Amidst a sideways journey of Sensex, Nifty Smallcap Index is up almost 20% in the last 3 months and at least 18 smallcap stocks have made investors richer by delivering multibagger returns. If the BSE Smallcap index closes this week on a positive note, then this will be the longest gaining streak in its history. The quarterly results season in the smallcap space was better in Q4FY23 due to fall in input and interest costs and pickup in demand. Other factors behind the gold rush in smallcaps include: catching up with largecaps, optimism surrounding the March quarter earnings, and continued support from domestic investors, particularly through mutual funds.
