So far in calendar year 2025 (CY25), the broader market has continued its upward march, with the benchmark Sensex gaining 3.9% and the BSE Largecap Index slightly outperforming it with a 4.5% rise. Many large-cap stocks have performed well, but a few have lagged behind. Market watchers note that such dips often attract investors looking to accumulate fundamentally strong large-caps at discounted levels. In fact, most of these stocks have a “Buy” rating according to Trendlyne Forecaster data.
As many as seven large-cap stocks have dropped over 25% since the start of the year, clearly showing that not all large-caps are performing well. Among the biggest losers, Trent has fallen 34%, while Varun Beverages is down 30%. These significant drops have occurred even as overall investor sentiment remains largely positive.
