Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have been bearish on the Indian stock market, reducing their holdings in 146 companies consistently over the past four quarters. This trend spans various sectors, with significant declines seen in stocks like Cohance Lifesciences, which has lost 70.55% of its value, and Reliance Infrastructure, down 68.83%. Despite this, some stocks, such as Shriram Finance, have surprisingly gained 49% during the same period, indicating that domestic investors may be stepping in to absorb the selling pressure. Analysts from OmniScience Capital suggest that the current market conditions may present a contrarian opportunity for long-term investors, especially as the Nifty 50 index remains flat while midcap and smallcap indices have shown modest gains. The outlook for banks and financial services remains positive, driven by strong earnings growth and healthy balance sheets, despite the FII selling trend. Looking ahead, easing geopolitical tensions and moderating inflation could potentially attract FIIs back into the market, with estimates suggesting a Nifty range of 28,000 to 31,000 by March 2027.
