The analysis conducted by Nuvama is based on the stock price movement between July and September. Analysts try to predict the stocks that are likely to get upgraded or downgraded.
Typically, those which migrate from midcap to largecaps and smallcaps to midcaps tend to outperform.
Among the newly-listed companies, Jio Financial Services, hived off from Reliance Industries (RIL), is expected to get added to the large-cap universe.
JSW Infrastructure, which got listed on Tuesday, could get a place among 150-midcaps, while over two dozen others that have got listed in the past three months will have to settle with a ‘smallcap’ tag.
