Largecap stocks are again coming back into focus as investors turn cautious on expensive midcap and smallcap names. But not every largecap has protected wealth. A set of Nifty stocks has delivered negative returns for two straight years, showing that even index heavyweights can become long spells of pain for investors.
Ace Equity data shows that eight Nifty stocks fell in 2025 and have either remained weak or barely recovered in 2026. These include Tata Motors PV, Trent, TCS, ITC, HCL Technologies, Power Grid Corporation, Infosys and Wipro.
