The Indian stock market’s exuberant run continues, defying global headwinds and painting the town red.
However, amidst the celebratory mood, veteran analyst Dipan Mehta has injected a note of caution, urging investors to tread carefully and safeguard their profits in this leap year.
Mehta, in a recent interview, warned that the current bull run, while seemingly unstoppable, may not be without its bumps.
He pointed to the possibility of a correction, particularly in some high-flying stocks that have delivered multibagger returns over the past four quarters.
“These stocks have climbed rapidly, fueled by optimism and momentum,” Mehta explained. “But their fundamentals may not be able to sustain such a steep ascent forever. A correction is inevitable at some point, and it could be quite sharp.”
Mehta’s advice resonates with concerns raised by other market experts. While acknowledging the robust economic outlook and positive investor sentiment, they highlight potential risks like inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical tensions that could trigger volatility.

- Diversify your portfolio: Spread your investments across different sectors and asset classes to mitigate risk.
- Maintain a long-term perspective: Don’t panic if the market corrects in the short term. Focus on your long-term investment goals and make adjustments to your portfolio as needed.
