The Indian stock markets have been on a downward spiral since last October, wherein the key benchmark indices have shed almost 16 per cent from their record peaks. There is a sense of fear and confusion on the Street given the spike in volatility and underlying unpredictable nature of the market itself.
In the recent past, select mid- and small-cap stocks have caused notable destruction to investors wealth as well-known stocks tumbled over 40 per cent from their respective peaks on valuation and future growth concerns.
Among the mid-caps, Metropolis Healthcare has tanked 57 per cent so far this year.
