Just yesterday, one of those Fools, NHWeston102, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:
Hidden under the shadow of India's current money woes, Dr. Reddy is now a global generic company with superlative service creds. The domestic market alone insures they'll profit [1.2 billion consumers]. They have lots of little partnerships with companies large and small -- and, if they like what a small company is doing well [enough], they have the cash flow to buy it.
If you want market-beating returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its four-star rating, Dr. Reddy's may not be your top choice.
If that's the case, we've found another stock we are incredibly excited about -- excited enough to dub it "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2012." We have compiled a special free report for investors to uncover this stock today. The report is 100% free, but it won't be here forever, so click here to access it now.
