MTAR, Sammaan Capital: Strategies for 3 stocks with high retail holdings
Source: Business Standard
The DIIs, mainly mutual funds, have so far pumped in Rs 3.14 trillion (Rs in lakh crore) in Indian stocks riding on steady inflows from retail investors, by way of SIPs (Systematic Investment Plan).
As a result, the BSE Sensex thus far in 2024 has gained 12.8 per cent, despite a 1 per cent decline in trades today. The NSE Nifty 50 index holds a stronger 14.7 per cent surge at 24,900-odd levels.
However, amid this market boom select stocks continue to underperform, and thus create a dent in investors’ portfolios.
Here are 3 such stocks, wherein retail shareholders holding stands in the range of 37 – 45 per cent, and have underperformed significantly on the bourses so far this calendar year.
The shareholding pattern of Sammaan Capital, formerly known as Indiabulls Housing Finance, as of June 2024 quarter, shows that retail investors hold up to 45.53 per cent equity in the firm. Of which, 34.16 per cent are small investors with investments up to Rs 2 lakh. Meanwhile, the stock has delivered a near 16 per cent loss on the bourses thus far.
Can these stocks recover the lost ground, or will they continue to remain a thorn in retail investors’ portfolios. Here’s what the charts suggest:
