Valuation:
At CMP of `190/ share the stock is trading at 6.2x to its FY14E EPS of `29.0 and at
5.0x to its FY15E EPS of `35.7. Present healthy order book position and any order
additions during the year can provide better revenue visibility in coming years,
however we revise our rating from ‘BUY’ to “HOLD” on JKIL and maintain our target
price of `214/share (which is at 6x P/E on FY15E EPS of `35.7)
