Amitabh Bachchan multibagger stock zooms over 700 per cent; makes a fresh 52-week high!

Now, the question arises: Is the Shahenshah of Bollywood also a Shahenshah when it comes to investing?

The Shahenshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, has long been hailed as a legend in the Indian film industry. Known for his remarkable acting prowess and versatility, Bachchan's contribution to Indian cinema is unparalleled. However, there's another aspect of his life that has caught the attention of the public—the veteran actor's keen interest in investing. And mind you, he has proven to be more than just a casual investor; he has demonstrated a remarkable streak of smart investment choices. One such example is his investment in DP Wires Ltd, a leading steel wire manufacturer in India, which has witnessed an impressive surge in its stock price.  

DP Wires Ltd is a prominent player in the Indian market, known for its expertise in steel wire production. According to the company's financials, the Wire Division accounted for a staggering 84 per cent of the total revenue in the fiscal year 2022-2023, while the Trading Division and Plastic Product Division contributed 14 per cent and 2 per cent, respectively. The company's product portfolio includes various offerings such as LRPC Strands, Induction Tempered Wire, Steel Wire and Geomembrane Sheet.  

Among DP Wires' notable achievements is its position as one of India's top three largest manufacturers of LRPC Strands, a term that may be unfamiliar to many. LRPC stands for Low Relaxation Prestressed Concrete, which is widely used in construction projects. These strands are an essential component in reinforcing concrete structures, providing them with enhanced strength and durability. LRPC Strands find applications in a wide range of construction works, including bridges, high-rise buildings and precast concrete elements. The importance of these strands in ensuring the structural integrity of construction projects cannot be overstated.   

In recent times, DP Wires' stock has reached new heights, marking a fresh all-time high of Rs 507. The company's stock has been on a remarkable upward trajectory, delivering multibagger returns of over 700 per cent in the past three years. This impressive performance can be attributed to several factors, including the efficient management of the company and its commitment to growth and profitability.  

Interestingly, Amitabh Bachchan holds a 2.45 per cent stake in DP Wires as of the quarter ended March 31, 2023. While he has shown his faith in the company's potential, he also made a strategic move in May when he offloaded some of his shares at an average price of Rs 411.72. This indicates that Bachchan possesses not only an astute investment sense but also an understanding of market dynamics and the importance of taking calculated actions.  

DP Wires' outstanding performance can be further attributed to its consistent profit growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33 per cent over the past five years. Additionally, the company has improved its debtor days, reducing them from 42.4 to 26.1 days. Furthermore, DP Wires has successfully reduced its working capital requirement from 63.9 days to 37.9 days, demonstrating efficient management of its financial resources.  

Amitabh Bachchan's foray into the investment world and his smart choices, as exemplified by his investment in DP Wires Ltd, certainly make for an intriguing discussion. Now, the question arises: Is the Shahenshah of Bollywood also a Shahenshah when it comes to investing?

Whether Mr Amatab Bachan is a trade investor like late Rakesh Junjunwala, or he is following Mr. Warren Buffet strategy.

What rate he has purchased this script not mentioned. The script is moving up as market is in bull run.

Please give your inputs keeping the interest of retail investors, clearly mentioning risk factors too pertains to the script and the industry to which the script comes under, not like a soap apera advertisements.

Sr. Bachchan burned his fingers when ABC Corporation went bankrupt. His intention was good at that time but failed miserably. AB did come back triumphantly with big hits, KBC serials and no. 1 ad actor. He could get some profits from stock investment, Luck favours brave and AB is perfect example.
