Porinju’s philosophy that one should invest in “cheap” stocks of so-called “low quality” promoters makes him the favourite punching bag for purists who believe that investing in high-quality blue chip stocks is the only way to grow rich. The purists spare no effort to slam Porinju and his investment philosophy every time he dares to air them.
However, the fact of the matter is that while Porinju is raking in mega multibagger gains from his low quality stocks, the purists are barely eking out a living from their blue chip stocks.
Porinju’s latest stock pick in Vadilal Industries. In an interview to Bloomberg on 20th March 2015, Porinju urged investors to take a look at this micro-cap stock. Porinju’s logic was that Vadilal Industries is one of the largest players in then organized ice cream business and it has a well-known brand. “It can become a company with a market cap of 600-700 crore” in the next few years, Porinju said with immense confidence in his voice.
“Maybe they are not great managements, they are not high quality companies, but if you make a portfolio of such 10 or 12 stocks, they are going to outperform any Nifty, Sensex or Page Industries or Sun Pharmas in this Country over a period of time” Porinju added with the air of a prophet.
Well, we have to compliment Porinju for his brilliant analysis. On that fateful day when he made the recommendation, Vadilal Industries was quoting at Rs. 240. Today, barely 100 days later, Vadilal Industries stands firm at Rs. 762. This means that Porinju and his vast legion of followers have taken home incredible gains of 210%.
Now, the best part is that despite the humongous gains, Vadilal Industries is still a micro-cap with a market capitalisation of only Rs. 546 crore.
Does it have the wherewithal to give investors more gains even from this stage is the question on every investors’ mind!
And now Mr. Kacholia is also in it.

Ashish Kacholia has brought stake in Man industries.. can you please provide report on that
I am a newbie on this site but I am a little confused as to why the stock is running up so much. It has jumped from a PE of 15 (FY12) to a PE of 221 in almost 3 years. 🙂 That would more that the stock is 10 times more expensive.
The NP ratio is dismal (less than 2%), the Debt/Equity is almost 3 and there seems no real trigger for the stock. The ROE is nothing to write home about (you’ll get more in a debt mutual fund).
Am I missing something or is this another pump and dump stock operation in progress?
Porinju bought Sahyadri Industries
Actually full credit of identifying Vadilal at lower level goes to a blogger named valuepick. He recommended this stock @ Rs.105 in his blog . Many of the multibaggers , you are giving credit to some well known investors/fund managers are identified by that blogger . I bought Avanti Feed @ Rs.74 ( he recommended Avanti @ Rs.68)

But I am surprised to see you never mentioned anything about that blogger and giving credit to someone for identifying these gems . I am one regular reader of the said blog and if I am not commenting at least this here , that will be a big injustice .
This is a smart guy…..he advocates looking at companies and not at China,US FED and Bullshit news that keeps clouding our judgement.
