Repco reported Q2 PAT 9 per cent ahead of our estimates. Stronger than expected spreads, mainly due to better than expected yields led to the result beat, said Jefferies in a note. The brokerage has maintained its hold rating with a target price of Rs 585.
Thirteen of 18 brokerages rate the stock “buy” or higher, three “hold” and two “sell” or lower; their median price target is Rs 800.
