My Take;


As for the Syncom formulation, it is the pharmaceutical industry and your query regarding it being a 'Multibagger Stock' seems to be a real one because we have a number of penny stocks specially from pharmaceutical sector that have given multifold return in the past to its shareholders. We saw Marksan Pharma and Lupin as a multibagger. It is therefore indispensable to see the market development of these stocks over a number of years;



Marksan Pharma: Headquartered in Mumbai, India, 'Marksans Pharma' is actively involved in R & D and provides CRAMS to international pharmaceutical companies. The shares of Marksan Pharma were traded at 71 paise per share on 7th March 2003 (even less than one rupee) and 114.15 on 19 August 2015. It turned out that this is a '100 bagger stock'.



Lupin: 'Lupin Limited' is a transnational pharmaceutical company based in Mumbai. It is the seventh-largest company after market capitalization; And the 10th largest generic pharmaceutical company by revenue on a global scale. The share of 'Lupin' traded on March 21, 2001, at 80 Paise per share (yes, it was too at less than a rupee) and achieved a high Rs. 2127 on October 1, 2015. Hence it turned to a 1000 Bagger Stock!


Syncom Formulations and Multibagger Expectation

Syncom Formulations (India) Ltd despite being a penny stock witnessing sound fundamental but its ROE is still poor; if it posts good numbers for few quarters, it may be a 'Multibagger Stock'; at the same time getting into such stocks is not suggested by the experts. With PE of 25, valuation wise it is not much attractive stock. So as a rule of thumb one should better forget about "multibagger" gains and focus on steady and reasonable valuations stocks. Most of the investors/traders are of the opinion; when there are so many fundamentally good shares/stocks why go for small and penny stocks with poor growth background? However at Current Market Price (CMP) risk reward ratio makes it good for risk-appetite investor.

  1. yeah, your analysis is sound,
    My take is "Surely it is 1000x baggar but with long term view of 5 years from now.

    best Policy to invest in such a stock is:
    Invest in a Systematic Way.
    Only 1000 per month
    In my opinion you will always remain in average profit.

  2. Thanks Imtiyaz Bhai!
    No one can say whether Syncom Formulation will be a 100 bagger or 1000 bagger stock yet we can do our best to identify a hidden gem.

    My opinion on current post is not to give any aggressive target nor I am a sebi certified advisor and this post is for purely educational purposes, please read disclaimer before reacting on the post.

    However, we have witnessed lots of small cap pharmaceutical companies in the past trading as penny stock then and now turned into large cap, so nobody knows if Syncom formulation becomes a new multibagger. All we can do is to study every updates of the company and to act accordingly. At the same time I am agree with you that the best policy to invest in such stock is systematic investment...
    Thanks again and be in touch.

  3. This is just an operating script....I am following this company since past one and half years and even though the company is debt free and regular dividend paying company, the share price of the company is not reflecting its true nature....Be aware and cautious before investing....I am not saying it will not hit but may take a long period...

  4. In my opinion, Syncom Formulations can see dizzy heights in the future. One major positive for this company is that Mr. Vivek Burman (Dabur Related) is continuously increasing its stake in the company. The daily volume on BSE for thjis share is on an average of 1 million (10 lacs) shares every day. It seems that cornering is taking place in the share and once the accumulation is over it will start its upward journey.
    Similar was the case with Shiva Cements which I have been tracking since 2013 and I had entered the same at that price. The price was hovering around 2 - 4 for almost 3 years. I was confident of the company since ACC was having a stake in the company and today it is quoting at Rs.19.15 on BSE. With JSW taking the controlling stake in the company the fortuen for the company has undergone a radical change. It has already proved 5 bagger in last 1 year period and still will be a multibagger from hereon also.
    I think Syncom Formulation can repeat the same story.
