The Nifty-50 has experienced its lowest earnings growth in 17 quarters during the second quarter of FY25. Since September, the benchmark indices have declined by nearly nine percent from their respective 52-week highs.
Motilal Oswal suggests that the recent correction and lower valuations create a buying opportunity for certain stocks. They have identified ten companies as "winners" for their strong performance during the muted earnings season. These companies include State Bank of India, Larsen & Toubro, Mahindra & Mahindra, Sun Pharma, Indian Hotels, Page Industries, IPCA Labs, Angel One, Amber Enterprises, and Atul.
On the other hand, five companies have been labeled as "laggards" based on their Q2 earnings results: Tata Motors, Asian Paints, Avenue Supermarts, ABB India, and IndusInd Bank.
