😭 Why Nifty? WHY????
The Nifty 50 index has taken a nearly 3% nosedive from its high of 24,854.80 hit on July 19, thanks to a market selloff that’s got everyone’s nerves on edge.
But, there are a couple of other things that are adding to the woes:
👉 Valuations on Overdrive
The market’s on a wild ride, with valuations hitting turbo mode. The Nifty 50's price-to-earnings (PE) ratio is at 24.5, much higher than the expected 19.2. The price-to-book (PB) ratio is at 4, compared to the expected 3.2.
In short, the market might be getting too expensive.
👉 Q1 Earnings Miss the Mark
The Q1FY25 earnings report is pretty underwhelming. Even though there was a lot of buzz about a 24% earnings growth in FY24, the latest results are lackluster, leaving investors unsure if the market rally can keep going strong.
👉 No Fresh Buzz
Now that the elections and budget news are behind us, the market is feeling a bit stagnant. With no fresh news to get excited about, we might see some ups and downs in specific sectors and investors cashing in on their gains.
👉 Fed Rate Cut Drama
Moreover, the market’s biting its nails over what the US Fed will do next with interest rates. While there’s talk of cuts later this year, the Fed’s “we’ll see” approach is keeping everyone on edge and could shake up global investor vibes.
👟 Another Startup Idea for You!
Ah, who knew that the Indus Valley Civilization was just casually laying the groundwork for urban culture while also dabbling in the art of rudimentary footwear? Who wouldn’t want to spend their time creating the earliest evidence of sandals and shoes, right?
Fast forward to today, the athletic footwear market in Bharat is about to skyrocket, with a whopping $1.77 billion set to be raked in by 2024. And it doesn't end there: by 2028, the market is expected to increase at a remarkable rate of 5.23% annually, reaching a whopping 19.88 million pairs of sneakers.
And, in case you were wondering, in 2024 per capita revenue is expected to soar to a whopping $1.24.
But, why the Sneaker Surge?
The top 2 reasons are:
👉 Brands are getting money for the kicks (literally)
As more folks hit the sports field, they're splurging on top-notch gear, and that means the demand for performance footwear is kicking into high gear.
👉 The Rubber Revolution is just starting!
Rubber shoes are taking over the athletic scene. Why? Because they’re tough, grippy, water-resistant, and lightweight. Plus, they come with shock absorption, cushioning, and protection that makes them a no-brainer for anyone serious about their game.
So, get tonnes of rubber and start your business now!!
