The year 2022 was a roller coaster ride for the Indian markets. While the benchmark indices hit their record highs in early December, however, they later consolidated to fall around 2 percent for the month of December till date. In 2022 year-to-date (YTD), the benchmarks Nifty and Sensex are up nearly 6 percent each.

"India’s relative attractiveness over the medium to long term, among other factors, will depend on the manufacturing sector becoming a key driver of growth (PLI and China+1), and private sector investment cycle revival driven by manufacturing sector growth. Post strong 40 percent earnings growth in FY22, we expect net profits of the Nifty-50 Index to grow by 10 percent in FY23E, by 16.4 percent in FY24E and by 15.8 percent in FY25E. Currently, the Nifty50 index is trading at a PE of 22.1x FY23E, 19.1x on FY24E and 16.5x on FY25E earnings. Use opportunities arising from market correction to add quality stocks (with attractive valuation) from a long-term investment perspective," said Kotak Institutional Equities in a note.

Despite the volatility during the year, 6 stocks have surged over 345 percent, giving exceptional returns in this turbulent year. However, it is important to note that these are mainly small-cap/penny stocks. While investors have made huge profits on such stocks, it is key to remain cautious and vigilant. While these stocks can give exceptional returns, they are high-risk stocks and can also decline massively on any related news. Only high-risk investors should invest in such stocks and in very small weightage. Please consult your financial advisor before making any changes to your portfolio.

Challenges associated with such stocks emanate from the fact that these are very small companies with negligible analyst coverage, very limited information on the public domain and often inaccessible insights from the management.
