Independent market analyst, Ambareesh Baliga, for instance, said that regulators are worried on the valuation front. "Until recently, corrections in microcaps were seen as a buying opportunity, which proved right as well. But when valuations become super expensive, the safety net is non-existent. It's pertinent to control greed and take profits home or cut losses, if any," he said. By definition, micro-cap stocks are the ones that are outside the ambit of top 500 companies (in terms of market capitalisation), with their market cap being less than 5,000 crore. So far, in March, the Nifty Microcap 250 index has declined 7 per cent on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) as against a 1.5 per cent gain in the benchmark Nifty50 index.
The Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices, meanwhile, are down 0.5 per cent and 3.6 per cent, respectively.
