operating margins contracted by 238bps yoy. On the bottom-line front, MBL

sustainable growth opportunities over the next 5-7 years, most of the capex already
through and strong parentage, we have a positive outlook on the company. Thus,
we maintain our Buy recommendation on MBL with Target Price of `56
