Data show that 13 small-cap stocks on the BSE SmallCap Index gained for five consecutive sessions, highlighting pockets of strong momentum even as broader market breadth remains narrow. The uptick was concentrated in sectors including speciality chemicals, renewable energy and industrials. Analysts caution that while the streak may attract momentum-traders' attention, structurally these names remain exposed to liquidity risk, valuations and global headwinds. Investors are advised to differentiate between sustainable performance and short-term momentum when positioning in small-cap pockets.
