Market Comment | Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

"The market inched higher in the second half, driven by positive openings in European markets. Concerns about global interest rates and elevated oil prices are being balanced by several domestic factors, such as promising economic growth prospects and the potential for strong earnings, which validate the premium valuation. The FMCG and Pharma sectors outperformed, with investors adopting a defensive approach to navigate global challenges. However, persistent outflows of foreign funds and rising US bond yields are expected to keep the broader indices in bleak terrain, in the near term."

Share Market Today LIVE | Housing finance segment looks robust; three stocks analysts are bullish on

The housing finance market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.58 per cent during the FY 2022–FY 2027 period, according to a report by MarketResearch.com. The report adds that increasing urbanisation and affordable mortgage rates are the two key factors propelling the growth of the market. In 2021, the affordable housing segment made up 90 per cent of the market in terms of volume and about 60 per cent based on value. Millennials and young borrowers (below 36 years), with high disposable incomes and an increased need for urban accommodation, are potential consumers for home loans. They account for 27 per cent of borrowers, the report says further. 

Given this scenario, it makes huge sense to invest in the housing finance segment, particularly in affordable housing finance companies (AFHCs), as it provides a strong growth runway due to lower competition given the customer profile (informal income and low ATS) and operation-intensive nature of the business. ATS stands for average ticket size. Read more
