Anshul Saigal, CIO & Founder, Saigal Capital Advisors, says investors should focus on what they can control: owning quality companies at reasonable valuations. Addressing concerns over macro volatility and potential downside in the small-cap universe, Saigal says short-term market swings are difficult to predict but permanent capital loss can be reduced through portfolio quality and valuation discipline. He highlights earnings trajectory as the key factor determining stock performance over time. Saigal says recent quarterly numbers and company commentary point to an earnings uptick cycle. In his view, strong earnings can help markets absorb macro volatility, with stocks ultimately trending in line with the earnings trajectory. He also recalls how exiting small caps during a volatile period could have meant missing the subsequent rally, despite macro conditions remaining uncertain.
Anshul Saigal, CIO & Founder, Saigal Capital Advisors, says his portfolio has recently positioned itself in the CDMO pharma space, identifying what he sees as underappreciated opportunities. Saigal says India currently accounts for only around 4% of the global CDMO market, compared with China’s estimated 50–60% share. He expects even a modest shift in global CDMO activity away from China towards India to have a meaningful impact. According to Saigal, India’s pharma know-how and execution capabilities could support this opportunity, while global companies may increasingly seek to diversify supply chains for critical products. He also discusses how the portfolio has previously benefited from data centres, optical fibre and energy themes. Saigal says the CDMO space could see stronger investor interest going forward.
Anshul Saigal, CIO & Founder, Saigal Capital Advisors, names an energy stock held in his long-term portfolio and explains why he sees strong tailwinds for the oil and gas services space. Saigal says his firm bought Deep Energy earlier this year when the company was trading at single-digit multiples, with its business already performing well. He highlights the potential for higher oil and gas capital expenditure and compares the company to the “shovels” that benefit during a gold rush. Saigal says Deep Energy provides infrastructure and services to upstream oil and gas companies, including drilling and gas compression. He also points to ONGC’s recent gas discovery in the Mahanadi basin as a potential demand driver for oil and gas services. Saigal cautions that this is not a buy recommendation.
Are small-cap valuations stretched after the recent rally? Anshul Saigal, CIO & Founder of Saigal Capital Advisors, discusses the small-cap outlook amid rising bond yields, higher oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty. Saigal notes that investors who stayed in small caps from September 2024 through March 2026 saw significant portfolio declines before the small-cap index rallied more than 20%. However, he says valuations had undergone meaningful time and price corrections during the earlier period. Saigal also points to improving earnings and credit growth as important tailwinds. He cites around 19% credit growth, strong small-cap earnings growth and 7.8% GDP growth as factors supporting the broader investment case. He argues that investors should focus on earnings alongside valuations and avoid reacting purely to the recent rally when assessing small-cap opportunities.
Anshul Saigal, CIO & Founder of Saigal Capital Advisors, highlights a striking dichotomy in market sentiment. While companies remain positive about the short, medium and long-term outlook, investors have turned cautious after portfolios delivered limited returns over the past two years. Saigal says macro uncertainty has kept large caps and broader markets volatile, even as the underlying economy and corporate performance remain strong. He believes this divergence has created opportunities for stock pickers, with specific market segments delivering gains despite muted headline indices. Saigal says the current environment could be a period to build portfolios with a three-to-five-year horizon, rather than focusing only on broad-market performance. Watch the full conversation for his perspective on investor sentiment, stock-picking opportunities and how investors could approach a market where the headline indices have remained largely range-bound.
