"We believe Redington’s execution in spite of the lockdown-induced challenges is commendable. Although ProConnect profitability needs to be closely tracked, the overall business is well managed. Considering the company’s improving return on capital employed (RoCE), its valuation at 6.1x FY21E earnings per share (EPS) is attractive. We maintain "BUY/SO" with a revised target price of Rs 142," analysts at Edelweiss Securities had said in a note on June 12.
At 10:08 AM, the stock was trading over 15 per cent higher at Rs 108.35 on the BSE as compared to 0.44 per cent rise in the s&P BSE Sensex.
