Soon after election results, there was and probably still there is chatter on the street that small caps are not going to see the same kind of performance as they have seen in the last two years.

Strong demand tailwinds are for all the players: 5 small and midcap real-estate stocks with upside potential of up to 34%
Four years ago, the real estate industry was defined by excess inventory, over leveraged balance sheets and weak demand. Today, a housing project getting launched is getting sold within a few days. The average prices on a per square ft basis have inched upward very sharply in the last one year and still there is no dearth of demand. Now the question is whether this kind of sharp rise in demand is having an impact only on large players or also on mid-sized companies which are focussed in a region only. The fact is that in the case of sectors like real estate, when the tide of demand changes, it changes for every player, be it large or medium. Yes, when it comes to medium-sized players it would be important to look at the players where they have a track record of implementing projects on time. Delivering the project on time is key metrics which determines whether the company which is mid-sized today will become large or not in years to come. As the large ones have seen a sharp rise in the valuations, the focus of the street is now also on mid-sized by well managed companies.

Post 2015 and then again in 2018, RBI did a strong rejig in various banking policies, right from capital adequacy to the operational matrix, to loan disbursement mechanism. In sectors like banking when a regulatory rejig takes place, every player has to follow a new set of rules. It is not possible for any entity to escape the regulatory regime. This leads to a situation where entities which are large or are already following best practices are able to make transition to a new regime in a short span of time and are the first one to get rewarded on the street. Others who take time to the follow which normally are smaller or mid sized players tend to get attention later. So, While ICICI and SBI have been in the limelight for a long time, mid and small-sized banks, who took time to clean up their act are likely to get the attention.
