Top 3 Small-cap stocks to watch out for in the Budget month!
All eyes would now be on how the government manages the fine balance of propelling economic growth and fiscal management.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the government’s final full budget on February 1, ahead of the 2024 general elections. It comes at a time when governments are trying to balance supporting the economy amid global headwinds and the road to fiscal consolidation. All eyes would now be on how the government manages the fine balance of propelling economic growth and fiscal management. Meanwhile, the market participants would be waiting that this prolonged consolidation would take a decisive direction as the key trigger point is the Union Budget.
Historically, in 14 out of 22 years, the pre-existing trend has reversed post-budget. At the same time, pre-budget months have a neutral bias, whereas post-budget months have a negative bias. On only seven occasions in the last 26 budget sessions (including ‘vote on account’ budgets), the index moved over 1 per cent to 4 per cent). Even in the 2020 historical fall, the budget acted as a trigger point to it. Let us wait for the triggers this time and we will go according to direction. Whatever the outcome may be, we believe stock specific action would continue on D-Street and here is the list of top three Small-Cap stocks which tend to deliver robust performance in the month of February, historically.
