With the USFDA planning to extend audit at Sun Pharma's Halol facility, there is a lot of talk on whether a price of Rs 806 per share is even justified. Prakash Diwan of Altamount Capital Management believes Rs 800 is not much to ask for a company like Sun Pharma. He says, as a combined entity, the synergies would be much more formidable.
