When i first looked at this paper company, my first reason was low PE. Company was showing results that was not comparable to previous year's results. In such cases, it is difficult to digest on how the company is performing so well

Then, i spent good amount of time in understanding the industry point of view where i found majority companies were showing similar lines results. 

Paper industry as a whole has fundamentally changed and we can expect Re rating in these paper companies
