ETMarkets Smart Talk | AI, defence, power: Investors need to be selective as valuations turn expensive, says Aditya Khemani

Aditya Khemani, Head of Equities at Invesco Mutual Fund, believes investors need to be particularly selective at this stage.

He cautions against confusing strong earnings momentum with business quality, especially when red flags such as weak cash flows or stretched valuations are overlooked.

While India’s growing domestic liquidity provides a cushion against sustained FII selling, Khemani says investors should remain focused on fundamentals, reasonable valuations and the long-term economics of businesses rather than simply following the latest market narrative.
