Indian Mid- and Small-Cap Stocks Show Recovery Amid Market Volatility Post Conflict

Following a weak 2025 and a challenging start to 2026, Indian mid- and small-cap stocks declined during March amid heightened US-Israel-Iran conflict. Since April, these segments have shown signs of recovery, reflected in indices like the Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100. While this suggests potential investment opportunities with upside of up to 24%, experts advise caution due to ongoing market volatility and uncertainties.
