In my opinion, this one deserves to remain cheap. The business in not doing that great and most of its segments are witnessing competitive pressures. It may be dificult for the company to maintain the same dividend payout in the future.

There has been some indsider selling in October 2009. If I'm not mistaken a high proportion of promoter holding has been pledged. I used to own this some time back (got it at 14 bucks and sold out at 25 -:) coz i did not really find any trigger for the company to sell at book value.

P.S. You may want to check out R Systems International.... at Rs. 80, it is selling at less than book value and cash per share is approx Rs. 60. In addition, the company has in the past bought back shares and also increased the dividend payout.

Cheers,
KK
