My investment in Divi’s Laboratories has been my biggest missed opportunity. Six years back—still new to equity investing—I was looking for Pharma stocks to invest. During that research—not sure if I should call it research, but let’s go with it—I came across Divi’s Laboratories. I made a small investment in it and forgot about it. In the next 3.5 years the stock went up 5 times! And I did not make a single new investment during that time! Every time I thought “it can’t go up any further than that”. Boy was I wrong. So, so wrong!
Since FY 2020-21, I have slowly started increasing my investments in Divi’s Laboratories. But the stock—on the other hand—has been volatile. During April’23 the stock went on a downward spiral and my XIRR went to -20%. What happened at that time? Finshots has an explanation for that.
Over the last fiscal year Divi’s Laboratories has slowly recovered and is now beating Nifty 50 by a razor thin margin. Yay! Hopefully this recovery continues.
