Dear Amit,
ITC done the job for me today. I picked it at 131.00 and sold at 139.
Could you please tell me the P/E after stock split. I am unable to find anywhere.

Hi Vivek...I'm not very clear here.
The usual way to calculate PE is by dividing the last closing price of a stock by its EPS. In the case of ITC, with RS.10 face value, the last annual results put the EPS at about 88. Taking yesterday's closing price of 1929, we get roughly 21.9 as the PE.
Now with the face value of RS.1 and the number of stocks multiplied by 10, do we also dilute/divide the stated EPS by 10? If this were true, the new EPS would be 88 divided by 10= 8.8.
If then, the closing price today of 140 is divided by 8.8, we get roughly 15.9 as the PE.
BUT...all this is in the air...I'm not too sure, and just taking it logically.
Any member who has more on this, do kindly comment.
Thanks.
