    Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have reduced their holdings in around 45 large-cap stocks over two consecutive quarters — March 2025 and June 2025. About 24 of these stocks have delivered negative returns so far in calendar year 2025. Among them, 12 key underperformers stand out, with share prices plunging between 10% and 50% during the same period. (Data Source: ACE Equity)

    While tracking where FIIs are investing is often seen as a smart strategy, it is equally important to observe where they are pulling out. FIIs typically rely on deep research and macro insights, so their decision to cut stakes in certain stocks can be a strong signal worth monitoring — whether as a warning sign or an indication of potential trend shifts.
