The market breadth in October 2025 marked a notable improvement from September’s 61-39 split, continuing a rebound trend after a period of narrow leadership. This positive trend reflects a broader recovery in the mid-cap segment, indicating a growing investor confidence in these mid-sized companies.
Real Estate was the best-performing sector in the latest month, achieving a weighted return of 13.27%. This was driven by the robust performance of stocks like Godrej Properties Limited, Prestige Estates Projects Limited, and Oberoi Realty Limited. Conversely, the Healthcare sector was the worst performer, with key drags from companies like Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited and Mankind Pharma Limited.
Over the past year, the top performers were led by L&T Finance Ltd, One97 Communications Limited, and BSE Limited, with returns of 88.24%, 71.72%, and 67.07% respectively. These stocks were primarily from the Financial Services and Technology sectors, highlighting the resilience and growth potential in these areas.
On the other hand, the bottom performers over the past year included Ola Electric Mobility Limited, Tube Investments of India Limited, and Sona BLW Precision Forgings Limited, with returns of -38.01%, -32.47%, and -30.6% respectively. These companies, primarily from the Consumer Cyclical sector, faced significant challenges that impacted their performance.
As of the end of last month, nearly 34 stocks were more than 20% away from their 52-week highs. Only 18 stocks were within 10% of their 52-week highs, with AU Small Finance Bank, Federal Bank, and IDFC First Bank being the closest. This indicates a mixed performance across the mid-cap segment, with some stocks nearing their peaks while others lag behind.
Overall, the positive performance of the Nifty Midcap 100 index in October 2025, driven by the Real Estate sector and a strong market breadth, suggests a promising outlook for mid-cap investors.
