• The average increase in FII holdings across these stocks signals renewed midcap confidence ahead of the Q1 earnings season.

• Sectors like green energy and defence are attracting structural foreign capital, likely driven by strong policy tailwinds and global de-risking from China.

• Yasho, Marathon, Apollo, and Blue Pearl saw outsized FII jumps, suggesting potential re-rating triggers or valuation comfort.
