While sharing his advice with investors, Sunny Agrawal, Head of Fundamental Equity Research, SBI Securities said, “At the current juncture, risk-reward looks favourable in large caps compared to small and midcaps. In small and midcaps, investors should look for bottom-up growth stories in the companies where the capex cycle has recently completed or is on the verge of completion and there is robust demand visibility for the product/services.”
Data further showed that SG Mart, Remedium Lifecare, Taylormade Renewables, Pulsar International, Tine Agro, Jai Balaji Industries, Sheetal Diamonds and K&R Rail Engineering also climbed somewhere between 1,000 per cent and 2,000 per cent during the same period.
