My personal take:
Before reading further, please note that this is not a Buy or Sell recommendation, it is my personal opinion about this company and currently, I hold no positions in it however in the near future I might consider adding it to my Portfolio.
If we compare the Cash flows being generated by the Company, I feel that the COSMOFIRST stock is undervalued However, given the current market scenario, I am in no hurry to add it. If I add it I will add it for a target of around 840.
