India ETF Trails Peers — Why 2026 Could Be Its Comeback Year

The iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA) has under‑performed other emerging‑market exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) in 2025, delivering only modest, low‑single-digit gains — significantly lagging its EM peers. That said, there are growing reasons to believe 2026 could be the year INDA rebounds. First, macro conditions appear more favorable: Emerging markets broadly may benefit from a weakening U.S. dollar, potential rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, and easing global economic pressures. Second, in India, continued domestic economic growth and improving corporate earnings — supported by robust fundamentals — could give INDA’s holdings a lift. Finally, relative valuations may also make INDA more attractive to investors seeking exposure to emerging markets at a discount compared to U.S. equities or other regions. If these conditions line up — macro tailwinds, strong India fundamentals, and favorable valuations — 2026 could mark a turning point for INDA. #IndiaETF #EmergingMarkets #INDA #Investing2026 #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
