SYNOPSIS:
From June to September 2025, five small- and mid-cap stocks witnessed simultaneous stake reductions by promoters, FIIs, and DIIs, reflecting a cautious market tone.
The September 2025 quarter saw a rare convergence of selling pressure from promoters, foreign investors, and domestic institutions in select small- and mid-cap names. This broad-based trimming of stakes might suggest a cautious shift in market sentiment, as investors turn selective amid stretched valuations and moderating earnings momentum.
Following are a few stocks that have witnessed a decline in promoters, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), and Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) from June 2025 to September 2025:
