Nomura pegs Nifty 50 target for 2026-end at 29,300: What could drive the index? Explained

Global brokerage firm Nomura has turned optimistic on Indian equities for 2026, setting a year-end Nifty target of 29,300—about 12% higher than current levels. The projection is based on valuing the index at 21 times estimated December 2027 earnings, while also accounting for a possible 3% downside to the prevailing consensus earnings forecasts. Nomura anticipates that Indian equities will trade at 20–22 times one-year forward earnings, provided risk premiums stay subdued.

Key Highlights

  • The firm had eased its valuation worries back in May 2025, after markets steadied in the aftermath of global tariff-related tensions.
  • Saion Mukherjee of Nomura said in the note that the optimistic view stems from a blend of easing geopolitical tensions, steady macro fundamentals, and a cyclical rebound in economic activity and corporate profitability.
  • Additionally, policies focused on boosting domestic growth, enhancing self-reliance, and driving structural reforms are likely to further strengthen overall market confidence.
  • "We further expect policies to support domestic growth with a focus on self-reliance and efforts that seek to address structural issues," Mukherjee said.
  • Meanwhile, domestic inflows remain strong and valuations are high, reducing the influence of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in recent months.
