Best Low Price Shares to Buy for Long Term

Low price shares are basically penny stocks, which trade between a current market price of Rs 1 to Rs 100.

These low price shares are usually not known to a larger group of investors because there's not much information available about them.

Even if you manage to get some information, these companies have very little trading volume, volatile price swings and are speculative in nature.

But don't let all this drive you away from low price shares. If selected carefully, these low price stocks can be the 'X' factor for your portfolio.

Low price stocks come in with higher risks, but they offer potentially higher rewards.

You just need to filter out the fundamentally strong low price shares and hold on to them for the long term.

If you're looking for the best low price shares to buy for the long term, apply the following fundamental filters.

  • Last 10-years sales and profit growth greater that 10%
  • Cash on the books greater than total debt
  • Current ratio greater than 1. Ideally greater than 2
  • Return on Equity greater than 12%

Here are some don't when it comes to investing in low price shares:

  • Don't invest in a low price stock which is loss-making
  • Don't invest in a low price stock with promoter holding less than 50%
  • Don't invest in a low price stock that doesn't pay dividends

This step-by-step process will get you started in your hunt for the best low price shares to buy for long term.
