I think It is going to be a 5Bagger in 3-4 years Kotak Mahindra bank has 14 subsidiaries, and the bank holds majority stakes in most of the companies.Like- KMCC (75%), KOTAK SECURITIES (75%), Kotak prima plus (60%), OM KOTAK LIFE (74%), Kotak asset mgmt (100%) etc. at 120cr equity stock trade with a p/e of 13times to fy03 EPS and mkt/cap of 2300cr.
