MUMBAI: While the domestic equity market had a stellar run this year despite the Covid-19 pandemic, some stocks still eroded half or more value for the year-to-date.
Up nearly 14 per cent in 2020, equity benchmark Sensex is at a record high level. From its March lows, the index has recovered nearly 83 per cent.
However, five of the BSE 500 stocks eroded at least 50 per cent value since the start of 2020, and such erosion was largely due to reasons specific to the company or the group. In most cases, it was accompanied by falling institutional participation.
