business contributes 30% and domestic business contributes about 70% of the
company's total business. The company is strengthening its presence in existing
categories and markets as well entering new geographies. Dabur has strong
focus on innovation. It has rolled out new variants & products which have
contributed to around 5-6% of our growth p.a. The company plans to spin off
the retail business and also plans 50 more New U stores over the next three
years.

Technical Outlook
The stock has been in long term uptrend, shown by consistent series of rising
tops and bottoms on monthly charts. This year FMCG counters have clearly
outperformed broader indices and they continue to do so as broader markets
have too seen a smart rally in last two quarters. Stock of DABUR hit all-time
high levels in October-2012 after which it has gone into a consolidation. While
moving in a narrow range it has been able to maintain above longer term
moving averages and recent gains in last two weeks indicate there can be
continuation of the rally in near term. Accordingly, one may go long between
128-CMP (130.05) with closing below stop loss of 123 level for the target of
146 levels.
