FIIs and Mutual Funds Increase Stakes in Select Midcap and Monopoly Stocks Amid Broader Selloff
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and mutual funds have increased stakes in select midcap and monopoly-like stocks during recent quarters, signaling confidence despite overall FII selloffs. Ten midcap stocks saw holdings rise alongside share prices by up to 65% over six months. Similarly, FIIs boosted ownership in three near-monopoly companies amid a broader FII withdrawal from Indian equities. Conversely, several other stocks experienced significant FII stake reductions in the first quarter, reflecting a mixed investment landscape.
