Quarter of BSE 100 stocks lag in three-year returns

Twenty-three companies in India's BSE 100 index have delivered weak annual returns over the past three years. Many of these stocks now trade below their historical valuations. The underperformance is concentrated in consumer, IT and BFSI sectors.

The companies face headwinds including cautious client spending in IT and concerns over rural demand in consumer goods. Sectors most affected include consumer, IT and banking, financial services and insurance.

Reliance Industries and Tata Consultancy Services stand out as exceptions. These firms are positioned for growth through new ventures and expansion plans despite the broader challenges.

The findings highlight uneven performance among India's largest listed companies. Many blue-chip names have failed to generate meaningful returns for investors in recent years.
