On Friday of the last week it closed at Rs 243.25 and with a remarkable gain, especially based on highly encouraging working results. The uptrend as triggered on better working results, is expected to remain for some time and makes this a good bet for short-term trading or long-term investing.

Motherson Sumi MP: 265; FV: Re 1
Motherson Sumi is one of the leading auto ancillary companies in India. The company has rewarded its long-term investors well with frequent bonus share issues and regular dividend payments. The company came out with excellent working results for the second quarter ended September, 2015.
The company posted a whopping 176 per cent rise in its net profit on a mere 14 per cent increase in sales for the period. This means that whatever additional sales that the company achieved got converted into net profit. The share had recently scaled to a high of Rs 395.85 in August, 2015 but was forced to fall up to Rs 217.30 on October 5, as the markets turned bearish.
However, after having bottomed out at Rs 217.30, it was gradually rising until announcement of excellent working results. It jumped significantly up on Friday following the disclosure of the numbers and closed at Rs 265.75. Thus the share has responded quite positively to better working results and therefore recommended for buying for medium to long-term investing.
