The National Stock Exchange (NSE) ranks stocks from 1 to 500 under the Nifty 500 index. This ranking is based on specific parameters that ensure a systematic and transparent selection process:
Topics of Discussion
Ranking Parameters
- Free Float Market Capitalisation: This is the total market capitalisation of a company, excluding the holdings of promoters and owners.
- Liquidity: Stocks with higher trading volumes and ease of transactions may rank higher, even if their free float market capitalisation is lower.
- Periodic Rebalancing: NSE rebalances its indices semi-annually based on a fixed formula. These rankings are objective, and no NSE member can influence the results.
Classification of Stocks
- Nifty 50 Stocks: Ranked 1 to 50
- Nifty Next 50 Stocks: Ranked 51 to 100
- Nifty Midcap 150 Stocks: Ranked 101 to 250
- Nifty Smallcap 250 Stocks: Ranked 251 to 500
Characteristics of Smallcap Stocks
- High Growth Potential: Smallcap stocks can deliver significant returns over time due to their growth prospects.
- High Volatility and Risk: These stocks are highly volatile and often carry greater business risk. Smaller companies may struggle to compete with established large and midcap firms, and their fundamentals are generally weaker.
- Liquidity Concerns: Lower liquidity can make these stocks susceptible to price manipulation. While NSE protects small investors by freezing trades at a 5% threshold, risks remain during bear markets when buyers are scarce.
- Trading Recommendation: Smallcap stocks are best suited for experienced traders. Beginners should exercise caution and may consider avoiding this segment due to its inherent risks.

When a stock reaches an all-time high, it signals strong underlying strength and positive market sentiment. Often, after such a rally, the stock may experience a pullback. This temporary decline should not be interpreted as weakness; rather, it is a natural consolidation phase that allows the stock to stabilize before its next upward move.
Once the stock reclaims its previous all-time high and ultimately breaks above it, this breakout demonstrates even greater internal strength than before. Such a move provides a strong indication that the stock is likely to continue its upward trajectory, presenting a favorable opportunity for investors.
