What to expect?
At the current price of 881, the stock is trading at a multiple of 14.1 times our estimated FY10 earnings. We had recommended a ‘Hold’ on the stock in December 2007 at Rs 1,021 with a March 2010 target prices of Rs 1,380. The stock went up 20% from our recommendation to a high of Rs 1,225 but has since then declined mainly due to the broader market contraction. We, thus, maintain our positive view on the stock. We will put up a detailed analysis of the result post the conference call that is scheduled for February 1, 2008.|
