Note:
Each drawdown phase is identified when the Nifty 50 index experiences a decline of 10% or more from its previous all-time high. This phase is considered complete once a
new all-time high is reached. For consistency, we have maintained a fixed reference point for both the previous all-time high and the subsequent new all-time high dates. Based
on this framework, we have analyzed the maximum drawdown and the subsequent recovery from the lows for the
Nifty 50, Nifty Mid-Cap, and Small-Cap indices,
respectively.

Real GDP growth projected at 6.5% in FY25
Real GDP grew 6.2% in 3QFY25, better than MOFSL forecast of 5.7% and in line with the consensus of 6.2%.
The improvement in real GDP growth was mainly led by the six-quarter highest growth in final consumption expenditure (7.1% in 3QFY25
vs. 5.3%/5.6% in 3QFY24/2QFY25). Both private and government consumption witnessed an improvement during the quarter. Additionally,
real net exports added 2.5pp to real GDP growth in 3QFY25 (the highest contribution in seven quarters).
Nominal GDP growth was 9.9% in 3QFY25, lower than 12.9% in 3QFY24 but better than 8.3% in 2QFY25.

INR had its best run
during the CY03-07 global
bull run, when GDP
growth and corporate
earnings growth were
high and the twin deficits
– CAD and FD – were
among the lowest in two
decades.
Eurozone crisis, taper tantrum, and
devaluation of RMB – the taper tantrum
episode in CY13 drove the INR down
sharply to 68 from 55 in just four
months. This was a period of high
inflation and INR depreciation.
Low inflation has characterized
the period post-CY15. INR has
been relatively less volatile
despite several global
headwinds. Forex reverses are
surging.
The pandemic impact and geopolitical
tensions led to global volatility, high
liquidity, followed by quantitative
tightening, sharp currency
depreciation, but a resilient economy.

Key reports from MOFSL’s research desk in Feb’25
Earnings review – A modest 3QFY25; Earnings downgrade ratio worst since 1QFY21!
Report link>>
The aggregate earnings of MOFSL universe companies were in line with our estimates and increased 6% YoY. Earnings for
Nifty 50 rose 5% YoY.
The aggregate performance was hit by global commodities (i.e. Metals and O&G). Excluding the same, the MOFSL universe
and Nifty posted 10% and 7% earnings growth, respectively.
The MOFSL universe delivered a 2.3% YoY earnings growth in 9MFY25. Excluding Metals and O&G, it reported an 11.8% YoY
earnings growth.
The earnings upgrade/downgrade ratio of 0.3x was the worst since 1QFY21.
The MOFSL universe is likely to deliver sales/EBITDA/PAT growth of 7%/15%/19% YoY in FY26, mainly led by Financials, Oil &
Gas, and Metals.
Logistics: Anchoring solutions | Navigating success
Report link>>
The Indian ports sector is poised for significant growth. Between FY23 and FY28, the country’s ports are projected to add
500-550MTPA of capacity annually, driven by increased handling of petroleum, oil, lubricants, coal, and containerized cargo.
Cargo traffic is expected to grow at a steady annual rate of 3-6%, stabilizing utilization levels at ~55% over the medium term.
Container traffic growth is anticipated to report an annual growth rate of 4-7% over the next five years. Transshipment,
which accounts for roughly 25% of India’s container throughput, continues to be a crucial segment, with ports like Chennai
playing a significant role.
While the industry growth rate is expected to be 4-7% over the next five years, both APSEZ and JSWINFRA are poised for
sustained growth of 2-3x the industry, supported by continued organic and inorganic expansions and integrated logistics
solutions. Both these companies are likely to gain market shares.
We reiterate our BUY rating on APSEZ and JSWINFRA. JSWINFRA is our top pick in the ports domain.
