Lakhpati stocks: These stocks turned Rs 10K into Rs 10 lakh

It took 1,647 sessions for BSE Sensex to close above 50,000-mark for the first time on February 3, 2021 from 25,000 on June 5, 2014.

However, select stocks in the broader market managed to deliver humongous returns to investors despite uncertainties in the form demonetisation, implementation of GST, RERA, volatile crude prices, NBFC crisis and Covid-19 pandemic.

Starting with the top gainer, shares of Tanla Platforms have soared 10,112% to Rs 703.65 at present from Rs 6.89 on June 5, 2014. The rise in share price indicates that an investment of Rs 10,000 in the company in 2014 would have now become over Rs 10 lakh. This is the power of the buy-and-hold strategy.

Tanla, earlier known as Tanla Solutions, is a cloud communications provider based in Hyderabad.

Going ahead, brokerage Axis Securities believes that Nifty may hit 16,000-mark by December 2021. “Even as sector rotation plays out, valuations across sectors like consumer, IT and pharmaceuticals are likely to sustain while industrials, cement, real estate and BFSI will re-rate. We will be re-looking into our earnings projection for Nifty after the quarterly results seasons.”

The brokerage house is positive on stocks like ICICI Bank, Manappuram Finance, Canfin Homes, Federal Bank, Bharti Airtel, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, Varun Beverages, Relaxo Footwears, Amber Enterprises, Nocil, Endurance Technologies, Steel Strip Wheels, Lupin and JK Lakshmi Cement.
