After 2 straight months of underperformance, the midcap and smallcap indices massively outperformed the benchmark Nifty in the month of April. The Nifty Midcap index jumped 5.8% while the Nifty Smallcap index surged 11.4% in the previous month. In comparison, the benchmark Nifty was up 1.24%.
Going ahead, experts believe that the rally in midcaps and smallcaps in 2024 is not likely to be as strong as the one in 2023 due to high valuations. Furthermore, the analysts have started to prefer largecaps over midcaps and smallcaps in 2024 after last year s surge.
There is no stopping the rally in mid and small-cap stocks. The broader markets have been consistently hitting new peaks this year including today, massively outperforming the benchmark indices. Should you still buy or stay cautious?
