Small-cap stocks: Pick right one & manage risk for wealth-creation: 5 small-caps from different sectors with upside potential of over 25%

Cast your eye back to a year back – to September 2024. It was a time when everyone from regulators to policymakers was trying to dampen the enthusiasm of retail investors flocking to small-caps. Such was the rush that even bankrupt companies had billion-dollar market caps. After an extended correction, however, the situation in small-cap stocks is much better today than what it was a year back. But why look at them as they remain riskier bets than mid- and large-caps? Because, if you do pick the right stock, the returns can be phenomenal. So, all you need to do is manage the risk.
