Headwinds of high FPI exposure, but good for long term: 6 stocks the financial services sector with an upside potential of up to 25 %
One of the most intriguing aspects of presenting the return performance of stocks, or any asset class for that matter, is how a slight adjustment in the calculation date can dramatically alter the perception, making the glass appear either half full or half empty. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the case of financial service stocks. Recently, these stocks have often been portrayed as underperformers. However, this overlooks the fact that over the long term, they have provided substantial returns and generated significant wealth. The short-term underperformance of these stocks can be attributed to their heavy ownership by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI). As FPIs have been net sellers in Indian equities, financial service stocks have faced selling pressure. Nevertheless, the relative decline in stock prices is considerably less severe than in previous instances of similar selling activity. Given the robust fundamentals of these stocks compared to a few years ago, it is prudent to view them from a long-term investment perspective.
