In the past month, several small-cap stocks have delivered impressive double-digit returns. This strong performance comes despite overall market uncertainty due to global macro concerns, a potential US-India trade deal, and mixed results from some large-cap companies. Retail portfolios, however, are seeing a boost thanks to gains in smaller stocks.
Here are some of the small-cap stocks that stood out with strong returns in the past 30 days:
| Stock Name | Gain in Last Month |
| Laurus Labs | 23% |
| Swan Energy | 20% |
| CreditAccess Grameen | 19% |
| Natco Pharma | 18.5% |
| Piramal Enterprises | 18% |
| Delhivery | 17% |
| Himadri Speciality Chemicals | 16% |
| IIFL Finance | 10% |

Many of these companies including Laurus Labs and CreditAccess Grameen have shown improved earnings. Laurus Labs saw a 23% gain in the last month, driven by expectations of another strong quarter after its FY25 profits doubled. This is one of the main reasons behind the rally in small-cap stocks.
Various small-and mid-cap stocks have become attractive after recent corrections. With better Q1 earnings and improved valuations, many quality small-cap names now offer good risk-reward potential, especially in sectors like banking and infrastructure. However, investors must invest in top stocks via their demat accounts based on their risk appetite and investment horizon.

The recent rally in small-cap stocks shows growing investor confidence, driven by strong results and optimistic outlooks. While large caps provide safety, a balanced approach that includes selective small- and mid-cap stocks could help investors benefit from broader market opportunities in the months ahead.
