Below the Quote on Morning market views 26th February 2026 from Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited

A significant takeaway from the current market trend is that despite large institutional buying - FII and DII combined - the market is not surging. Yesterday the combined institutional buying in the cash market was a massive Rs 8100 crores. Yet the market couldn’t sustain the early gains since the “sell on rally” trend emerged, wiping out the early gains.  As the market rallies and valuations get stretched, bears  are getting stronger  and shorts are increasing, pulling the market down. This trend may continue in the near-term, capping the upside to the market. 

For investors, the best option now is to slowly accumulate fundamentally strong, quality stocks like financials which are available at fair valuations. High quality growth stocks in sectors like automobiles and capital goods also will remain resilient. Buy and wait with patience. 

It appears that the IT stocks are stabilising after the 20% crash in the last one month, despite the uncertainty surrounding the sector.
