Only 15% of midcap stocks above 50-DMA: Is buying the dip getting riskier? JM Financial spots signs of leadership shift
JM Financial flagged a risk.
· Economic Times Markets, ET Stocks
JM Financial warns midcap and smallcap leadership may weaken as market breadth deteriorates sharply. Largecaps show early recovery signals, but investors should remain cautious. Nifty holding 22,000 could trigger a rebound; breaking below risks a fall towards 20,500.
The analysis
JM Financial reported movement of 15%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -4.3% on the day at ₹106.19, and has returned -10.8% over three months. It sits 38% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The capital markets sector has moved -6.6% over the same period, so JM Financial is running 4.2 points behind its peers.
For JM Financial, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the capital markets peer set alongside it.
Market context
