Four companies, four results that deserved more attention. A quick thread 🧵

The RBI hiked the repo rate to 5.50% on 7 October, its first hike since February 2023. The usual reflex: higher rates, weaker stocks. We tested that against every RBI hike since 2006. Here’s what the Nifty 500 actually did 🧵

What this means for investors: 1. A rate hike isn’t automatically bearish 2. Continued tightening hasn’t meant greater weakness 3. The bigger swings came when the hiking stopped

Bottom line: rate hikes have been a poor standalone predictor of short-term equity returns. The better question is how growth, expectations, and earnings are moving alongside policy. This shows what followed hikes, not what they caused.

We tracked 1,075 Indian companies from Dec 2017 to Jun 2026. Every listed company worth ₹500cr+ at the start. 18 six-month snapshots. Tracked by ISIN so mergers and renames don't break the trail. The multibagger numbers you've read are mostly wrong. Here's why 🧵

Half of today's market wasn't even here. The ₹500cr+ club nearly doubled: 1,075 to 1,841. 880 from the 2017 class. 961 new. Recent IPOs, demergers, and small caps that just grew. CG Power, BSE and Adani Green all started under ₹10,000cr and are large caps today.

None of this says don't buy small caps. It says the odds of a 5x are ~1 in 5, the odds of keeping it are ~1 in 7, and roughly half your basket will halve on the way there. Position sizes should be built for that. Most aren't.
