Motilal Oswal for Trident says, "The stock has traded at 9x 1-year forward P/E over the last three years, with RoE estimated to improve from 9.2% in FY18 to 12.5% in FY20. We expect revenue/PAT CAGR of 8%/26% over FY18-20. We, thus, value TRID at 10x FY20E EPS and arrive at a TP of INR83. Maintain Buy." 

As for SpiceJet, Elara Capital says, "We value SJET at INR 203, ascribing 8.0x FY20 EV/EBITDAR multiple. SJET is our top pick among aviation space based on our bullish stance on regional market growth, where SJET has highest capacity."

Edelweiss Financial Services in case of L&T Technology said, "While ER&D outsourcing is clocking ~12% CAGR, LTTS is growing at significant higher rates, proving its superior technological prowess. We revise up FY19/FY20E revenue by 4.0/2.7% leading to revised target price to INR1,650 (INR1,625 earlier). We maintain ‘BUY’." 

In regards to Gateway Distriparks, Sharekhan says, "We have lowered our estimates for FY2019-FY2020, factoring lower operational performance of the CFS and rail divisions. Considering the near-term business headwinds, we have maintained our Hold rating on the stock with a revised price target of Rs. 190." 

Considering above factors, investors who have invested their hard earned money in the above mentioned small caps then good days have arrived for them.
