Indian corporate profits are currently strong, reflecting robust earnings across various sectors. However, rising input costs pose a significant challenge that could lead to margin pressures in the near future. According to market expert Dharmesh Kant, sectors such as defence, affordable housing finance, and healthcare are expected to provide relative stability amid these challenges. Telecom company Bharti Airtel is noted as a key player in the sector. Meanwhile, the real estate sector faces headwinds, with the exception of the affordable housing segment which continues to show resilience. Investors are advised to remain patient and selective as the market navigates these divergent trends.
