During the last five trading sessions leading up to October 3, the Sensex stayed mostly flat with a mild upward tilt, inching up by just 47 points to close at 81,207. The benchmark index finished in the green on only two of those five sessions (from September 25 to October 3). Despite the broader market’s lackluster and somewhat volatile performance, nine small-cap stocks managed to post gains across all five sessions. (Data Source: ACE Equity)
