Midcap Meltdown: 14 stocks crash up to 50% in just 3 months. Is your portfolio at risk?
Over the last three months, the Indian equity market has shifted decisively. The Sensex slipped 2.5%, but the real damage lies below the surface. The BSE Midcap Index fell nearly 4%, yet that headline masks a much deeper churn: 103 of 144 midcap stocks delivered negative returns, meaning over two-thirds of the space has been under pressure.The intensity of the correction is stark. Fourteen midcap stocks have plunged 20% to 50% in just three months—sharp, sentiment-shaking declines that have wiped out sizable investor wealth in little time. Most now trade well below their 52-week highs, underscoring a clear shift in market mood. (Data Source: ACE Equity) Midcap Slide
