Stock Recommendation

In the month of December 2021, its Board of Directors declared the quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share, or the rate of $0.28 per share on an annualized basis. This represents 17% rise from its prior quarterly cash dividend which was paid in the month of October 2021.

The stock has been valued using Price/EPS multiple based relative valuation (on an illustrative basis), and the target price so arrived reflects a decline of low double-digit (in % terms). In addition, a slight discount has been applied to peer average Price/EPS multiple (NTM basis) considering the risks associated with the business as well as regulatory challenges. Also, negative economic as well as market developments, including low commodity production volumes and prices could significantly impact the company’s customers.

Thus, we give a “Sell” rating at the current price of US$119.35 per share (Time: 9:54 AM, NY, US) on 9^th March 2022.
