Last one month has been a dream run for small cap stocks, a number of them have been able to scale new highs. One reason why small caps often tend to do well is because of the lack of liquidity in the stock. A bit of buying leads to sharp up moves in stock price. The same low liquidity becomes the root cause of trouble when one is selling, a small amount of selling and the price dip very sharply. So besides fundamentals which are the key to investing, also keep an eye on the liquidity of stocks.

A study of BSE500 stocks shows that there are at least 4 smallcap counters that are trading below half of their book value. In other words, their PB ratio has gone below 0.50x.

Risks are higher, but desire to own them is at the highest. This probably explains the current state of relationship between the small cap segment of the market and investors. One of the reasons for it could be the recent performance of small caps and the kind of return they have delivered in the last eight months. This has brought them in the category of stocks where the desire to own them is “highest”. But the fact which gets ignored in such conditions is that “risks” are also higher. Especially the market liquidity risk and the risk of corporate governance being thrown out of the window. There are many risks which are being ignored and largely because of one reason, the narrative and price action on the street. So, while you take risks, understand the risk and try to manage the risk. ...Less

As an investor there are certain things which are under your control when making a decision to buy stocks. One of them is that before buying the stock, do some basic home work like what is the business of the company and how that company is placed in the industry and what are some of its basic key ratios. This work will not only save not only money but also lots of anxiety when there is a correction in markets. The problem with not even looking at basics is that when the market corrects as it has been doing for the last three sessions, decisions to exit are made in hurry, just based on price action.

Once again there is a narrative on the street that small caps are overpriced. Is there anything wrong with that narrative? The answer is No. Out of the total universe of smallcap stocks listed on the exchanges, maybe 90 % are overpriced. But a distinction needs to be made between a stock being overpriced and bad business. A situation of an overpriced stock gets corrected as the earnings move up, but a bad business cannot be set right. So, when buying a smallcap, focus on the underlying business and that probably will help in retaining that stock for a long period to take full benefit of the growth of the business. ...Less
