IIFL Capital has placed a 'Buy' rating on Entero Healthcare Solutions with a target price of Rs1,500, indicating an expected 30% increase in stock value. As one of the largest and fastest-growing pharma distribution platforms in India, Entero is benefiting from the ongoing consolidation in the Rs3.3 lakh crore market, which is growing at a 10-11% CAGR. IIFL expects the company's revenue to grow at a 24% CAGR over FY25-28, driven by both organic expansion and acquisitions. The company's EBITDA and EPS are projected to grow at 45% and 46% CAGR, respectively, supported by procurement efficiencies and increasing contributions from higher-margin medical devices.
JK Cement, one of India's leading cement producers, has received a 'Buy' rating from B&K Securities, with a target price of Rs5,739, suggesting a 17% upside. The company is on an aggressive expansion path, aiming to double its production capacity from 25 million tonnes (mt) to 50 mt by FY30. B&K Securities highlights that JK Cement’s well-balanced regional presence, planned capacity additions, and improved cost structures will support healthy EBITDA growth over FY25-27.

Muthoot Finance, a key player in the gold-backed lending segment, has been assigned a 'Buy' rating by LKP Securities, with a target price of Rs2,849, reflecting a 22% upside. Muthoot has successfully institutionalized gold-backed loans, leveraging its first-mover advantage, strong customer trust, and extensive distribution network. The company has maintained a disciplined approach to risk management, ensuring a high-quality loan book despite operating at high loan-to-value (LTV) levels. Analysts expect Muthoot to achieve a return on assets (ROA) of 5.4% and a return on equity (ROE) of 21.4% for FY27, supported by its expanding market reach and continued profitability.
