It’s because of the illogical ESM framework. Has it not been ESM, the upside would have been adjusted in 2-3 days max.

If I recollect, the business line article during IPO, that mentioned, the Data Patterns have a moat of recurring revenue streams of around 25-30%, which is a major differentator with other defence companies.
This might help.

@raj_shrikhande – Thank you for showing Interest in my Portfolio…

I am sad to Inform that my father passed away on 1st May ’23. He had to be hopitalised multiple times in March/April last year and finally in May he breathed his last. He being retired Govt employee did have health Insurance but hospital did not allow cash-less admission and advised to pay in cash and claim Insurance later.

Because I had to arrange lot of cash, I sold most of myself and my wife’s portfolio stocks in the month of Feb-March in panic. Sometimes later, I sold mutual fund investments also. So, from Feb end to May 2023 end, I did not think of stocks etc as I was with my father and then performing his last rites / 13-day rituals etc.

From June 23, I slowly started about my investment again. I did not know where to start – should I buy again the same stocks that I sold? but I decided to restart with fresh mind…

Our Valuepickr forum is my 1st Teacher. My modus operandi – whenever I come across any company discussion here, I put that company through Screener.in – my 2nd Teacher – and check every section and then open Investor presentation / concall transcripts etc.

Also, I am following this website of Association of Mutual Funds India – amfiindia.com which releases the list of stocks traded in BSE and NSE with average marketcap of last 6 months:

I downloaded the file of July-Dec 2022, just to glance through stocks and mark those companies which I am interested in – with my eyes on market capitalization – it gives a sense of how big or small the company is w.r.t others around it!

Note: I have written a line or two for my Wife portfolio stocks as we are convinced of the stocks and hopeful of long term holding. This portfolio is more or less done – except for M&M as I am more biased towards smallcap/midcap stocks.

But my portfolio has become QSQT ie Quarter se Quarter thak
I have been doing lot of churning in my portfolio. Some of the stocks I bought and sold Include Zomato, Solar Industries, Policy Bazar, Tejas Networks, Ramakrishna Forgings etc. Sold SJS and bought it again! There is confusion in my mind about growth v/s valuation etc. I need some more time to construct my portfolio. I have decided to give 2 more quarters i.e till Fy 24-25 end. I still have some cash with me from insurance reimbursement etc.

I Thank fellow Valuepickers
