While many investors chased the thrill of smallcap stocks—drawn by the classic “high risk, high reward” dream—the steady giants quietly stole the spotlight. In FY26 so far, the BSE Largecap index climbed nearly 10%, comfortably outperforming the BSE Smallcap index, which rose about 5%.
Large-cap investors, who typically park their money in well-established, financially strong companies, aim for stability over spectacle. And this year, that patience paid off. In fact, around 36 large-cap stocks surged between 25% and 80% in FY26 so far. Even more impressive, 12 of these stocks delivered returns exceeding 50% in less than a year—quietly creating substantial wealth for those who believed in strength over speculation.
