Stocks Crash: In the last one-two years, many such IPOs came in the market, which were presented as new age companies. The business model of these companies was said to be the game changer of the future and tremendous enthusiasm was seen at the time of listing. But the picture changed with time. Many of these popular stocks have fallen 40 percent to 80 percent from their all-time high. Investors who took entry at a high level are now facing huge losses.
PhysicsWallah
The shares of PhysicsWallah, a famous company in the edtech sector, closed at Rs 102.45 yesterday, whereas at one time it had reached Rs 161.99. That means a decline of about 35-40 percent from the high level. The stock has fallen by almost one-third in just three months. According to the data of December 2025, the promoters’ stake in the company is more than 72.33 percent. The stake of foreign institutional investors (FII) and domestic institutional investors (DII) is around 12.74%. However, despite strong promoter holding, the market remains under pressure.
Brainbees Solutions (FirstCry)
The shares of Brainbees Solutions, a company selling children’s products, have also fallen victim to a sharp decline. After reaching a peak of Rs 734 in 2024, it slipped to around Rs 215, which shows a decline of about 70 percent. In just one year it saw a weakness of more than 40 percent. The special thing is that foreign investors have also reduced their stake in it, due to which the confidence of the market has weakened somewhat.

swiggy
Shares of food delivery platform Swiggy have also fallen from their high of Rs 617 to around Rs 330. That means a decline of about 45%. However, one positive aspect here is that there has been an increase in the share of FIIs. While their share was around 5% in March 2025, by December 2025 it increased to more than 16%. This indicates that some big investors are looking at long-term prospects.
Meesho
The shares of e-commerce platform Meesho have fallen by almost 40% from the peak level of Rs 254 and were recently seen trading around Rs 156. According to the share holding pattern, promoters hold about 17% stake, while the stake of FII and DII is in single digits. Limited institutional participation is also considered to be a reason for fluctuations.
Ola Electric
Ola Electric investors have faced the biggest decline. This share had reached Rs 157 after IPO, but now it is at the level of around Rs 28 i.e. a fall of about 80%. Promoters hold about 35% stake, while FII’s stake is around 4%. This decline has proved extremely harmful for those who have invested at high levels.
