#1028 Are Large Cap Stocks Becoming Too Cheap To Ignore? | Shripal Shah, Kotak Neo | Govindraj Ethiraj | The Core Report Weekend Edition
Large cap stocks are attracting renewed interest as falling prices and expectations of stronger earnings raise a question for Indian investors. Are India’s biggest listed companies becoming too cheap to ignore?In this episode of The Core Report Weekend Edition, financial journalist Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with Shripal Shah of Kotak Neo about large cap valuations, the Indian stock market and how investors are rethinking their portfolios.Shripal Shah says some investors are returning to large cap stocks following corrections in mid cap and small cap shares. Quality businesses at more reasonable valuations are drawing attention after sustained foreign portfolio investor selling.Citing Kotak Institutional Equities research, he outlines expectations of 17–18% earnings growth for Nifty 50 companies in FY2026–27, followed by approximately 15–16% the following year. He points to a forward price-to-earnings multiple of around 16 for the following year. The valuation case depends on those earnings expectations materialising.But finding value involves more than buying after prices fall. Shripal Shah argues that difficult markets have challenged expectations of easy profits and brought attention back to fundamentals, patience and long-term wealth creation.The conversation explores how investors move from experimenting with derivatives towards mutual funds, SIPs and investments linked to their financial goals. Shripal Shah explains why portfolio diversification across market caps, asset classes and geographies matters.Beyond equities, he discusses gold and silver ETFs, PMS, AIFs and global investing through GIFT City. He also makes the case for greater attention to debt, REITs and InvITs as portfolio options.India’s brokerage industry is changing alongside its customers. Shripal Shah examines the shift beyond derivatives towards wealth management and advisory services, the evolution of Kotak Neo, and why investors using digital platforms still seek human guidance.Could the next opportunity lie in large cap stocks that investors have been overlooking?Watch the full conversation for insights into Nifty 50 earnings, stock market valuations, portfolio diversification, retail investing and the changing business of stockbroking.Chapters:01:14 Introduction: Shripal Shah, Kotak Neo01:50 India's Shift From Savers to Investors04:01 Why Diversification Matters in Today's Markets05:36 How India's Brokerage Industry Is Changing07:04 Kotak's Shift From Traditional Broking to Digital09:03 Why Investors Want Both Technology and Human Advice11:29 Are Retail Investors Using Stock Market Research?12:34 Why Young Investors Are Starting With Derivatives14:00 How Investment Needs Change With Wealth15:40 PMS, AIFs and the Rise of Portfolio Investing17:20 Why Investors Are Returning to Large-Cap Stocks19:18 Gold, Silver and the Diversification Trade20:23 3 Crore New Accounts, but 50 Lakh Fewer Active Accounts21:54 Can Brokerages Move Beyond Derivatives?25:04 Why Human Advice Still Matters in Digital Trading26:49 India's Shift From Bank Deposits to Equities28:47 Global Investing and GIFT City Opportunities32:05 The Case for Debt, REITs and InvITs33:09 Why Kotak Securities Rebranded as Kotak NeoAre large cap stocks becoming too cheap to ignore?
