FUNDVIEW - India bull says earnings re-ratings in sight


Indian corporate earnings growth could bounce to 20 percent this fiscal year, wrong-footing
many analysts who will have to revise estimates upwards, one fund manager told Reuters on
Wednesday.
Bramaprakash Singh, who manages the $20 million Beacon India Alpha Equity fund for
Dubai-based Baer Capital Partners, said many analysts are forecasting earnings for the year to
March 2010 ranging from a fall of 4 percent to a rise of 4 percent.
"Investors need to ask what stock market levels local money can sustain when foreign money
leaves. In the last four or five cycles, markets have formed a bottom around a price-earnings ratio
of nine or 10," Singh said, noting the market is not far off those levels now.
