“Good companies with stable fundamentals of corporate growth, backed by great managements, are expected to grow by 15-20% annually, while cyclical companies such as agri-commodities or stock brokerages will remain volatile,” Oswal said. He expects the manufacturing sector, led by automobiles, white goods to have a higher teen growth and FMCG to have higher single-digit growth. Export-oriented sectors such as technology and pharma, on the back of sharp rupee depreciation, will be in limelight, he said, adding, companies with less volatility will attract higher price multiples.
