Small-caps: Not a time to panic, but to review & think long term. 5 stocks from various sectors with an upside potential of over 30%

What is the difference between end-2024, when the correction began, and the start of 2025? In the initial phase in October-November, it was large-caps that bore the brunt.

Here’s a story about a small-cap company for perspective. For decades, its performance was mediocre at best. But it is now a success, making batteries used in EVs and other new energy ecosystems. The stock has seen a re-rating in the last couple of years. What should you do? Sell, because it has seen a sharp correction and the fear of Trump is roiling global markets? Or not?
