Jefferies has initiated coverage on 16 stocks as 'Buys', all of which are in the small and midcap space. The brokerage firm believes that there is a higher share of domestic economy stocks in the SMID space and that SMIDs will continue to outperform large-cap stocks going forward. There is a dearth of medium-cap investment ideas and only 3 Nifty-50 components account for 5% of the market cap belonging to the industrial and realty group in the large-cap section. Conversely, 18-20% of the SMID market cap is made up of industrial and realty companies.
