Retail investors raised stakes in 12 smallcap stocks that surged up to 110%

Smallcap stocks are known for their high-risk, high-reward appeal, and retail investors continue to bet on the segment. Shareholding data for the June 2026 quarter show that retail investors increased their stakes in 328 small-cap stocks for the second consecutive quarter, signalling sustained confidence. (Retail investors are resident individuals holding nominal share capital of up to Rs 2 lakh.) However, this optimism hasn't translated into broad-based gains. Only about 100 small-cap stocks have delivered positive returns in CY26 so far. Against this backdrop, here are the top 10 small-cap stocks that have rallied 70-110% in the first seven months of CY26 while also seeing retail ownership rise for two consecutive quarters.
