On the top-line (standalone) front, it reported 24.9% yoy increase to Rs. 213cr (ahead of our estimate of Rs. 189cr). EBITDA and PAT numbers were ahead of our estimate at Rs. 35cr and Rs. 22cr, respectively (v/s our estimate of Rs. 27cr and Rs. 11cr, respectively).

On valuing the standalone entity at 15.0x our FY2017E EPS of Rs. 38.6, and adding value for its Kerala & Muzaffarpur BOT projects, we arrive at FY2017E sum-of-the-parts (SoTP) based price target of Rs. 673/share, implying 16% upside from the current levels. Given the upside in the stock, we upgrade our rating to Buy.For all recommendations, click here Disclaimer: The views and investment tips expressed by investment experts/broking houses/rating agencies on moneycontrol.com are their own, and not that of the website or its management.
