Nirmal Bang Report

We have marginally tweaked our estimates due to increased operating expenses, softer topline growth, and a rising tax burden. However, despite these near-term challenges, we remain structurally positive on Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.’s long-term business outlook.

We are building in Revlimid sales of $176/123 million over FY26/FY27E. The stock’s five-year average P/E stands at 25x; we now value it at 35x FY27E earnings per share of Rs 57.8 and arrive at a target price of Rs 2,024.

We maintain our Buy rating underpinned by Sun Pharma's strong positioning as a unique play on both the India branded market and the global specialty pharma opportunity.
