Valuation:
CRISIL remains the preferred bet for its consistent track record in terms of revenue & profitability coupled with strong balance sheet & leadership position. Hence, we expect CRISIL to trade at a premium valuation to its peers. Currently, the stock is available at 31.6x CY18E EPS, which is at the lower end of its historical range of 22.1–51.2x one-year forward EPS. Hence, we recommend BUY rating on the stock with a target price of Rs2,375 valuing it at its three-year mean of 38.0x CY18E EPS.
