“The undertone of the market is mildly bullish. The principal bullish factor is the better-than-expected Q1 results. With the earnings season coming to an end this week, vast majority of companies have reported earnings growth that has beaten expectations,” said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments.
Further he added, “The resilient domestic demand will continue to support revenue and earnings growth in Q2, too. Particularly, the performance of banking and financial services, autos, pharmaceuticals, metals and digital platform companies will continue to be good despite the headwinds like deficient monsoons.”
