Stock market: A market expert says that the valuation of the market looks a bit expensive at the moment. After the continuous rally, the indices have reached an all-time high.
But he also believes that the environment full of strong earnings growth, order book, and capacity expansion possibilities still makes the Indian stock market attractive. However, FIIs are cautious due to uncertainty about interest rate cuts in Western countries.
After the results of the first quarter of FY 2025, he said that the recent reforms in the defense sector have made it a very attractive sector. In the same way, the telecom industry remains at the top of his list of options.
Prefers New-age Internet-based Companies And The Theme Of Digitization
The market expert, who has more than 15 years of experience in equity and capital markets, says that he likes new-age internet-based companies and the theme of digitization.
But he also said that he still avoids investing in these companies due to their expensive valuations. These companies do not fit into the Green Portfolio fundamental philosophy.
