"Dr Agarwal's Healthcare commands a leading position in a fragmented but fast-growing eye care market in India. We increase our FY27-29E EBITDA estimates by 3-4% and upgrade the rating to a Buy (from Hold) on account of faster ramp-up of new facilities driven by strong volume-led growth," Jefferies stated in its note.
Additionally, Dr. Agarwals Health has also bagged a price target hike from Morgan Stanley, after the brokerage maintained its 'overweight' rating on the share.
MS has hiked the price target to Rs 576 from Rs 555 on attractive valuation, strong SSSG, improving Return on capital employed (ROCE), and a large untapped market opportunity.
