The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 22 Jan 2021India’s major stock market indices, Sensex and Nifty, yesterday crossed, respectively, 50,000 and 14,700. Some will pop bottles of champagne, some worry where they will find themselves when the bubble eventually bursts. The price-to-earnings ratio for the Sensex is 34.42, meaning that to gain command over Re1 of earnings, you need to buy stock worth Rs 34.42.
That is steep. And the price-to-book ratio is 3.39. It is not unnatural for companies to be valued in excess of their book value. But this valuation, too, seems indulgent. Should investors stay put and celebrate or sober up and exit? It depends on their appetite for risk. Greed and panic drive the markets, it used to be said. Add central bank liquidity as a new driver of capital markets around the world.
