LUMAX AUTO TECHNOLOGIES LTD - LONG TERM BUY




 

  
Sharp crashes in market always creates panick situations ,especially in retail investors . Main reason for such a fear is – investment using leveraged funds and lack of conviction and confidence in  the company where  we invested.Only a small minority loving such crashes and taking it as an opportunity to buy quality companies at cheap rates.We must realise that the share price of any company depends mainly on two factors – one is  the business growth of that particular company which in many case depends on the over all growth of economy and the other is the over all mood of investors in stock market.In a market/economy situation like the current one  many prophets are appearing in business channels and predicting  the index targets as 5000,4000.3000 and so on.Hearing such targets we are not ready  to think whether the stock price of  a specific company already reflecting a major portion of negatives or not and take action accordingly.On the other side ,while buying stocks in such dooms day we should not  expect return from next day onwards but take it as an opportunity to grab quality names at throw away prices for creating wealth in long term.Buying in small lots  at various levels will help to get stocks  at a reasonable average in such volatile times.The main point to remember in a situation like this is – never invest using leveraged and time bounded funds and never expect return from the very next day onwards.

                                                                         Many good auto ancillary companies are now trading around their life time low prices which offer good opportunity for long term investors. Lumax Auto Technologies ( LAT) is one such company  which supplying two wheeler chassis, Adjustor Motors  ,Exhaust systems & Mufflers, Fork & Handle Bar Assemblies, Petrol tanks, , Auto lightings ..etc to two and three wheelers.Company is a major supplier to Honda Motors,Bajaj Auto,Piaggio,Tata Group ..etc from its 6 plants located across India.

  4. I think they are major suppliers for Bajaj Discover line as well. Which Rahul Bajaj announced that they are going to launch 6-7 variants in coming 3-6 months. So yeah the stock looks attractive but are there are concerns from long term investors that were invested in it? If you see it has consistently gone down from 150 levels. Also there was some corporate governance issue related to one of the director of the company which they have corrected but nevertheless a company to keep an eye on

    1. Even if there is some quality related issues for Wockhardt .I am positive on this stock for long term .It is one of the large size pharma company available at very attractive valuation.But considering the pending decision of USFDA in the case of some other plants ,some risk is also there.Management seems taking the issues very seriously and implementing various changes at different levels to sort out this problem.I believe company will come out of these issues earlier than the market expectation.At present it is suitable only for brave hearts.


      Positive on Lupin
