Valuation Analysis

The business has strong cash generation, underscores a solid business and the management’s ability to expand multi-fold with internally generated funds and still deliver surplus cash for the shareholders.
The stock is trading at the P/E of 34.53 because of its near monopoly it has in the industry.
In near future the P/E will reduce as the industry will mature. So, we expect P/E of 30 and taking EPS 6.84 (on the basis of the last four trailing quarterly earnings). But remember, this estimate is squarely based on earnings estimates, the company looks slightly over-valued to me, but it is purely based on personal opinion.

The only risk

Regulations and Licenses, the government of goa is passing new regulation which could allow them to host live games. This could create scope for entry of new players.
