"Nevertheless, near-term valuations at 56.8x FY20E EPS leave little room for an upside from a one-year perspective. Note that valuations are at premium levels, despite assuming healthy 23.3% EPS CAGR over FY18-20. We, thus, believe that slower-than-expected execution going forward can pose downside risks," they said.

Based on the aforementioned proposition, analysts added, "We maintain our Neutral rating with a target price of INR26,535 (48x Dec’20E EPS, 15% discount to 3-year average)."

If we take into consideration today’s intraday high, then Page Industries is seen to rise by another Rs 3,440 in near term.
