Annualized EPS for the nine months ended December 2006 on the post-issue equity works to Rs 15.9. On the price band of Rs 275-Rs 330, PE is 17.3-20.8. The only listed comparable player is Crisil, currently traded around Rs 2100, giving PE of 23 times FY 2006 consolidated EPS. Crisil deserves higher PE as it is: over four times larger than ICRA, growing at a faster rate than ICRA, perceived to be more aggressive, and has made much more headway in non-rating and international business. Besides, S&P controls a 56.5% stake in Crisil compared with 29% by Moody�s in ICRA.
