Banking Sector Earnings Outlook

Welcome to our weekly newsletter, where we bring you the latest insights and trends from the world of finance. This week, our focus is on the upcoming quarterly earnings season, with particular emphasis on the banking sector. It appears that listed firms are poised to deliver another impressive set of numbers, although the pace of growth may vary across sectors.

Similarly, the CMIE Core index, which excludes food, fuel, light, and fuel for vehicles, fell from 6.2% in March to 5.9% in April, but went up month-on-month from 0.27% to 0.58%, indicating that companies still have pricing power. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) numbers indicate that disinflation h...
