Why Invest in the Most Expensive Shares in India?
Expensive stocks have merit. That said, we’re not going to discussing whether the pricing of these shares is fair or not. What we will focus on instead is the potential for growth.
Imagine investing in a share that’s priced at ₹50,000 and getting an annualized return of 10%. By the end of year 1, you’ll have ₹55,000.
This will be ₹66,550 by year 3. Now imagine investing in a share that costs 500 with the same 10% returns. By year 1, it’ll be ₹550 and by year 3, you’ll have ₹666.
This is the primary advantage of investing in the costliest shares in India. Furthermore, not many can afford to or will be willing to buy costly shares because of the price point, making these shares relatilvely less volatile compared to others.
But the devil lies in the details. The fact that you can make more gains with smaller percentage moves on a costly share also means that you stand to make significantly high losses if the price moves against you. That’s another point to keep in mind before buying any expensive share.
