BofA cuts India's Nifty 50 earnings forecast as stagflation fears rise

BofA Securities has significantly lowered its earnings growth forecast for Nifty 50 companies to 8.5% for FY27, citing rising stagflation risks and potential impact of high crude oil prices. The brokerage also reduced India's GDP growth estimate and warned of a severe downturn in a worst-case scenario. Despite this, a resolution to the Iran conflict could boost the market.
