Nifty 50 EPS may rise at CAGR of 5-6% over next two years: Analysts
Business Standard
|May 14, 2025
The Nifty 50 underlying EPS has grown at an annualised rate of 21.1 per cent in the last 51 months beginning March 2021.
-
As a result, it more than doubled during the period, growing from ₹503 at the end of March 2021 to ₹1,071 now.
The index EPS tracks the combined net profits of 50 listed companies that are part of the index on a trailing 12-month basis.
It is calculated by dividing the index's "end of the day" value with its reported "price-to-earnings" multiple for the day.
The Nifty 50 ended Tuesday's trading session with a trailing price-to-earnings multiple of 22.94 and a closing index value of 24,578.35 according to the data from Bloomberg.
The index EPS trajectory is likely to change a bit by the end of this month because only 33 of the 50 index companies have reported their quarterly results for Q4FY25 till the end of May 12, 2025.
