Valuation pressure: Indian equities remain priciest among peers; Nuvama flags high PE and PB ratios despite strong ROE

Despite recent market corrections, Indian equities are still among the priciest globally, with a PE ratio of 23.3, exceeding historical averages. While fundamentals remain strong, projected ROE for FY25 is 15.6%. India's dividend yield, however, is low at 1.2%, potentially limiting appeal for income investors. Nuvama cautions that high valuations and global volatility could restrain further market upside.
