Resurgence of the second COVID wave has dented sentiments and weakened FY22E earnings visibility. Management commentaries from the on-going 4QFY21 earnings season clearly indicate that demand would moderate, especially post the second half of April. Thus earnings downgrades are increasing vis-à-vis upgrades, said domestic brokerage Motilal Oswal in a note.

According to Binod Modi, Head Strategy at Reliance Securities, “Notwithstanding some adverse impact on economic activities for in 1Q-FY22, a sharp pickup in capital expenditures in current fiscal is still on the cards. Hence, earnings recovery in FY22E still remains promising. Therefore, any near-term possible correction in the market should be treated as opportunity of bargain trading. Investors must focus on quality stocks with robust earnings visibility and margins of safety.”
