Q2 earnings in India reveal that small-cap companies are under significant stress: missing estimates at the highest rate among market segments and generating a combined market-value loss of roughly Rs 4 lakh crore in 2025 so far. While large cap firms posted modest growth, analysts say this divergence may widen if macro conditions weaken and earnings momentum falters.
The BSE SmallCap index is down over 4% this year, and nearly half of the stocks are down at least 20%.
