Stock Recommendation
The company has delivered 6-month returns of ~-37.23%. The stock is trading lower than the average of the 52-week high price of $65.74 and the 52-week low price of $33.61.
The stock has been valued using a P/E multiple based relative valuation (on an illustrative basis), and the target price so arrived reflects a rise of low double-digit (in % terms). A slight premium has been applied to peer average P/E multiple (NTM) (Peer Average), considering the growth in the portfolio, and expected growth in earnings per share.
Considering the facts above, we give a “Buy” recommendation on the stock at the current market price of $38.58 per share, as on 10.10 am New York Time, USA (GMT-4) as of 20 May 2022.
Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic issues and geopolitical tensions prevailing. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.
