Consolidated margins will improve with operational efficiencies in Unichem;Ipca aims to turn net cash in FY26 (vs ~Rs 3-4 billion as of Dec’24). Investment focus includes: Pain management (leveraging the existing network of ortho and dental for additional indications), CVS (adding ~300 MRs), Urology (a fast-growing segment, with Ipca looking to expand its field force), and Derma (to create a presence in the cosmetology segment by adding a new division in H2 FY26). .Endurance Technologies - Decent performance despite of European headwinds The order book continues to have a good portion of EVs (50%) and the higher margin four-wheeler business (40%). Its long-term plan of expanding the PV share of business to 45% by 2030 from the current 25% will aid its goals of diversification and improving the revenue mix. The lightweight trend in the automotive industry should further aid the company’s aluminium die-casting business. As it continues to build its capabilities in the BMS space via its subsidiary Maxwell, we expect the order book to expand further, aided by the domestic EV players’ focus on localization, and to procure a better quality BMS. We value Endurance Technologies at 24x Dec-26 EPS for a target price of Rs 2,179, whilst also maintaining an Add rating. .Click on the attachment to read the full report:.Ipca Labs Q3 Results Review — India, Unichem Fuel Profitable Growth, Says Motilal Oswal, Raises Target Price.DISCLAIMERThis report is authored by an external party.
