“Our FY24/FY25 earnings estimates broadly remains unchanged. Sun Pharma (SUNP) Q2FY24 EBIDTA was in line with our estimate, aided by domestic formulation and specialty sales. Overall specialty sales, GMs continue to remain healthy. Over last few years SUNP dependency on US generics has reduced and company’s growth is more functional on specialty, RoW and domestic pharma business that has strong growth visibility. Furthermore, acquisition of Concert Pharma along with progress of other pipelines provides visibility to SUNP’s specialty pipeline beyond FY25. We maintain ‘Buy’ rating at a Target Price of Rs 1,280 (Rs 1,265 earlier) based on 26x Sept 2025E earnings. SUNP remains our top pick in large cap space.”
Motilal Oswal Financial Services: Buy – Target Price: 1,310“Sun Pharma (SUNP) delivered an in-line 2QFY24 financial performance. Sun Pharma garnered healthy growth across specialty as well as branded generics businesses. It continues to implement its initiatives towards: a) an improvement in prescriptions for commercialized specialty products, and b) filing of new products as well as clinical trials for products under development. We retain our estimates for FY24/FY25. We continue to value Sun Pharma at 26x 12M forward earnings to arrive at our Target Price of Rs 1,310. Sun Pharma is well-positioned to reinforce its specialty franchise through the addition of new products, the expansion of its reach, and the superior implementation of its existing products. It continues to outperform both in the branded generics market of India (DF) and other emerging markets. Reiterate ‘BUY’.”
