When a large number of mutual fund schemes invest in the same stock, it typically reflects strong institutional conviction and often boosts retail investor confidence. As of February 2026, data shows that 253 stocks were held by more than 100 mutual fund schemes, highlighting broad-based institutional interest. ETMarkets’ analysis reveals that 112 of these stocks have delivered gains of more than 10% since the start of FY26, while 11 have surged over 70%, including four multibagger stocks, within just under one year. This pattern underscores the potential resilience and momentum of stocks backed by extensive mutual fund participation.(Data Source: ACE MF, ACE Equity)
