SBI Securities has 'buy' call on this smallcap stock; target price implies 19% upside

Smallcap Shares to Buy for Long Term: SBI Securities has maintained a 'buy' rating on a smallcap stock with a target price of Rs 1,453 per share, which implies an upside of almost 19 per cent from its intraday low on Monday, November 4—the first full session of Samvat 2081, which began on Diwali. This is on top of a 99 per cent return the stock has already delivered for the year so far. In other words, any further upside in the smallcap stock will have at least doubled investors' money in 2024. So if you're looking for smallcap shares to buy today, here's an option you may consider. 

The stock in focus is SJS Enterprises. On Tuesday, the smallcap scrip fell by as much as Rs 39.7, or 3.1 per cent, to Rs 1,223 apiece on BSE amid a market-wide sell-off wherein the headline Nifty50 index declined 2.0 per cent at the day's low.

At this level, SBI Securities' target translates to an upside of Rs 230, or 18.8 per cent.
