NEW DELHI: Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) seemed to have made a few bad decisions during the December quarter, which cost them some solid returns on a few stocks that climbed up to 60 per cent in the first two months of 2021 compared with a 6 per cent gain in the benchmark Sensex during the same period.
For this study, only those stocks were considered where FPIs pared stake by more than 100 basis points during the quarter. Among them is Greaves Cotton, which saw FPIs pare stake by 628 basis points to 5.01 per cent in December quarter from 11.29 per cent at the end of the September quarter. The stock has rallied 63 per cent in the past two months over December 31’s closing price of Rs 85.10 apiece.
