Considering all factors, we revise our estimates upwards and build in 8.1%, 2.1%, -4.6% revenue, EBIDTA and PAT CAGR for FY20-22E, respectively. SB revenues are expected to grow at 12% CAGR while shiprepair is expected to grow at 1.0% CAGR in FY20-22E. We expect overall margins to get diluted in FY21E due to impact on operations due to shutdown, lower other income. On the whole, we maintain BUY on the stock and value CSL at 9x FY22E earnings to arrive at a target price of Rs. 395.
