The Pataka Stocks screener, post Q1 results: LTTS, Sagar Cements, Control Print

The Pataka Stocks Screener highlights stocks where analysts have estimated at least a 20% upside in the share's target price. Stocks in the list post Q1 results include Sagar Cements, L&T Technology Services (LTTS), MPS Limited  and Control Print.

These companies have seen substantial YoY revenue growth, and analysts have pushed higher target prices on specific rationale. Sagar Cements for example says that it expects significant cost reductions in the coming quarters, with shift to cheaper raw material and process improvements. 

L&T Technology Services (LTTS), a domain specialist in Engineering and R&D, is expected to ride on the rapid growth projected in the ER&D sector, especially in the US market. Analysts like Karvy also expect high growth for communications firm MPS Limited, citing the expansion of platforms in the US market. 

Analysts also have high hopes for coding and marking firm Control Print, which saw significant margin expansion in FY12-16 after it changed its product mix to prioritize consumables, a high margin product with a growing base of installed printers. For the full screener, click here.
