The stock is currently trading at a discount of 43 per cent versus the average discount of 29 per cent since 2010.JP Morgan says Ultratech is trading at 10 times enterprise value/EBITDA and at 18 times P/E. The US investment bank also lowered its target price to Rs 1,400 from Rs 1,250. Ultratech Cement reported a 14 per cent net profit for the April-June quarter.
