Midcap stocks drop 10% from highs, head for correction as growth outlook sours

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1]
A blistering rally in mid-cap stocks is on course to enter correction territory, as investors become increasingly concerned over slowing earnings growth and elevated valuations.

The Nifty Midcap 100 tumbled as much as 2.9% Friday, extending its drop from recent high to more than 10% — the parameter for a so-called technical correction. Heavy selling by foreign portfolio managers this month fueled the downturn in the index, which had rallied about 30% through September 23.


The rapid change in fortunes for Indian stocks came as a rally in Chinese shares gathered steam, following a central bank stimulus blitz in late September that sparked a frenzy of buying. Slowing earnings growth in India also weighed on sentiment.

While foreign investors have soured on local shares, domestic institutions have poured in billions to absorb their selling.

Global funds have sold stocks worth nearly $9 billion in October so far, reducing the annual inflows to $2 billion. Buying from Indian funds and insurance companies has topped a record $50 billion, helping the mid-cap stocks still show gains of more than 19% for the year.

“There was, and is, very little margin of safety in the valuations,” said Sanjeev Prasad, co-head of institutional equities at Kotak Securities Ltd. in a note this week. “There is no change in our cautious view despite the recent correction in the market,” he said.

India VIX jumps 100% in one month. Could fear levels take Nifty further down?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Volatility in Indian equity markets has surged sharply over the past month, with the India VIX nearly doubling as geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty triggered aggressive selling in equities. India VIX, often referred to as the market’s fear gauge, has jumped close to 100% over the past month, reflecting growing nervousness among investors.

The escalation of tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran has intensified market anxiety in recent days, pushing crude oil prices sharply higher and triggering a global risk-off sentiment. However, analysts note that volatility had already been building even before the conflict escalated, reflecting broader concerns around global growth, foreign capital outflows and stretched valuations in equities. The heightened uncertainty translated into a sharp ...

Can Sensex, Nifty snap 2-day fall on Monday? 7 factors that could decide market mood this week

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended the week on a bearish note, closing over a percent lower each as a deepening selloff in IT stocks rattled investor sentiment amid mounting fears of AI-led disruption. Further, stronger-than-expected jobs data for January dampened hopes of a US Fed interest rate cut. Here are 7 factors that could decide market action in the coming week: 1.) Infosys, Wipro ADRs rebound - After a brutal two-day selloff that saw Infosys and Wipro ADRs plunge as much as 14.5%, Friday’s session brought a much-needed breather. Bargain hunting kicked in at lower levels, sparking a sharp rebound as Infosys climbed 3% while Wipro gained 4%—helping both stocks close the week on a far stronger note. International brokerage firm JP Morgan has a message for panic-stricken investors: IT services firms are the indispensable "plumbers of the tech world" and their dividend yields have now hit levels last seen only during ...
