Despite a nearly 4% decline in the Nifty 50 over three months, several Nifty Smallcap 250 stocks have rallied sharply. Cupid led with 66% gains, followed by Sterlite Technologies and Welspun Corp, highlighting pockets of resilience amid market volatility.
The analysis
Sterlite Technologies reported movement of 4%, 65% and 66%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -5.0% on the day at ₹824.50, and has returned +55.4% over three months. It sits 19% below its 52-week high. The telecom & media sector has moved +0.9% over the same period, so Sterlite Technologies is running 54.5 points ahead of its peers.
