Investors with a two-three-year perspective can buy the stock of Unity Infraprojects (Unity). Primarily a construction contractor, Unity’s project portfolio comprises infrastructure and civil contracts. At Rs 479, the stock trades at 8.8 times its trailing 12 month per share earnings, at a discount to peers such as Ahluwalia Contracts and Patel Engineering.
Trading well below its IPO price in 2006, the company now asks for far more reasonable valuations. Besides, a diverse and growing order-book, increase in infrastructure contracts, and steady margins have improved its earnings prospects over the last couple of years
