Bottom line

Mid-cap companies are often considered to have a track record of better returns and liquidity as compared to penny and small-cap companies. However, mid-cap stocks can also come with risks factors that investors need to evaluate.

Therefore, be it mid-cap stocks or otherwise, investors should positively research companies, especially their financials and fundamentals, before making any sort of investment.
