8 Large-Cap Stocks Likely to Lose Status in AMFI's H2 CY26 Rejig

Around eight large-cap stocks are likely to be downgraded to the midcap segment in AMFI’s semi-annual rejig for H2 CY26, according to Nuvama Institutional Equities. The shift is driven by a fall below the large-cap market-cap threshold, impacting their index classification.

This change may lead to reduced allocation from large-cap mutual funds as index-linked portfolios adjust their holdings. In the short term, passive fund rebalancing could trigger selling pressure, though the broader impact will depend on final AMFI confirmation and market conditions. Here are the stocks that may get a downgrade from Large Cap to Mid-cap.
