What’s in the Price?: A Market, Sector and Stock Guide
: The recent fall in Indian equities is arguably due to  Key Debate •
fears that growth in India is likely to surprise on the downside.
Indeed, some investors are debating India’s mid- to long-term growth
story, i.e., it is not sustainable due to India’s inability to contain
inflation. What’s now in the price and is this attractive enough for
investors to consider buying equities?
: Our  The market is implying an equity risk premium of 6.2% •
residual income model indicates that implied equity risk premium is
at 6.2%. At the current long bond yield, this implies a long term return
of 14.3%. We think investors are receiving a reasonable risk
premium for buying Indian equities. Put another way, the market is
assigning 59% of the MSCI Index value to future growth. This is just
 year average and puts equities in a  slightly more than the trailing five
positive light for long-term investors.

Thus, for most sectors, (Consumer Staples, Healthcare, Technology,

lower when we use the consensus estimates for the next three years.

growth. This model has a two stage process. We first compute the EPS growth that
the market is discounting (g(mkt)) using the Gordon’s Growth Model. We then
compute the EPS growth that the sector or stock is discounting by using the following
identity:
PE (Sector or Stock)/PE for mkt = ((1+g(sector/stock))^5)/(1 + g(mkt)))^5)
We use the F2013 PE for both the sector/stock and the market given that we have
explicit forecasts the next two years for both Morgan Stanley and the consensus.
Thus the model gives us the growth embedded in the stock or sector for the ensuing
five years.

multiples converge to the market multiple beyond five years. This penalizes growth
sectors but is largely balanced out by the assumption that all sectors have a beta of
one (which flatters growth sectors).
