Outlook and Valuation: We expect net sales to post a 15.6% CAGR to Rs3,799cr,
and EPS to register a 36.5% CAGR to Rs19.7 over FY2016–18E. The company’s
financials will be impacted by the USFDA import alert on the Ratlam, Indore and
Silvassa facilities. While the problems are likely to persist for a while, we expect the
company’s performance to witness a gradual pick-up going forward. Given the
inexpensive valuations, we maintain our Buy rating on the stock.
