     OUTLOOK

• With the spread of the pandemic and the lockdown during Q1 FY21, earnings for the year FY21 were sharply downgraded.

• However, the swifter than expected economic recovery led to a more robust Q2 FY21.

• Upgrades exceeded downgrades 3x, a rarity, after years of earnings disappointment.

• FY21 estimates, quickly rebounded from negative to positive territory, despite the Q1 debacle.

• The fall during Mar’20 lasted less than 35 trading days, erasing between 36-43% across the indices – Large, Mid and Small Caps. Supportive action from Central Banks was quicker.

• As investors searched for stable earnings, rotation from one sector to another, as exhibited from Apr-Dec’20 phase was evident.

• Staples after outperforming in Mar-Apr, have underperformed since then. Pharma and IT services outperformed during May-Sept; Banks/NBFC, after underperforming from Mar-Sept,20; outperformed during Oct-Dec’20.

• After the debacle of Mar’20, Small caps outshone the rest of the market – for the first time since CY17.

• If economic recovery is robust and RBI does not move aggressively into high real interest zone, Small caps could benefit the most.
