As India enters 2026, financial experts suggest a shift in market dynamics following the corrections of 2025. The year 2025 saw a significant downturn in small and mid-cap stocks after a period of rapid growth, leading to a behavioral mistake among new investors who expected continuous gains. Experts anticipate 2026 to be a 'Goldilocks moment' with potential for high growth and low inflation, but emphasize a more selective market where company earnings and business growth will be crucial for stock performance, moving away from the era of indiscriminate stock appreciation.
