India’s smaller stocks are beating their larger peers for the first time in three years, and some strategists say that outperformance will likely continue at least through next year.
The Nifty Midcap 100 Index has climbed 20% this year, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 Index has advanced 17%, outpacing the 11% gain in the large-cap NSE Nifty 50 Index. While the Nifty has set a series of new records this year, the smaller gauges remain below their peaks after two years of losses.
