Cipla Ltd. share price target

CIPLA delivered an in-line revenue. However, it posted lower-than-expected EBITDA/PAT (21%/22% miss) for the quarter. After almost 13 quarters, CIPLA exhibited a YoY decline in EBITDA in 3QFY26.

Cipla Ltd delivered a steady Q2FY26 performance, supported by strong branded generics in India and continued leadership in its US respiratory business (albuterol MDI). The company's strategic focus on high-growth therapies such as obesity and diabetes (exclusive launch of Tirzepatide Yurpeak in India) underpins its long-term growth potential. However, near-term challenges remain, including the anticipated revenue erosion from the Revlimid cliff, increased R&D intensity weighing on margins, and execution risk related to timely approvals, which could limit earnings visibility and margin recovery in the medium term, thereby warranting a more...

Cipla’s near-to-medium term outlook remains positive, underpinned by strong execution in domestic formulations and a visible ramp-up in complex generics and biosimilars in the U.S. market.

We remain positive on the stock with a BUY rating and arrive at a TP of Rs 1,700/share.

FY26 is likely to be a year of some consolidation with the genericization of gRevlimid and flattish US sales as major launches are expected to pick up momentum in FY27.

The future remains bright as the company expects critical launches such as gAdvair (respiratory) by H2FY26 and also has a...

We have revised our FY26E/FY27E EPS estimates by +0.9%/-5.2%, as we factor in lower revenue on account of ramp down of Revlimid portfolio and ongoing price erosion in the US market, higher depreciation and amortization expense, offset by higher other income.

Cipla has robust domestic and global product pipelines. US product pipeline to be healthy and will be key to driving growth from H2FY26E and contribute significantly from FY27E onwards.

We remain positive on the stock with a BUY rating and arrive at a target price of Rs 1,700 per share.
