The share of profits in GDP or profit margin seem to be<br />

putting in a trough and could be entering a new mediumterm<br />

cycle, which could last for five years and result in<br />

strong profit growth.<br />

Like with profit margins, ROEs also seem to be putting in a<br />

bottom and preparing for a new up cycle. Asset turn has<br />

already risen.<br />

Valuations appear to be mid-cycle compared to<br />

fundamentals, which seem to be coming out of a cycle<br />

trough. We prefer to use PB as a valuation metric versus PE<br />

given how depressed earnings are relative to trend.<br />

Valuations could head either way in the short run<br />

depending on factors other than fundamentals such as<br />

India's election outcome and global events.<br />
