Despite earnings cut, we believe Cipla’s risk-reward is favorable at current levels. We expect 14% EPS CAGR over FY23-25E given the recent correction in stock price. At CMP, stock is trading at 18x FY25E EPS. Recommend ‘BUY’ with revised TP of ₹ 1,070/share (1280 earlier), based on 22x FY25E EPS," said Prabhudas Lilladher.
