Lakshmi Machine Works Limited Stock Performance
The stock has given more than 60 times return in past 16 years or so. This is commendable from any standard. The dividend yield is also good with just below 1% at current market price.
The price chart is more or less incremental improvement over the years with exception in year 2008. The global crisis hit the Company hard and it started trading below 500 mark from 4,000 mark before the global crisis.
It took it 6 long years to touch the heights before 2008 crisis. But since then it has given consistent return to investors.In long term it has created wealth for investors.
Lakshmi Machine Works Limited My Opinion
Lakshmi Machine Works Limited is a Textile Machinery sector Company. Though I am clubbing it under Textiles Machinery segment over the years the Company has diversified itself into different business.
Textile Machinery is the oldest business vertical of the Company and most formidable one. It is major revenue source of the Company. Along with it slowly it is concentrating on new business verticals to increase sales and revenue.
Textile Machinery is a stable business division as Textile industry is evergreen sector. Though it does not have very much growth opportunity. The industry is stable and saturated.
The other verticals like Aerospace manufacturing is new thing in India and not too many companies are listed in this space. With focus of Government on Make in India it is one sector which will get benefited hugely in future.
As of now I am not invested in this Company but I am tracking this Company closely. I may choose to invest in future.
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.
