Q4 earnings to buoy market sentiment this week: Analysts
Stock market sentiment this week would be largely guided by the ongoing fourth quarter results season, with a host of front-line companies slated to come out with their financial report cards, say analysts
New Delhi: Stock market sentiment this week would be largely guided by the ongoing fourth quarter results season, with a host of front-line companies slated to come out with their financial report cards, say analysts.
Besides, global crude oil movement, rupee and investment trend by overseas investors would keep influencing trading, they added. "In the near-term investors' focus will be on Q4 earnings and elections.
For the week ahead, results from key index heavy weights including large corporate banks will set the tone for earnings season.
"Continuity in FIIs flows and corporate earnings coming in-line with expectation will keep market afloat," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
Bourses may also witness bouts of volatility till clarity emerges on the political front post elections, experts added.
"Markets are expected to remain subdued and under pressure at least till the election season is over. However, volatility will continue to remain on the higher side as knee-jerk reactions are expected due to the ongoing results.
"The financial services industry will be on this week's radar as important results of companies such as Indiabulls Housing Finance, Yes Bank, M&M Financial, Axis Bank, SBI Life are going to be announced," said Jimeet Modi, Founder & CEO, SAMCO Securities & StockNote.
"After a period of significant momentum ahead of the general elections, the market may take a pause in some kind of an interim profit-booking," said Joseph Thomas-Head Research, Emkay Wealth Management.
The scenario of a slowdown in global growth as also the definitive prospects of higher fuel prices and a weaker currency may also be working on the minds of the market participants at this juncture, he added.
Among other major companies slated to announce their financial numbers this week are Maruti Suzuki India and Hero MotoCorp. Over the last week which had two market holidays, the Sensex rose 373.17 points, or 0.96 per cent.
On Monday, movement may be seen in index heavyweight Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank which announced their March quarter earnings over the extended weekend.
