Its exports business holds significant revenue upsides as it shifts focus from straight printing to content process outsourcing(CPO). As the company would be focusing on CPO for its foreign clients it expects margins to grow in future. The expansion at Surat SEZ and Vashi units will also bring benefits this year. 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 7.5 times expected FY10E(Rs 15) and at 5.6 times FY11E earnings(Rs 20). On account of increasing contribution from higher margin businesses and attractive valuations, the stock holds good potential for appreciation in the medium-long term. Investors can start accumulating the stock at current levels and add more on declines for decent returns of 40%-45% over the next 6-8 months.
