Nifty shifting orbits …
Nifty currently trades at a PE of ~32x (based on FY20 EPS) and at a PE of
~38x on Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) basis, thereby helping build the public
opinion that the broader markets are highly euphoric and running ahead of
fundamentals. We however dispel this notion, as we logically derive that
present absolute PE multiples make little sense especially when we had a blip
in corporate earnings in the recent past due to the Covid pandemic and are
staging an impressive earnings CAGR (24%+ over FY21-23E) ahead of us.
Our key focal points:
(i) Nifty constituents have undergone major change in past decade. The
weights of capital efficient sectors such as FMCG, Financials (private
banks), IT and Pharma have increased from 29% in March 2009 to 70% in
December 2020.
(ii) These sectors command higher PE multiples as markets prefer Earnings
visibility and consistency
(iii) Better performing business segments within existing companies is not
captured by current PE. Companies like L&T, SBI etc. have multiple
business lines and hence SoTP (Sum of the parts) based valuations of
these names are not captured by the PE ratio alone.

• Historically, small caps have bounced
back strongly from every year of
negative/low returns.
• In recent times, CY20 performance (up
21%) came on the back of two years of
double-digit decline i.e. -29% in CY18 and
-10% in CY19.
• There remains significant headroom for
continued recovery in the small cap
space
• Interestingly small cap’s are yet to
generate meaningful alpha over their
larger counterparts namely Nifty 50 and
Nifty Midcap
As against an average long period beta of ~0.7x of
Nifty Small Cap 100 vs. Nifty 50, the present small
cap index beta stands at ~0.5x i.e. near to average-2
std dev; near to its bottom range. The same is
indicative of potential outperformance of Small caps
vis-à-vis bellwether index

value)

Small-caps provide strong earnings visibility at reasonable
valuations
Low interest rate scenario is a key tailwind to overall equities
(TINA factor). Within equities, small caps offer superior earnings
potential, with FY21E-23E CAGR seen at ~27%. This compares
to ~24% CAGR seen at large caps and ~19% CAGR seen at mid
caps
Consequent to relative price underperformance recently and
higher expected earnings up ahead, valuations for small caps vis-
a-vis narrower indices are at attractive levels (~14x P/E on FY23E
EPS). This provides margin of safety on small caps.

  • 3. ICICI Securities – Retail Equity Research MOMENTUM PICK February 17, 2021 ICICI Securities Ltd. | Retail Equity Research 3 Nifty shifting orbits … Nifty currently trades at a PE of ~32x (based on FY20 EPS) and at a PE of ~38x on Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) basis, thereby helping build the public opinion that the broader markets are highly euphoric and running ahead of fundamentals. We however dispel this notion, as we logically derive that present absolute PE multiples make little sense especially when we had a blip in corporate earnings in the recent past due to the Covid pandemic and are staging an impressive earnings CAGR (24%+ over FY21-23E) ahead of us. Our key focal points: (i) Nifty constituents have undergone major change in past decade. The weights of capital efficient sectors such as FMCG, Financials (private banks), IT and Pharma have increased from 29% in March 2009 to 70% in December 2020. (ii) These sectors command higher PE multiples as markets prefer Earnings visibility and consistency (iii) Better performing business segments within existing companies is not captured by current PE. Companies like L&T, SBI etc. have multiple business lines and hence SoTP (Sum of the parts) based valuations of these names are not captured by the PE ratio alone.
