Dont expect big fireworks from SAMVAT 2078! 10 stocks where retail investors hold maximum stakes

SAMVAT 2077 closed on a blockbuster note with gains of about 40 per cent for the benchmark indices, but experts caution retail investors for the next SAMVAT, which might not be as bright.

The broader market indices outperformed domestic equity benchmarks. The Nifty Midcap100 and the Nifty Smallcap100 yielded 70.4% and 81.5% between November 13, 2020 and November 2, 2021.

The bull run remains intact even though we might be trading near unchartered territories, and any dips from here on can be used to accumulate quality stocks. Benchmark indices are unlikely to give blockbuster returns but stock specific action is likely to continue, suggested experts.

“Samvat 2077 can be characterized by a broad-based recovery across the equity market segments. Benchmark Nifty index has delivered a return of over 40%, while broader market i.e. mid-caps and small-caps have outperformed the large caps with over 70% and 80% returns, respectively,” Rajnath Yadav, Research Analyst at Choice Broking, said.

“As far as the outlook for Samvat 2078 is concerned, we are not expecting returns similar to previous year. Market returns for this year will be in the range of 8-12%,” said Yadav.
