56: Will 2021 see more earnings upgrades?

All Things Markets

India Inc. is expected to stay on the earnings growth path supported by the festive season and a revival in economic activity from the sluggishness when the country faced tighter pandemic-related curbs. The profit bounce in most companies is also likely to be driven by aggressive cost cuts and the lag effect of lower input prices.
So, are corporate earnings which have been depressed for many years showing reasonably strong growth? Or, are we entering into an earnings upgrade cycle which will drive markets going forward. To discuss that I am joined by Mahesh Patil, Co-Chief Investment Officer, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC.
