The stock had been doin ggood in general in the beginning of the year and had not remain untouched by the crash engulfing the stock markets across the globe. It had seen a meltdown, like other stocks, in the month of March and since then a full fledged recovery is stll awaited.

Expected return = Risk free rate + beta x market premium = 4% + 1.44 x 4.5% = 10.48%

The company had done well except recently and is overall a performer. The compnay has a robust management team and is well poised ti take care of enormous growth in its services.
