ICICI Securities Report

Nifty 50 trailing earnings per share for December 2019 (pre-Covid-19) stood at approximately 475 compared to the earnings five years prior of ~435 during Dec-2014.

However, in Dec-2014, the street expected the Nifty 50 index to compound earnings at a compound annual growth rate of ~21% over the next two years to ~611.
