As the company scales up its business and sets up infrastructure to support its expansion in the exports market, it expects higher realizations in the years to come. The Repro stock appears attractive, as it is valued at about 6 times expected FY09 earnings. On account of increasing contribution from higher margin businesses and attractive valuations, the stock holds good potential for appreciation in the medium-long term. Accumulate.
