Rajesh Agarwal of CD Equisearch is of the view that one can buy Hanung Toys with target of Rs 335.

Agarwal told CNBC-TV18, "Hanung looks to be a very story because its one of the largest players in the organised market of stuff toys and Co-branding with Walt Disney and Percept Picture can fuel growth in domestic market with a retail boom. Secondly, they are going to enjoy various tax benefits for their expansion projects, which are due to come off in the next 6-months in Uttaranchal."

He further added, "They are expanding existing facilities and are looking for acquisitions aboard. All these will lead to margin expansion substantially and when people talk of their export revenues they say that the rupee problem is there but let me clarify that Hanung is insulated from rupee fluctuation because domestic revenue contributes around 20% to 25% and import of raw material is around 30% of total revenue. Again exports to IT has been done in Indian rupees and balance is fully hedged by long-term zero cost foreign currency derivatives. On account of higher margins and dominance in organised toys sector we are recommending a buy on this stock with a target price of around Rs 335 in the next 18-24 months. Appling a multiple of 8x on FY09 EPS of Rs 41.98."
