MFs kept buying these 11 stocks for 8 straight quarters; shares surge up to 250% in 2 years

Mutual funds have consistently raised their holdings in around 36 BSE 1000 companies over eight straight quarters through March 2025, with 11 of these stocks delivering returns between 25% and 252% over the past two years. Thangamayil Jewellery led the pack with a 252% surge, followed by Gabriel India at 164% and Fiem Industries at 75%, while Adani Power, Adani Energy Solutions, LT Foods, PNB Housing Finance, Eternal, Anup Engineering, Asahi India Glass and Usha Martin also posted gains of 25% to 58%. However, four stocks in the MF accumulation list, including Trident (down 32%) and TARC (down 35%), declined despite rising institutional ownership, underscoring that sustained MF buying is not a guaranteed winning formula.
