📈 Indian earnings recovery not fully priced in yet

Earnings recovery across sectors in India has started broadening, but the market isn't fully reflecting this upcycle yet. Hemant Kanawala of Kotak Life noted that large-caps trade at around 19.7 times estimated FY27 earnings, with Nifty profits expected to rise 17% to 18% in FY27. Key triggers include a stable West Asia conflict end, softer crude, and revival of private capex. Risks involve prolonged conflict and weak monsoon, while Q1 profits grew 17.7% versus ~10% expected. Investors should selectively favor financials and quality compounders amid market dispersion.

🌌 Stars survive black hole hits, but why are flares fading?

Stars can survive repeated close passes near supermassive black holes, creating repeating partial tidal disruption events (rpTDEs). This phenomenon was observed by astronomers tracking brightness changes in the sky. Of roughly 10 identified systems, four showed flares becoming progressively dimmer over time. Initial models failed to explain this fading, as less stripped material should cause weaker flares. New research suggests a rapidly spinning star before the first encounter is the key factor. 🌠
