Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC expects the Nifty 50 to deliver a 14-17% return in FY27, driven by a sharp revival in corporate earnings. The benchmark has already risen 7% in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, after returning negative 4% in FY26. The fund house forecasts top 1,000 listed companies will report earnings of Rs 21 lakh crore in FY27, up 11% from Rs 19 lakh crore in FY26. Separately, an analysis by Abakkus Mutual Fund shows the Nifty 50 needs an 8% gain to reclaim its January 2026 peak of 26,329. The Nifty Midcap 150 is just 0.14% away from its record level, while the Nifty Smallcap 250 requires a 3.92% recovery. Mid-cap and small-cap indices have historically taken longer to recover from deep corrections than the large-cap index.
