A trinity of low interest rates, flush of liquidity, and cheap valuation drove investors towards equities in the calendar year 2020. While large-cap stocks drove the indices, investors saw a broad-based revivial in the markets with the mid- and small-cap stocks outperforming their large-cap counterparts.

Going forward, analysts believe the calendar year 2021 (CY21) would well turn out to be the year of mid-and small-caps, and expect these two indices on the BSE to hit a fresh high after a gap of nearly two years. Though they caution against the intermittent market correction, the broad trend, they believe, remains up. 

Among the star performers in the broader market, names like Dixon Technologies, Laurus Labs, and Aarti Drugs have leaped between 230 per cent and 395 per cent so far in the calendar year 2020 and stand as the top wealth creators of this year. In comparison, the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex has risen just 11.5 per cent till December 22. So, should you continue to hold these stocks in your portfolio? Here's what charts suggest:

Dixon Technologies (India) Limited (DIXON): The stock has tripled during the current calendar year from the levels of Rs 3,800 to around Rs 12,535. This astonishing move is substantial and advocates further upside.
