Multibagger shares

Hi, Motley fool seem to run numerous articles on so called multibagger shares - no doubt it's what draws the readers in. Its got me intrigued though, out of interest if people had to choose 1 stock to hold for the next decade with the greatest multibagger potential what would it be?

If we knew that we would all be in it. It might be a share that we have never heard of. Here is a list of the shares which I currently hold, with the IRR of my holding and the IRR of a single share from the original date when first bought:

There are a wide range of holding periods, from 51 years to less than a year. The difference between my holding and that of a single share is down to a number of factors, top-slicing when overweight, topping up when underweight and possibly return of capital via special dividends or B-share issues in certain cases.

This is not a guide to the future, just a snapshot of the past. You will see that IMI and RIO top the two lists, mainly due to having been bought when the share price was much lower than today. IMI was first bought at 2665p and today is over £16. RIO was first bought at £22 and is now £44.60. If you pick 20 shares that you fancy today, one or two may do very well, others follow the market trends and one or two may disappear through take-over or failure.

I'm afraid that you have to make your own decisions.

The problem is this is that the shares with the greatest potential tend to come with a lot of risk, usually because they are small companies with unproven products with with the possibility that some product of theirs will become transformative.

A good example is a small biotech research company that always makes losses but then makes a spectacular discovery (which often leads to a rapid takeover by a large pharmaceutical company). Moderna three years ago is a great example of a multibagger.

Another sector with huge prospects (both of gains and losses) is small oil and gas exploration companies. From past experience I've owned shares in which produced results ranging from 60 x growth to a 99% loss. Similar results can be obtained with early stage technology and biotechnology shares, as well as miners which are predominately explorers. Most of these companies crash and burn, there's an entire industry built around promoting the "next big thing".

My pick for best prospective multibagger over the next few years (which I own):

Lions Gate Entertainment. Relatively small American film and television studio with some streaming interests and a highly volatile share price. Currently $13.48, back in 2017 Hasbro reportedly offered $40 a share which management rejected. I am hopeful that Lions Gate will be taken over in the next couple of years at a substantial premium to its current share price (possibly more than $40), as the streaming market consolidates with providers looking for more content. When the privately held MGM was put up for sale, Amazon buying it at a big premium to the initial price provided a huge boost to Lions Gate's share price earlier this year. The big downside is that it may never be bought at a high price and management is very highly paid for running a company of this size.

(A) I wouldn't
(B) If I had to , probably a pharma

I hold AZN and GSK. AZN has done well and GSK hasn't , although it's done pretty well as a pseudo-bond oscillating around 1500

I'd offer up two (I know you said one!).. Schroders (SDRC non voting) and Legal & General. Not multi baggers but they should do ok.

If I had to choose only 1 share to hold for a decade I would look at the limited downside, not the (huge) potential upside.

But that wasn't the question which, to me at least, seemed to be simply asking for people's first choice for a LTBH punt on a potential multibagger, not "If you had to put all your eggs in one basket...". Your addition of "only" certainly removes any possible ambiguity in the question, but not necessarily (and, in my view, probably not) correctly.

FWIW, money where my mouth is, Micro Focus International (MCRO) - which has a lot of upside potential if it doesn't go bust!

If the OP seeks a share that might go up by a factor of, say, 100 then I would agree. But then you really would not want to be invested in only one such share, due to the risk. As with your small expro energy companies, you would need to spread them around. For that purpose I hold about 15 AIM shares. A few of them have tripled or quadrupled in a few years, a couple have halved in price and one has gone to zero!

Depends what the OP means by "multibagger" really. My positions in Apple and Amazon are both up about sixfold in just a few years, and both are huge, safe companies. But my biggest winner was a small company I bought at IPO. It was taken over a few years later, by which point I was up 25-fold.

Ok, for clarity. If I was in a position where I had to choose just one share to hold for the next decade from the subset of possible shares that had multibagger potential, hypothetical as that scenario is, I would choose the one from that selection that offered the greatest downside protection.

It would make little material difference to me if that investment strategy and "portfolio" doubled, tripled, or multiplied 50-fold. It would have a huge asymmetric impact on me if it reduced 90%.

If instead the OP is looking for a list of shares with multi-bagging potential I would have difficulty providing just one from those I own. I have admitted to this site a number of shares I own, and I also regularly contribute to

Stocks and Share Dealing Discussions viewforum.php?f=33

and

Company Share News ... viewforum.php?f=94

and as advice to a new site user I would recommend searching the multiple threads listed there for ideas from multiple respected users for inspiration if required.

Looking at my multi baggers, they fall into 2 categories - the long term growth category where over the decades a good company carries on doing well, with the odd ups and downs - and secondly the market opportunity category where the market temporarily crashes the share price as it thinks the company is not going to make it but I felt they would get through the temporary difficulties and were basically solid businesses. Where I have never ever had a multi bagger is in the sort of mature company that goes into HYP portfolios. Examples of each of these are Scottish Mortgage and Barratt.

I've had a few multi debagger HYP shares, but that is a title for another thread! :)

Actually, looking at it, I have (LGEN and PRU) but that was in my second category (SP collapsed in financial crisis, so bought and SP now 4 or 5 times cost), so you are right, it can happen!

I would hope that any share I invest in becomes a multi-bagger. High growth is great but slow and steady can win the race.

My current holdings from my SIPP and dividend growth portfolios (duplicates eliminated) - this ignores the substantial dividend return, particularly of the older holdings. Diageo, for e.g., has returned a multiple of its book cost in dividends alone. Sorted by total share price gain to their recent peak:



And by CAGR (ignore for shorter periods!) Those held for a year or less just have the total return as the CAGR. The 'sweet spot' has been companies such as Diploma and Renishaw which have returned over 20% CAGR for 9-10 years. However, I have no objection to the Kainoses of this world which have only achieved 71% CAGR for four years.


For collectives, Smithson represents 50% or so of my SIPP so I have some confidence / hope in it!

As regards individual shares, I bought PayPal in April 2020 and Evolution in January 2021. Both had more than doubled in short order, Evolution doing so (in Swedish currency terms) in twelve weeks or so and PayPal in a little over a year (although both have come off the boil a bit recently). I'm hoping for continued growth in both cases. DP Poland has potential but then I have thought that for years!

Best wishes


Mark.

HGEN. I have taken a holding in given the push for using hydrogen.
I hold ITM. That became a multibagger for me.

Angle PLC - they develop products for use in rare (cancer) cell diagnostics. They are awaiting FDA approval for one of their products, which is likely to send the share price sharply upwards if granted.

I fundamentally hate even trying to answer this question, because investing is about risk AND reward, and how you balance the two.

For every multibagger you hit, you will have many attempted multibaggers that go wrong.

Even so, if I had to pick one FTSE stock right now with potential to return several hundred percent over the next decade I would chose a very distressed company like Cineworld, Purple Bricks, or Aston Martin where the shareprice is trading at just a fraction of their highs.


However, I don't own any of these stocks at the moment, because its impossible to do any sort of forecasting for them, and therefore they don't fulfill the requirement of having a margin of safety. Having a strategy, and have the discipline to follow is what will make me a successful investor, not trying to pick the next moonshot.

If AIM stocks are included, I'm expecting good things from Synairgen (SYN) who are currently in phase III trial with their SNG001 inhaled interferon anti-viral targeting respiratory infections. It's potential goes well beyond COVID, having originally been developed with COPD in mind.

Could be fireworks in the short term with the read out of the phase III due in the next few months.
