Lucky 7! Companies that jumped into large-cap category from midcap in last 6 months of 2018
AMFI, in consultation with SEBI and stock exchanges, came out with its half-yearly list of stocks, based on the data provided by Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India (MSEI). The list has highlighted seven companies that have entered the largecap segment.
According to AMFI, seven companies jumped from the mid-cap category into the large-cap category, based on listed companies’ average market capitalisation (cap) data in the six months ended December 31, 2018.
The list includes Indiabulls Ventures, Page Industries, Divi’s Laboratories, L&T Infotech, Berger Paints, United Breweries and GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare.
During July-December 2018 period, eight companies fell into the mid-cap category from largecap, 13 moved from small-cap category to mid-cap category; and 15 moved from mid to small-cap category.
Large-cap stocks which were the clear winners of 2018 are likely to remain on top of the list for investors in 2019 as well, suggest experts. Investors should use the opportunity to get into quality largecaps, they say.
“We continue to believe that largecaps is the space we should invest in currently with higher exposure as compared to mid and smallcaps. This largely given the undergoing risk mentioned in the near term even though valuations have corrected,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services told Moneycontrol.
“Currently, we are suggesting a mix of portfolio - with 82.5% for largecaps and 17.5% for mid & smallcaps, which can be increased in the future as risk subsides,” he said.
Nair further added that this portfolio can focus on stable domestic stories with leadership qualities in industries like consumption, IT, chemicals and export-oriented companies. Value buying stocks in Pharma, NBFCs, Cement & Infra should also be added.
Stocks which fell from large-cap category to mid-cap category include Bharat Electronics, Sun TV, Aditya Birla Capital, Hindustan Aeronautics, BHEL, Shriram Transport Finance, Bharat Forge, and TVS Motor Company.
