The verdict is a big and positive surprise for the market, in our view, and could herald a strong and stable government, UBS said in India markets strategy report here.
"We remain bullish on Indian equities as markets may continue to trade above fair value. Markets have moved up sharply over the past few months, but is still trading at 15.2x one-year forward PE, very close to its 5-year mean.
"We have talked about Nifty fair value of 6900 based on 15x PE and 15 per cent earnings growth expectation in FY15 and Nifty touching 7,800 at 15 per cent earnings growth for FY15. We believe investors will be willing to give a premium for growth hope and also look beyond FY15 earnings estimates," the report said.
There may be upside to this target based on how policy-making evolves over next few months, which could flow through to earnings estimates and multiples higher than average. On the other hand, a big part of the index does not benefit from the possible economic recovery in IT and pharma or less in staples and global commodities.
"We think sector rotation towards domestic cyclicals should be a strategy investors should continue to pursue, as positioning also remains supportive," it said.
