Speaking of the stock market, in as many as 92 years, only 4% of all listed equities in the US accounted for all the wealth created there.

Now since we are referring to the American stock markets, we cannot blame the underperformance of 96% stocks on the lack of maturity of the markets.

Nor can we attribute any economic or geopolitical risk as the cause. This is because the performance has been gauged over nearly a century.

FMCG giant Nestle India announced 5 January as the record date for their earlier announced stock split.

FIIs reduced their shareholding in the company from 12.4% in the June quarter to 12.1% in the September 2023 quarter. While DIIs increased their stake in the company from 9.1% to 9.3% during the same period.
