Lighthouse Canton says India earnings momentum strengthens as Nifty Q1 profit growth hits 18% YoY
  • Lighthouse Canton flagged a positive inflection in India, citing stronger macro data and an earnings beat despite Brent crude near USD 87-89/bbl.
  • Nifty profit growth rose 18% YoY in Q1 FY27, a 10-quarter high; 19 sectors beat estimates; upgrades outpaced downgrades 1.5x.
  • Credit growth accelerated to 18.6% YoY, with industry credit up 19.2% YoY; capital goods output rose 14.2% YoY.
  • The note said sustained double-digit earnings growth is the key trigger for a durable equity uptrend and a larger return of foreign inflows.
  • Rising developed-market bond yields could delay that re-engagement; the 30-year US Treasury yield touched 5.33% in August.
