Japans Nikkei rallies to record high, SoftBank surges
By Junko Fujita and Rocky Swift TOKYO, - Japan's Nikkei share gauge powered to an all-time high on Tuesday, swept up by sharp gains for tech stocks, as it caught up with peaks scaled earlier this year by other major global stock markets. The Nikkei 225 rose as much as 2.1% to 42,715.72 in early trade, exceeding the previous high of 42,426.77 set on July 11, 2024. In a roller-coaster ride in 2024, the Nikkei had exceeded a record that had stood since 1989 during Japan's bubble economy. Japan's broader Topix gauge has been setting successive record highs since July 24 and also scored a new all-time high on Tuesday. The U.S. Standard & Poor's 500 and MSCI's broadest gauge of global equities have been charting new peaks since June. Steep gains by tech shares helped the Nikkei finally get over the line. SoftBank Group soared 6.7% after Reuters reported the conglomerate was selecting banks for a U.S. listing of its payments app operator PayPay. Semiconductor industry heavyweights Advantest and Lasertec jumped more than 5%. "The Nikkei was not able to hit a record until today because chip-related shares and auto shares dragged the index," said Takamasa Ikeda, senior portfolio manager at GCI Asset Management. "The Nikkei could soon peak as technology shares that led the Wall Street's rally have slowed down." Global equities tumbled after U.S. President Donald Trump's April 2 "Liberation Day" announcement of sweeping tariffs on imports from dozens of countries into the U.S. Shares have since more than recouped those losses as trade concerns abated and enthusiasm over artificial intelligence companies soared. Foreign money has been flooding into the Japanese market of late, but data from the Tokyo Stock Exchange last week indicated those flows may have peaked.

They sold a net 342 billion yen of shares and futures, a sharp reversal from net purchases of 1.26 trillion yen in the previous week.

Vodafone Idea to Vishal Mega Mart — These 10 stocks face biggest brunt as promoter holding slumps to 8-year low in Q1
Selling by promoters gathered pace during the June quarter, with the share of private promoters in the Indian stock market declining to an 8-year low. The stake held by India Inc promoters stood at 40.58% on June 30, 2025, compared with 40.81% on March 31, 2025. During the quarter, promoters sold a net value of ₹ 54,732 crore, according to data by The top 10 companies where private promoter stake declined the most included some of the popular names like Vishal Mega Mart, Vodafone Idea and Sagility India. The promoters of these companies reduced their stakes by up to 37% during Q1 FY26. Wendt (India) saw the promoter stake halve to 37.50% in the June quarter from 75% in the March quarter. However, despite this, the small-cap stock gained 4% during the April-June quarter. EPL Limited was another small-cap stock that saw among the highest promoter selling during the period under review. Promoter holding in this stock declined by 24.89% to 26.42% in the June quarter. In Vishal Mega Mart, the promoter sold a 20.33% stake to bring their shareholding down to 54.22%. Company Promoter Holding (%) Mar 31, 2025 Promoter Holding (%) Jun 30, 2025 Decrease in Holding (%) WENDT (India) Ltd. 75 37.5 -37.5 EPL Ltd. 51.31 26.42 -24.89 Vishal Mega Mart Ltd. 74.55 54.22 -20.33 Hilton Metal Forging Ltd. 27.39 7.71 -19.68 Sagility India Ltd. 82.39 67.38 -15.01 Silgo Retail Ltd. 69.93 55.37 -14.56 Praxis Home Retail Ltd. 23.61 9.92 -13.69 Vodafone Idea Ltd. 38.8 25.57 -13.23 Aptus Value Housing Finance India Ltd. 52.98 40.37 -12.61 RPP Infra Projects Ltd. 51.01 39.18 -11.83 Hilton Metal, Sagility India, Silgo Retail and Praxis Home Retail are among other stocks where promoters offloaded stake to the tune of 19.63%, 15.01%, 14.56%, and 13.69%. Vodafone Idea also saw a promoter stake reduction of 13.23%. The beleaguered telecom company had sold a major chunk of its stake to the government of India in a bid to lower debt during Q1. Aptus Value and RPP Infra Projects are among other stocks that saw significant promoter stake reductions. According to Pranav Haldea, Managing Director, PRIME Database Group, while promoter buying is always a positive sign, promoter selling can be due to a wide variety of reasons such as promoters taking advantage of bullish markets to take money off the table, strategic reasons like debt reduction, legacy planning, philanthropy, investment in other ventures and meeting Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) requirement as also for personal expenses. Relatively lower promoter holding in some of the recent IPO companies and overall institutionalisation of the market are some of the other reasons behind this fall, he explained. Haldia advised investors against pressing the panic button when promoters sell and instead should evaluate each case on its merit. According to Haldea, as long as promoters continue to hold a sizeable stake after the sale, with the sale not happening at a huge discount to market price and there being no significant change in the fundamentals of the company, there is no reason to worry.
