Which share is the most expensive in the stock market in India?
There are two ways to look at this, the stock price and the stock P/E. Obviously, both the terms have different meanings, but I know you guys are here to know about the most expensive stocks in terms of the stock price.
I think you might have an idea about the most expensive stock in the Indian stock market, if not, don’t sweat. Its MRF, the stock price is around 90,000 at the moment, and it started from a mere 11 rs in 1993. In 28 years, the stock gave a multi-fold return. And I know you would love to know how much you could have made had you invested in MRF at 100rs.
So, if you had invested 1 Lakh rs when the stock was around 100rs, you would have 1,000 shares in your Demat account. Now its current price is 90,000, simply multiply it by 1,000, and you would get Rs 9 crore. This is without taking in the dividend or any other bonus into the account.
What does the above example tell you? Well, patience is the key to make good money in stocks. Invest for the long-term (10-20 years period). Don’t worry about corrections, in fact, you should buy more stocks when the market is down.
