Rising Risks
Even as the microcap index paints a rosy picture, the underbelly tells a different story. In FY26 so far, 27 Nifty microcap stocks have slipped over 10%, with 10 of them plunging between 20% and 50% — all within just five months.
This comes at a time when the broader market is showing strong momentum: the Nifty 50 has gained 5.3%, while the Nifty250 Microcap Index has surged 14.5%. Standout performers like Le Travenues Technology and Gabriel India have even doubled investor wealth during this period. But the sharp divergence in performance across the microcap space is a reminder that not all stocks are riding the same wave — and the risks in the segment remain as real as the rewards.
