About the company:
Nilkamal, a famous brand that needs little introduction, is Asia’s largest manufacturer of moulded plastic furniture. With a strong market presence and superior brand value, it comes as no surprise that Nilkamal is an absolute multibagger stock.
There was a time when Nilkamal overstretched its limits and suffered a setback. The company had tried to expand too fast and it backfired. This multibagger stock was previously facing problems in its retail division ‘@ home’ and they suffered considerable losses due to over-expenditure on the part of the company and the cautious spending of people. But the company turned these losses into gains by well-implemented strategic moves. The management decided to control their spending and focus on their core expertise instead.
The potential of this stock to become a multibagger is huge as the spending habits of Indians is undergoing a sea change and the amount of expendable income in the hands of people is also going up steadily. The company has several segments like moulded furniture, material handling, mattress, @Home and Home Ideas.
