Investment Rationale
The company saw a lot of orders flowing in the month of June. The company has approximately Rs.1600 crore of firm orders in hand and Rs.5000 crore in the pipeline.
A very large order in GeoSpatial Fusion is MIDE (Ministre de l'Agence de Developpement economique), which is the Canadian agency for economic development.
Another large order for GeoSpatial Fusion is from the Road Transport Authority in Dubai. In India, their engineering services are given to the Department of space and ISRO for the design of rocket engines and to KBR in the last quarter. With these various orders in hand, the company is in a good position for the current year.

Valuation
The company's future prospects are becoming brighter with the various orders in hand and improving yearly and quarterly performance. Presently, the company is running at a P/B multiple of 2.02x to it's FY09 book value of Rs.88.42 while the P/E multiple of the company is running at 9.77x to its FY09 EPS of Rs.18.25. However, the industry is running at a P/E multiple of 19.30x which leaves the stock with a significant upside potential. Hence, we recommend BUY on the stock with a medium term price target of Rs.255.00.
