Mid-Small Caps for a Year

SEBI Registered

These are high-conviction mid and small-cap stocks selected for their potential to deliver strong returns over the next year. We look for expanding businesses, improving earnings, and market leadership in niche segments. This is not about chasing hype-it's about identifying tomorrow's leaders today, backed by fundamentals and trend confirmation.

This category is about finding high-growth, high-conviction mid and small-cap stocks with the potential to deliver superior returns over the next 12 months. These are businesses that are often at an exciting stage in their growth journey—expanding capacity, entering new markets, or innovating products. They may not yet be household names, but they are building the foundation to become tomorrow’s leaders. The emphasis here is on carefully selecting stocks where business momentum, valuation comfort, and improving financials align with technical signals of strength.

This category is meant for investors who are prepared to take on greater risk in pursuit of higher returns. It appeals to:

  • Aggressive investors who want to add alpha to their portfolios
  • Experienced retail investors who track market trends and want to benefit from early-stage growth stories
  • Diversifiers who already hold bluechips but wish to add a layer of high-growth potential
  • Investors who are willing to stomach interim volatility in exchange for larger payoffs

Mid and small caps often outperform when market sentiment turns bullish or when specific sectors enter growth phases. Unlike bluechips, which move steadily, mid and small caps can deliver outsized returns in shorter bursts when positive triggers arrive. These triggers might include strong quarterly earnings, sector-wide reforms, government policies, or industry tailwinds. Our methodology combines fundamental analysis to ensure companies are financially sound with technical validation that confirms price and volume action. This two-layered approach helps reduce the risk of blindly chasing momentum or hype.

The holding period for this category is approximately twelve months. You will receive recommendations typically around 9.30 am in the morning.

What distinguishes this category is its blend of ambition and discipline. On one hand, it taps into the fastest-growing segments of the market, giving you exposure to companies that could multiply in value as they scale. On the other hand, it applies a scientific selection process that filters out weak balance sheets, unsustainable rallies, or speculative fads. It’s not about chasing every stock in the midcap or smallcap universe that’s flying; it’s about curating a shortlist of names with genuine potential backed by evidence.

Overview

"Stocks to Buy for a Week" is designed for traders who want to act quickly but don’t want the pressure of making decisions within minutes or hours. It focuses on short-term equity opportunities that are meant to be held for five trading days. These stocks are selected using a scientific process that combines technical signals like volume spikes, breakouts, and trend confirmation. The aim is to help you benefit from a price move that is expected to play out over a week’s time.

Who Is It For?

This category is well-suited for active but time-conscious traders. It works best for:
• Individuals who check the market daily but can’t track positions minute-by-minute
• Traders who are comfortable holding positions overnight
• Professionals who want to stay engaged in markets with a limited time commitment
• Beginners who want to learn about trading with limited risk and capital

Why It Works?

Short-term price action in stocks is often influenced by technical patterns, sectoral momentum, news catalysts, and investor flows. These factors frequently create 3-5 day bursts of price movement. By using a rules-based approach to capture such moves, the category allows you to act on ideas that have both speed and structure. It reduces randomness and improves the odds of making timely entries and exits.

Time Horizon & Frequency

Holding Period is generally 5 trading days but sometimes we may extend the duration if the stock is really up to something. Who doesn’t like additional returns after all?
These recommendations are published immediately after it meets our criteria during market hours. You can expect most of the recommendations in the first half of the trading day.

What Makes This Category Unique?

It gives you the agility of trading without the stress of intraday volatility. You get time to plan your trades but don’t have to commit capital for weeks or months. It’s perfect for those who want to stay active without being reactive. The scientific selection method further ensures that each stock is backed by a repeatable and data-driven process.
