Worst Samvat in 15 years! Sensex, Nifty crash up to 8%: Can investors expect a bull run in Samvat 2083? What experts say

BSE is in focus in a quarterly results development.

· LiveMint Markets

Indian equities enter Samvat 2083 after their weakest Samvat performance in 15 years, with the Sensex and Nifty down nearly 8%. Analysts see earnings growth, more attractive valuations and resilient domestic investment as potential supports, but warn that global uncertainty may persist.

BSE reported movement of 8%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

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.

  • Earnings versus expectations is what actually re-rates a stock; the surprise matters more than the absolute number.
  • With BSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
  • A market-wide development: it reaches beyond any single stock.
