MY TAKE 
Lahoti overseas is a well run and well managed company. Their business model of an asset light approach, is working well and evident from the strong cash flows. With focus on high quality of products and customer relationship, the company is going from strength to strength.

The promoters have been financially very prudent. The market value of their real estate and financial assets could almost cover up to 70 - 80% of the company's current market cap. In other words, the share holder is getting his shares free. This is a case of having your cake and eating it too. In addition to that, the regular dividend payout. Icing on the cake :-)

This stock has all the attributes of a potential multibagger, with almost no negatives. From current levels, the stock could head much higher over the near and medium term. The only thing needed for an investor is the patience.  

Lahoti is a potential multibagger!!

Important Note: Potential multibaggers are those stocks which have potential to give 100 - 500% profits. Obviously such returns take time. Probably 2 - 3 years or more. Short term volatality is the reality of the stock market and that will always happen. Short term movements(upside and downside) are impossible to predict. Only invest funds that you will not need for the next 3 - 4 years. As long as you buy a stock for the right reason and are convinced about the future prospects of the company, there is no need to worry if the share price goes down and stays down for a period of time after you buy; provided you have followed the cardinal stock market mantra BUY LOW.  

Very important note: The objective of this blog is to share knowledge and info about multibagger ideas/opportunities. Neither is this trading website nor an analyst website nor a Buy/Sell call website. For stock market success, always do your home work, own assessment and make your own decisions.
