The institutional ownership data presents different stories across the five companies. Pine Labs leads on combined FII-DII accumulation, Lenskart leads on FII accumulation, and JSW Infrastructure recorded a major institutional increase alongside a sharp fall in promoter holding. Groww stands out for its high ROCE and ROE, while Anthem combines strong capital efficiency with low debt.
Valuation remains a key consideration. Lenskart trades at a P/E of 171 times, Pine Labs at 149 times, Anthem Biosciences at 87.7 times, Groww at 50.5 times and JSW Infrastructure at 51.7 times. Therefore, higher institutional ownership does not automatically mean that a stock is attractively valued.
The supplied data covers March to June 2026 shareholding, not current August FII-DII flows. Changes can reflect market purchases, new share issuance, stake transfers or other corporate actions. Investors should therefore consider institutional ownership alongside earnings growth, valuation, debt, cash generation and recent company developments before drawing conclusions.

Yes. Based on the supplied March and June 2026 shareholding data, FII and DII holdings increased across all five stocks.
Pine Labs recorded the highest combined FII-DII increase at 17.70 percentage points, followed by Lenskart at 16.58 percentage points.

The data covered in this analysis relates to March to June 2026 shareholding, so it should not be interpreted as August 2026 FII buying activity.
The five stocks covered here recorded higher DII ownership between March and June 2026. However, this dataset alone does not represent the overall Indian market.
Higher institutional ownership can indicate increased institutional participation, but it does not automatically mean a stock is undervalued or will rise. Investors should also consider earnings, valuation, debt, cash flows and business performance.
Lenskart has the highest P/E at 171 times, followed by Pine Labs at 149 times, Anthem Biosciences at 87.7 times, JSW Infrastructure at 51.7 times and Groww at 50.5 times.
Groww has the highest ROCE among the five stocks at 37.3%, based on the supplied data.
Groww also has the highest ROE at 28.8%, followed by Anthem Biosciences at 22.3%.
Institutional accumulation alone is not sufficient to determine whether Pine Labs is a good buy. Investors should consider its valuation, earnings growth, profitability, debt and cash generation.
The increase in FII and DII ownership is one factor to consider, but Lenskart's 171-times P/E also makes valuation an important consideration.
Groww reported strong Q1 FY27 growth and has high ROCE and ROE, but investors should also assess its valuation, cash flows and future earnings before making an investment decision.
Investors should track quarterly shareholding changes, earnings growth, valuations, promoter ownership, debt, operating cash flow and free cash flow rather than relying only on institutional ownership changes.
