Small-cap stocks refer to companies with relatively smaller market capitalizations. These companies may not be as large or well-known as big corporations, but they carry high growth potential. Investors keep a close watch on small-cap stocks because they can deliver significant returns if the company performs well over time.

The important indicator of a company’s potential is the interest shown by institutional investors, such as Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs). When these large investors increase their stake in a company, it often signals confidence in the company’s future growth. This is because FIIs and DIIs usually conduct deep research before making investment decisions.

In the latest quarter, many small-cap companies saw an increase in holdings by both FIIs and DIIs. This trend suggests that these stocks may be gaining attention due to strong fundamentals, growth prospects, or favorable market conditions. In this article, we will look at such small-cap stocks.
