MSCI Shake-Up August 2025: Vishal Mega Mart, Swiggy, Hitachi & Waaree Energies Poised for Standard Index Inclusion
Wall Street's index overlords are at it again—reshuffling deck chairs on the Titanic while pretending it's a revolution. The MSCI Standard Index is set for its quarterly rejig, and this time, Indian retail giant Vishal Mega Mart, food-delivery unicorn Swiggy, Japanese industrial titan Hitachi, and solar upstart Waaree Energies look likely to crash the party.
Why it matters: Getting tapped by MSCI means instant demand from passive funds—billions in algorithmic buy orders that don't care about valuations, fundamentals, or that pesky 'profit' thing startups keep avoiding.
The cynical take: Another round of front-running by hedge funds who'll dump these stocks the second the index funds finish buying. Happy volatility!
