Nifty valuations near post-Covid lows. Alchemy Capital’s Alok Agarwal explains what investors should buy now
A institutional flows development with market-wide reach.
· Economic Times Markets
Nifty valuations have reset sharply from 2024 levels and are now near post-Covid lows, says Alchemy Capital’s Alok Agarwal. He sees the next phase of market growth broadening beyond large caps. Mid- and small-caps, AI infrastructure, healthcare, manufacturing and select defence companies offer opportunities, while global yields and FPI flows remain key.
The analysis
This is an Index / institutional flows event. Passive and institutional flows move price independently of fundamentals, and around rebalancing dates they dominate it.
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
