I think after the present tax structure is revised ITC should become a good buy again.15 times PE (as you say) is to my mind  the lowest for ITC over the past few years.

i am holding ITC since long.
My conviction is based on:
1. management with vision
2. cigarette: cash cow business and not likely to be going down any more
3. great growing business of hotels and rural retailing using scalable model
4. leveraging the experience of channel management in FMCG
5. reasonable PE
 
i am very much optimistic on this stock and am ready if need to hold for longer.
ABILITY will get u at d top. CHARACTER will retain u at d top

 Market perception of HLL can change to positive suddenly and so it may be a good contra buy.

i would agree with all 3 both as defensives with a 3-5 yr holding do make sense at the current levels the mkt is worried that states may start charging obscene amounts of vat for cigarrettes hence until that is sorted out itc could remain under pressure
understanding both the power of compound return and the difficulty getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things

Following the launch of its snacks brand 'Bingo' in 16 different flavours, ITC's Food Division today said it will invest Rs 150 crore in the next two years for its foray into the snacks segment and is eyeing 25% market share of the Rs 2,000 crore organised market in the next 4-5 years.

"We have already invested Rs 60-70 crore for our foray into the snacks segment. In a couple of years we will be investing Rs 150 crore for the foray," Ravi Naware, chief executive, ITC Foods Division, said here.

Please do not go overboard with all trhis. Rs 150 crores is 0.3% of ITC's market cap so except for some emotional/sentiment support these things are meaningless!
 
Even if you take Rs 500 crores (25% of Rs 2000 crores) it comes to 1% of the market cap!
 
These things are good for the business channel "exclusives" or "breaking" news only.
