What happened
GQG Partners sold nearly 37 crore ITC shares in a large block deal on October 9, 2026, as the investment management company pared its equity holding. This sale followed open market transactions on October 8, 2026, where GQG Partners offloaded a 2.91 percent stake in ITC for nearly Rs 9,400 crore. Separately, Nomura named ITC a top pick among consumer staples in a recent note.
Why it matters
The sharp selloff by GQG Partners caused ITC shares to plunge more than 4% on Wednesday, hitting a fresh 52-week low. This market volatility occurred despite Nomura's 'Buy' call, which suggests a positive long-term outlook for the stock.
