Back in late 2024, I was tired of losses. Penny stocks I blindly chased either flatlined or collapsed. But one night while rechecking old watchlists, I noticed a pattern — the same 3 factors repeated in every successful stock I missed.
So in early 2025, I built a simple system using just 3 filters. No complex algorithms. No
fancy tools. The result? Within six months, I had picked three multibagger stocks — and I’m sharing everything with you
today.
Step 1: Filter
Smallcaps Backed by Strong Promoters
I began screening stocks under Rs.500 crore
market cap where the promoter
holding was above 60% and increasing over time.
This signaled that the people running the company had skin in the game.
Key Metrics to Check:
Promoter holding trend (last 4 quarters)
Pledged shares (preferably 0%)
Insider buying activity
Step 2: Detect
“Pre-Breakout” Volume Spikes
The second signal? Unusual
volume.
Not huge spikes that everyone sees — but steady increases in
delivery volume with price still flat.
I used free tools like:
Screener.in: to
track delivery volume & financials
Chartink: for
volume + RSI scan
TradingView (free):
to plot 50/200 EMA crossovers
This helped me catch the accumulation phase before a breakout.
Step 3: Positive Operating Cash Flow + Low Debt
Too many smallcaps show paper profits but bleed cash.
I only selected companies with:
Positive operating
cash flow for at least 2 years
Debt to equity <
0.5
Consistent or growing ROCE above 15%
Case Study 1: XYZ
Industries Ltd (Stock name hypothetical)
I picked this stock in January 2025 at ₹18. Today it trades above ₹68.
Why I Picked It:
Promoters increased stake from 58% to 63%
Quarterly cash flow turned positive for the first time in 3
years
Consistent delivery volume increased 3x while price stayed
below 20rs
Case Study 2: Kinetic Infra Ltd (Stock name hypothetical)
Bought at RS.42 in
March 2025, now at RS.119.
Why It Worked:
Company cleared all debts by December 2024
Insider buying from CFO in Jan–Feb 2025
Revenue grew 70% YoY with positive EBITDA margins
Case Study 3: BioLeaf Agrotech Ltd (Stock name
hypothetical)
This was the sleeper pick. Bought at ₹7.40,
now above ₹29.
Triggers:
Smart money accumulation shown by delivery volume
Launched new agro-tech patent pending product in Q1 2025
Operating cash flow turned ₹18
crore positive from –₹6 crore
Mistakes I Avoided
This Time
Didn’t
rely on tips from Telegram/YouTube
Avoided high-debt
companies with low promoter holding
Didn’t chase momentum
blindly without understanding fundamentals
My Final Thoughts
This strategy isn’t magic. But it filters out junk and
highlights stocks with real long-term potential. You don’t need to be a pro —
just consistent and logical.
You can start by
applying this filter to your own watchlist — and maybe, you’ll catch your own
next multibagger.

FAQs About
Multibagger Stock Picking in 2025
Q1. How do I know if
a penny stock has multibagger potential?
Look for low debt, rising promoter holding, and positive
cash flows. Volume buildup before a breakout is another clue.
Q2. Is it safe to
invest in smallcaps under 100rs?
Only if you research properly. Many smallcaps are risky, but
some with strong fundamentals can multiply your investment.
Q3. Should I rely on
stock tips from social media?
No. Most tips are biased or promotional. Always DYOR (Do
Your Own Research).
Q4. What’s the
minimum capital to start with such strategies?
Even 5,000rs–10,000rs is fine if you manage risk and diversify wisely.
