Seven years as shareholder of Divi’s Laboratories

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.
