Q2 results declared so far indicate an uptrend in earnings growth. Net profits have grown by 10.8%, which is the best in the last six quarters. This is a beat over earlier estimates. The present trends in consumption indicate that earnings will further improve in Q3. Discretionary consumption, particularly automobiles, will lead earnings growth in Q3. Whether the present boom in consumption will continue even after the festival season is to be watched. 

A sustained uptrend in the market and new record highs have not been happening since FIIs continued selling on all rallies. A change in FII strategy is necessary for the market to break into new record highs and remain there. This, in turn, requires steady improvement in earnings growth, which is likely from Q3 onwards. If the global AI trade loses steam, that would be a helpful factor.
