Outlook and valuation: We expect Dishman's net sales and net profit to grow at a CAGR of 10.0% and 3.1%, respectively, over FY2016-18E. At current levels, Dishman is trading at 15.1x its FY2018E earnings. We believe the current valuations are expensive, given the restrained growth and low profitability; hence, we maintain our SELL rating on the stock.
