- Reasons for heavy profit-booking in small- and mid-caps: Despite Sensex surging 3,727 points in just two days, small- and mid-caps faced selling pressure due to 1) elevated MTF positions, 2) mutual funds diverting funds to IPOs, OFS and QIPs amid a strong pipeline of fresh issues, limiting secondary-market support, and 3) HNIs booking profits in smaller stocks to shift towards large-caps, which analysts expect to outperform.
