Investor sentiment often strengthens when a stock is widely held across multiple mutual fund (MF) schemes — a sign of perceived stability and long-term potential. But even these popular names aren’t immune to sharp corrections.
As of August 2025, 232 stocks were held by over 100 mutual fund schemes. Yet nearly 100 of them have delivered negative returns in CY25. ETMarkets’ analysis highlights 12 such stocks that have plunged 25–50% this year — a reminder that even heavily owned stocks aren’t guaranteed winners. Diversification and vigilance remain key.
