Motilal Oswal retains Buy on three stocks with 39-46% upside
A company called Motilal Oswal helps people decide which companies might be good to invest money in.
It looked at three companies in India and said it thinks they are good buys.
These companies make clothes, dental products, and bags and suitcases.
Motilal Oswal says the shares of these companies could become worth 39 to 46 percent more than they are now.
Gokaldas Exports makes clothes and did well selling in Africa and India.
Laxmi Dental makes dental products and grew because people in other countries wanted them.
VIP Industries makes bags and suitcases and has been having a harder time lately.
Its sales grew only a little and it lost money in the last quarter.
Even so, Motilal Oswal believes VIP Industries can turn things around with new products and better advertising.
Remember, buying shares can be risky, so it is smart to ask a grown-up financial advisor first.
Motilal Oswal retained 'Buy' ratings on Gokaldas Exports (target Rs 1,110), Laxmi Dental (target Rs 280) and VIP Industries (target Rs 430), implying 46%, 40% and 39% upside respectively.
Gokaldas Exports reported a 20.7% year-on-year revenue rise to Rs 1,150 crore in Q1 FY27, driven by growth in its Africa and India businesses, with EBITDA margin at 9.8%.
Motilal Oswal expects around 215 basis points of margin expansion for Gokaldas Exports over FY26-28 as business integration stabilises.
Laxmi Dental's Q1 FY27 revenue rose 14% to Rs 74.7 crore, with EBITDA up 20.6% to Rs 14.4 crore and adjusted PAT up 23% to Rs 10.3 crore, helped by international demand and a revival in its aligner business.
VIP Industries posted weak Q1 results with consolidated revenue up just 3% to Rs 580 crore and losses at EBITDA and PAT levels, but the brokerage sees a turnaround via premiumisation, new products and brand-building.
Motilal Oswal projects revenue, EBITDA and PAT compound annual growth rates of 18%, 34% and 35% for Laxmi Dental between FY26-28.
