Coverage universe

What we cover, and why

Story of a Stock covers a deliberately small universe of mid- and small-cap Indian companies, researched from their own source documents — earnings-call transcripts, investor presentations, and annual reports.

Why mid and small caps

We read where nobody else is reading

The top-100 companies are followed by dozens of analysts; another research layer there adds little. Below the top 100, analyst coverage thins out fast — for many mid and small caps, the quarterly concall is the only qualitative record of how the business is actually going, and almost nobody reads it systematically. That is exactly the work this platform does: every covered company's source documents, read and tracked quarter after quarter.

Coverage rules

How the universe is kept

Mid and small caps only

New companies join coverage only if they are mid or small cap under AMFI's semi-annual classification — large cap is the top 100 companies by average market capitalization, mid cap is 101–250, small cap is 251 and beyond.

Graduates stay

A covered company that grows into the top 100 is not removed. Finding a business early and following it as it compounds is the point — graduation is the best outcome coverage can have.

Bands refresh with AMFI

Market-cap bands update after each AMFI publication (January–June and July–December), so classifications track the market rather than a stale snapshot.

Large caps we already covered

Still here, just not on the boards

A handful of large caps were covered before this policy took shape. Their pages remain fully available — you can reach them through search or a direct link — but they no longer appear on the leaderboards, homepage, or sector views, which rank the mid/small-cap universe only.
