India's Stock Market Faces Low FII Ownership Amid Mixed Large- and Midcap Performance
India's stock market has seen subdued performance recently, with the Nifty 50 delivering near-zero returns over two years amid foreign institutional investors (FIIs) reducing stakes in large-cap stocks to two-decade lows. However, midcap stocks have outperformed, supported by domestic inflows and sectoral strengths. Analysts and brokers, including Morgan Stanley, foresee potential market rallies driven by improving earnings, macroeconomic stability, and easing geopolitical risks, while cautioning on factors like valuations, IPO volumes, and monsoon variability.
