Positives
Around 500 Cr reserves (for a annual revenue in FY10 of 940 Cr). Consistently having more than 10% NPM's.
Negatives
Almost double levels from the 52 week low of 66. This seems too costly for a 3800 Cr market cap – FY10 EPS is 5.84. Revenues has risen to 941Cr from 478 in FY06 – i.e >18% annually. At high levels due to the acquisition news – buy when things cool down – great share to hold.
