Are you ignoring large-cap stocks for high-flying small caps? With giants like HDFC Bank trading at 20-year low valuations, market expert Deven Choksey explains this surprising trend. The main reason is that large-cap mutual funds are facing redemptions and losing AUM, restricting their ability to invest. Meanwhile, mid and small-cap stocks are experiencing astronomical P/E ratios of 100 or 120. Why? It is largely due to a severe liquidity squeeze. Too much retail money is chasing a tiny free float, artificially inflating prices. However, investors must remain cautious. Buying into excessively expensive valuations can lead to sharp portfolio losses when the momentum breaks.
