Foreign Investors Sell $26 Billion in Indian Large Caps

Global brokerage Bernstein reported that foreign portfolio investors have sold $1.7 billion of Indian equities in September 2023, leading to a total of nearly $26 billion sold this year, the highest on record. The Nifty 50 index, representing large caps, has declined over 10% since January 2023. Bernstein noted that many large corporates are struggling to adapt to new technologies, limiting their growth potential and deterring foreign investment. Investors may want to pay attention to the performance of mid-cap and small-cap companies, which have shown stronger earnings growth of 31% for the June quarter compared to 11% for Nifty 50 companies (NSE:NIFTY).
