“Trends of the past 15 months suggest that growth stocks are making a comeback – indeed the market is detecting a new growth cycle and seems willing to back a nascent recovery in the performance of growth styles as a more sustainable outcome. We think this outperformance of growth over value (and quality) will continue in 2018,” writes Ridham Desai, head of India research and India equity strategist at Morgan Stanley in a co-authored report with Sheela Rathi.
The brokerage cautions that investors need to distinguish between growth and quality before taking an investment call. Even though there are stocks that straddle these categories, the former (growth) is change in return on capital; the latter (quality) is about the level of return on capital, Morgan Stanley says.
Over the long-run, the global research and brokerage house says, growth stocks have outperformed other types of stocks, as India remains a growth market. It also suggests how investors should play the GARP strategy.
