The average factory cargo factor of51.5 per cent during the FY22 is veritably low. But it also signifies that further good could be there in the future. Debt Equity is at 2 which has bettered over the FY22. We did a simple computation wherein we removed previous period profit and other income both – from FY22 and FY21. Grounded on the working, EPS for FY22 comes out at1.51 and for FY21 is was-3.52.”At an EPS of1.51 and a CMP of 277, the valuation isn’t comfortable for us.
