multibagger stocks: Retail warriors defeat FII, MF bears to earn multibagger returns from these 9 stocks

The increasing clout of Dalal Street’s retail army can be clearly noticed in a pack of nine stocks which have given multibagger returns in FY24 despite seeing selling by both the big boys – FIIs and mutual funds.

An analysis of companies with a market capitalisation of over Rs 500 crore shows that there are at least 64 counters where smart money ownership went down in the September quarter but the stock still gave positive returns in the ongoing financial year as the retail holding went up.

Out of these 64 scrips, we have filtered down 9 stocks that have more than doubled investor wealth in FY24 so far.

“We believe the stock has more than factored in any probable benefits (of recent acquisition of two merchant coal blocks), which will accrue after four-five years and, hence, does not provide any upside,” Nuvama said while giving a reduce rating on the stock.

2) Kalyan Jewellers
Kalyan Jewellers saw MF holding going down from 4.52% to 3.87% in Q2 and FII holding from 27.09% to 26.56%. Retail investors braved sell calls by the big boys to raise their stake from 3.79% to 4.99% in Q2.

In the September quarter, the company reported 33% YoY growth in its standalone revenue to Rs 7,395 crore.

3) Inox Wind Energy
Inox Wind Energy, which is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of wind turbine generators and erection, procurement and commissioning services, had retail investors raising their stake to 9.38%.

The multibagger stock has given nearly 3 times return to investors in FY24 but FIIs pared stake to 4.87% in Q2. MFs owned a 1.2% stake in the company at the end of the September quarter.

“The deepening of reach in the EV space would further add to the revenues going forward. Overall, the investments done in the past are fructifying now, with the conviction that the pace of growth should continue in FY25 as well.
