining narrow in the immediate term. If trade-related uncertainty eases further and no major negative surprises in Q1FY26 earnings emerge, the market is likely to make a new high in the upcoming earnings season. The trajectory for FY26 would largely be earnings driven, with a meaningful earnings uptick in H2FY26. So, on an immediate basis, it will be a stock pickers market, and an uptick in economic momentum could lead to a broad-based recovery in the second half. FY26 is expected to present a more constructive environment for foreign flows compared to FY25, driven by improving domestic fundamentals in terms of earnings expectations and proactive policy measures. Most of the earnings-related concerns are factored in FY25, and the FY26 earnings prospects have improved significantly. The intensity of downgrades is likely to slow down further from here onwards, driven by the RBI's liquidity support, including a CRR cut, the interest rate cut of 100 bps, supporting credit growth recovery, corporate earnings in FY26, and a consumption-oriented Union Budget. That said, global macro risks continue to warrant close attention. While India remains relatively better placed among emerging markets, foreign investors are likely to take a calibrated approach, balancing optimism around India's structural story with caution around global headwinds. FY25 was a challenging year for the domestic economy, led by a slowdown in government capex, higher inflation and interest rates, slower credit growth, and moderation in urban consumption. These factors impacted the overall domestic consumption, leading to earnings moderation. A series of measures undertaken by the government and the RBI since December 2024 indicate a likely pick-up in economic activities in H2FY26. The overall consumption theme has not delivered a meaningful return in the last couple of years, and the chances to bounce back from H2FY26 onwards are high. In this regard, the progress of a well-distributed monsoon is key, and the upcoming festival season (Ganesh Chaturthi) will set the tone for future consumption trends. Currently, all the major export-oriented sectors are in a wait-and-watch mode. We continue to maintain our underweight stance on the IT sector. We foresee a slowdown in overall IT spending in the US market, and a probable delay in discretionary spending may pose a downgrade risk in the upcoming quarters. Hence, the ongoing earnings season is crucial, and we continue to monitor management commentaries and the guidance for the remaining FY26. While macroeconomic uncertainty has reduced significantly in the last three months, we are not out of the woods yet. Hence, meaningful developments related to the global economy's uptick need to be keenly watched as they are key trigger points for the export demand uptick. The market continues to remain watchful for these developments. In the current environment, our focus remains on growth at a reasonable price, 'quality' stocks, monopolies, market leaders in their respective domains, and domestically-focused sectors and stocks. These, we believe, may outperform the market in the near term. Based on the current developments, we (i) continue to like and overweight BFSI, telecom, consumption, hospitals, and interest-rate proxies, (ii) continue to maintain a positive view in selected retail consumption and FMCG play based on the recovery expectations in FY26, and (iii) prefer certain capex-oriented plays that look attractive at this point in light of the recent price correction as well as reasonable growth visibility in the domestic market in FY26. Based on the current development, we present three scenarios for the Nifty 50 by March 2026: (i) Bull case: Nifty target of 27,600 by March 2026, valued at 21 times, assuming a Goldilocks scenario and private capex boost. (ii) Base case: Nifty target of 26,300 by March 2026, valued at 20 times on March 2027 earnings. (Recently, we upgraded our base case multiple to 20 times from 19 times earlier to factor in the favourable addition of high PE stocks in the index, in which Jio Financial and Eternal have replaced Britannia and BPCL.) (iii) Bear case: Nifty target of 22,300 by March 2026, valued at 17 times, assuming policy shifts, inflation challenges, and recession risks. Most of the positives are already in price at the index level. Hence, the market performance will largely be driven by earnings growth going forward. On an immediate basis, it will be a stock pickers market, where bottom-up stock picking with a focus on quality, market share, margins, and earnings growth will play a meaningful role in alpha generation. Once we progress towards FY26, more sectors will join the rally based on the revival expectation of domestic economic momentum. We suggest a well-diversified approach with the right combination of defensive, interest rate-sensitive and cyclical sectors. In the current environment, we favour three themes: quality, growth at a reasonable price, and the earnings recovery theme to generate satisfactory returns in the next 12-18 months.

Devdutt Padikkal's net worth in 2025: IPL salaries, endorsement deals, and off-field earnings

Devdutt Padikkal is proving there's more than one way to win in cricket. While others flash their lifestyle online, he's focused on staying consistent, both with the bat and the bank balance. At just 25, the Kerala-born southpaw has already become one of the highest earners among his generation, thanks to a strong IPL (Indian Premier League) presence and a growing list of brand endorsements. With every season, his value continues to climb, even when injury kept him off the field in key games. IPL windfalls and domestic domination Padikkal's rise in Indian cricket has been closely tied to the IPL. Between 2022 and 2023, he earned Rs 7.75 crore a season with Rajasthan Royals and then Lucknow Super Giants. In 2024, RCB brought him back at the same price. This year, though, they retained him at Rs 2 crore—a notable dip, but still a solid figure. In the 2025 IPL, he put up 247 runs in 10 games with a sharp strike rate of 150.61. A hamstring injury kept him out of the final, but it didn't stop his stock from climbing elsewhere. At the 2025 Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 auction, Padikkal became the most expensive player on the list. Hubli Tigers picked him up for Rs 13.20 lakh, more than any other cricketer in the event. Today, his total IPL earnings come to over Rs 25 crore, per Mint. Endorsements and lifestyle: Low-key, high value When it comes to brand deals, Padikkal is not short on offers. He has teamed up with Puma, Vivo, Eatfit, and SS, brands that know his market appeal. These deals add a significant chunk to his income without overexposing his image. His personal life is surprisingly grounded. He lives in a well-kept home in Edappal, Kerala, and drives a Toyota Fortuner and Kia Seltos—both smart, practical picks. No sports cars. No designer collections. And no high-end shopping sprees making headlines. Padikkal keeps his finances tight. Little is known about his investments, as he prefers to stay quiet about where his money goes. Per MyKhel, Devdutt Padikkal's estimated net worth, as of 2025, is between Rs 19 and Rs 22 crore.
