AI Market Summary
NSE data show a structural de-concentration in India's equity profit pool: Nifty 50's share of Nifty 500 profits fell from 87% (FY18) to 51% (FY26), alongside a declining market-cap share. Faster earnings growth outside megacaps and shifting sector leadership toward Financials suggest broader participation in corporate profitability, potentially altering relative performance dynamics between large-cap benchmarks and mid/small-cap segments in the near term.
