Investment Rationale CSL continues to be one of the top-tier shipyards in the country with ample capacity, capability & the orderbook to support it. Recent tie-up with Fincantieri would help CSL gain technological inputs, design support & collaboration in high end/new gen defence vessels. Further, a solid order book of Rs 13862 crore, healthy cash balance of Rs 1400 crore (ex-advances) and robust order pipeline provides growth visibility for the company. A growing company, with high dividend pay-out & debt free b/s makes CSL an attractive bet trading at 7.4x FY22E EPS. It maintains BUY rating on the stock. It values CSL at 9x FY22E EPS and revise our target price to Rs 435.
