As the second wave of the pandemic hit the economy and various businesses, well-known investors of Dalal Street loosened their purse strings to buy some beaten-down stocks. These stock pickers, whose purchases and sale of stocks are tracked by market participants, raised their bets or bought afresh shares of financial, metal and textiles companies in the June quarter. For instance, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s name showed up in June quarter holdings of Indiabulls Housing and SAIL with 2.17% and 1.39% stake, respectively. Jhunjhunwala increased stake in Edelweiss by 0.4% but lowered stake in Titan, TV18 Broadcast and Autoline Industries. Chennai-based investor Dolly Khanna’s name showed up in June quarter holdings of Deepak Spinners and Nitin Spinners, in which she owns 2.1% and 1.2% stake. Investors’ holdings of over 1% in companies appear in stock exchange disclosures.
