MFs' mcap baskets set for reshuffle; Largecap, midcap cut offs to decline
Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi) revises the largecap, midcap and smallcap stock list in January and July every year.
The half-yearly reclassification is crucial for mcap-based schemes like largecap, midcap and smallcap to remain true-to-the-label by aligning their portfolios according to the category mandate.
According to an analysis of mcap data of the first half of 2025 (as of June 16), as many as 11 midcap stocks, including the likes of Indian Hotels, Max Healthcare, Mazagon Dock and Shree Cement, are likely to earn the 'largecap' tag during the next reclassification.
The midcap universe may see 12 new entrants, including KPR Mill, Cholamandalam Financial, Godfrey Phillips, and Multi Commodity Exchange.
In the reclassification, 100 stocks with the highest average mcap in the previous six months are tagged largecaps. The next 150 stocks are midcaps. The remaining are classified as smallcaps.
The changes, especially in the largecap space, are expected to be the highest in recent years, given the volatility in 2025 so far.
Correction in the initial months of the year also means a reversal in the post-Covid trend of midcap cut off.
The mcap cut off to qualify as a midcap company is expected to come down for the first time in nine such exercises in the last four and a half years.
The cut off this time is expected to be around ₹29,000 crore compared to ₹33,221 crore in January 2025.
Similarly, in the largecap space, the cut off is likely to come down from ₹1 trillion to ₹90,000 crore.
In the post-Covid period, the cut offs had grown multi-fold due to a rally in stock prices.
The growing cut offs had even led to calls for expansion of the largecap and midcap universes.
Amfi will release the revised list in the first week of July.
The new entries in the largecap space are likely to come in place of Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL), Hero MotoCorp, Indian Overseas Bank, Cummins India, Swiggy, Polycab India, Bosch, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Dabur India, JSW Energy and NTPC Green Energy.
From the current midcap basket, stocks like Punjab & Sind Bank, Ola Electric Mobility, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail, Indraprastha Gas and The New India Assurance Co are likely to get downgraded to the smallcap category.

China PM warns against a global AI 'monopoly'
China PM warns against a global AI 'monopoly' China will spearhead the creation of an international organisation to jointly develop AI, the country's premier said, seeking to ensure that the world-changing technology doesn't become the province of just a few nations or companies. Artificial intelligence harbours risks from widespread job losses to economic upheaval that require nations to work together to address, Premier Li Qiang told the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on Saturday. That means more international exchanges, Beijing's No 2 official said during China's most important annual technology summit. Li didn't name any countries in his short address to kick off the event. But Chinese executives and officials have taken aim at Washington's efforts to curtail the Asian country's tech sector, including by slapping restrictions on the export of Nvidia chips crucial to AI development. On Saturday, Li acknowledged a shortage of semiconductors was a major bottleneck, but reaffirmed President Xi Jinping's call to establish policies to propel Beijing's ambitions. The govt will now help create a body - loosely translated as the World AI Cooperation Organization - through which countries can share insights and talent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Female Athletes Right Now Undo "Currently, key resources and capabilities are concentrated in a few countries and a few enterprises. If we engage in technological monopoly, controls and restrictions, AI will become an exclusive game for a small number of countries and enterprises," Li told hundreds of delegates huddled at the conference venue on the banks of Shanghai's iconic Huangpu river. China and the US are locked in a race to develop a technology with the potential to turbocharge economies and - over the long run - tip the balance of geopolitical power. This week, US President Donald Trump signed executive orders to loosen regulations and expand energy supplies for data centers - a call to arms to ensure companies like OpenAI and Google help safeguard America's lead in the post-ChatGPT era. At the same time, the breakout success of DeepSeek has inspired Chinese tech leaders and startups to accelerate research and roll out AI products. The weekend conference in Shanghai - gathering star founders, Beijing officials and deep-pocketed financiers by the thousands - is designed to catalyze that movement. The event, which has featured Elon Musk and Jack Ma in years past, was launched in 2018. This year's attendance may hit a record because it's taking place at a critical juncture in the global race to lead GenAI development. It's already drawn some notable figures: Nobel Prize laureate Geoffrey Hinton and former Google chief Eric Schmidt were among heavyweights who met Shanghai party boss Chen Jining Thursday, before they were due to speak at the event.

Economic ties with Beijing may be easing but with caution, says FM Sitharaman
New Delhi: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday indicated the possibility of stepping up India-China business engagement, stating that various domestic stakeholders have been calling on the government to facilitate greater access to the Chinese market and investments, and that Beijing has also reached out for the purpose. "There is something, some kind of a beginning. As to how far it will go that's something we have to wait and see. But it might help the economy. However, a sense of caution would have to be built into it," Sitharaman said. She was speaking at a function held in Delhi for the release of a book in honour of economist Shankar Acharya.

The measures coincided with the onset of Covid-19. Later, the government extended visas to certain Chinese professionals to push the completion of Indian renewable projects. This week, India resumed tourist visas to the neighbouring country. In March, Beijing lifted visa curbs on Indian citizens. External affairs minister S Jaishankar this month visited China for the first time in six years and met President Xi Jinping amid efforts from both sides to reset ties. Sitharaman also said trade talks with the US and the European Union are going well. 'It is bilateral trade which is taking priority over multilateral trade,' she said, referring to the changed global environment.

Centene raises Wall Street optimism that Medicaid insurers can improve profits
New York: Wall Street regained confidence in Medicaid insurers after Centene said on Friday it expects to be able to raise rates charged to states for 2026 health plans for low-income Americans and strengthen profit margins . Insurer shares rose across the board. Centene shares were up 5% in early afternoon trading after falling 16% on the company's announcement of a second-quarter loss and forecast cut. Rivals UnitedHealth, CVS Health and Humana rose 1.61%, 2.69% and 3.45%, respectively. All three report earnings next week. Centene in an earnings call reassured investors it would work with states to ensure their payments for Medicaid plans match the company's increased medical costs for 2026. "Our goal is to reprice 100%" of plans, said company CEO Sarah London. Insurers are paid a set amount by states for Medicaid plans, which are jointly funded with the federal government. Centene, UnitedHealth and Elevance have said this year that state reimbursements for these plans have lagged behind actual costs of care. Cautious investors have been looking for Medicaid health plan design changes and strategic geographic changes by the companies to reduce use of healthcare services . New work requirements for Medicaid recipients in President Donald Trump's signature tax-cut and spending bill have made some investors worry that healthy people could disenroll in coming years. The bill requires states to verify certain members are working or volunteering a minimum of 80 hours per month to qualify for Medicaid coverage starting in 2027. After a COVID-19 era requirement to keep people enrolled expired in 2023, Medicaid plans redetermined each person's eligibility. This pushed members off, changing the mix of sick and healthy participants, and some Medicaid insurers struggled. "The Medicaid redeterminations have proven to be far more disruptive than anyone thought," said Jeff Jonas, a portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds. "The entire industry is focused on restoring margin over winning new contracts and membership." More detailed data could justify midyear price increases, said Kevin Gade, chief operating officer at Bahl & Gaynor, and correct mismatched rates set by states after the pandemic. More data over the next year will also enable insurers to improve cost management techniques and raise rates paid by states, Gade said. "With enough data you can take care of the problem."
