Which one suits a portfolio depends on how much valuation risk it can carry, so staggering entries and reviewing each quarterly result is a sound habit.

ICICI Bank is notable for the lowest PE of the group at 16.09. Shriram Finance stands out for the fastest profit growth, 38.64% a year since FY22. Polycab offers the highest return on equity at 22.25%. These are watchlist names for FII favourite stocks, not recommendations, so match each one to your own risk profile and time horizon.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Polycab_a_good_stock_for_long-term_investors\"><\/span><strong>Is Polycab a good stock for long-term investors?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Polycab has a return on equity of 22.25%, a PE of 43.16 against an industry PE of 49.96 and a market cap of Rs 1,25,388 crore. Net profit has compounded at 33.79% a year since FY22, and FY26 revenue rose 28.76% while June 2026 quarter net profit grew 32.84%. Long-term returns in FII favourite stocks depend on earnings growth and the price paid at entry, so staggering purchases and consulting a SEBI-registered advisor is sensible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Shriram_Finance_become_a_multibagger_from_here\"><\/span><strong>Can Shriram Finance become a multibagger from here?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Shriram Finance has already gained 239.61% in five years, so another multi-fold move would need sustained earnings growth. A multibagger outcome in FII favourite stocks requires earnings to keep growing faster than the market for several years. Net profit has compounded at 38.64% a year since FY22, and FY26 revenue rose 15.13%. At a PE of 19.73 against an industry PE of 17.68, valuation should be checked against that growth before investing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_market_cap_of_ICICI_Bank_Shriram_Finance_and_Polycab\"><\/span><strong>What is the market cap of ICICI Bank, Shriram Finance and Polycab?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> As of 16 October 2026, ICICI Bank has a market cap of Rs 9,61,516 crore, Shriram Finance has a market cap of Rs 2,23,308 crore and Polycab has a market cap of Rs 1,25,388 crore. All of them qualify as largecaps. Market cap changes daily with the share price, so check the latest figure on the Univest Screener or on NSE before taking a decision on FII favourite stocks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_risks_of_investing_in_FII_favourite_stocks\"><\/span><strong>What are the risks of investing in FII favourite stocks?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The main risks are sudden changes in global fund flows, currency moves and valuations that already reflect strong interest. Companies with steady earnings and strong domestic holders handle these better. ICICI Bank trades at a PE of 16.09 against an industry PE of 12.05, so earnings growth needs to hold up.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_ICICI_Bank_trading_at_a_PE_of_1609\"><\/span><strong>Why is ICICI Bank trading at a PE of 16.09?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> ICICI Bank&#8217;s PE of 16.09 compares with an industry PE of 12.05. The market is paying a premium for a return on equity of 15.00%, profit growth of 22.29% a year since FY22 and latest-quarter profit growth of 12.62%, which also means the stock is more sensitive if growth slows. Investors in FII favourite stocks who are comfortable with higher valuation risk may prefer to stagger purchases instead of investing in one go.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_do_institutions_hold_in_ICICI_Bank_Shriram_Finance_and_Polycab\"><\/span><strong>How much do institutions hold in ICICI Bank, Shriram Finance and Polycab?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> As of the latest reported quarter, FII and DII together hold 92.22% of ICICI Bank (50.44% and 41.78%), 74.67% of Shriram Finance (54.77% and 19.90%) and 26.62% of Polycab (19.00% and 7.62%).
