Most market experts predict limited upside for benchmarks in the final two months of the year but remain optimistic about year-end targets, with 48% expecting the Nifty50 to close between 23,000 and 25,000. However, 39% anticipate a rise to 25,000-27,000, and 13% foresee levels above 27,000. Analysts highlight that corporate earnings growth will be vital for future returns amid current market valuations. They expect heightened volatility due to global factors and project an 11.8% earnings CAGR for Nifty50 companies from FY24 to FY26. Optimism for steady growth persists, with annual returns of 12-15% anticipated over the next decade.
