Navin Fluorine International Ltd Stock Performance
The stock performance can be divided into two parts.One from year 2003 to 2014 and other from year 2014 till date. The stock traded almost flat giving some positive returns to investors during first ten years. This was not a good period to invest.
But last few years were great for the Company. It zoomed or gave 10 times return in past few years (that is from 2014 till date). It was complete rerating of the stock. The dividend yield is also good at more than 1%. The stock has made money for the investors.
Navin Fluorine International Ltd My Opinion
Navin Fluorine International Ltd is a Chemicals Company.It mainly deals with Fluoride based chemicals. Fluorides have wide range of applications most common one is Refrigeration.
Along with production of specific molecules it has custom service for customers as well. It does custom chemical syntheses of fluorinated compounds for the pharmaceuticals, agro chemicals and speciality chemicals industries.
It is good to see specialized focus from the Company. Small companies with niche set of products which have demand should be preferred by investors.This one fits in the bill. However it has ran too much in last few years and I am expecting cooling period.
One should always remember it is entry price in a Company which matters and determines your profit. So you should track the Company and compare with others present in this niche before making a decision. I already have Chemical stock in my portfolio and do not want to invest in more as of now.
In case you are interested then you can track the company by adding it to your stock watch list. That way you can keep close eye on the Company.
