KR Choksey's research report on Laurus Labs

Laurus Labs’ revenue beat our estimates significantly due to strong growth in Custom Synthesis segment and FDF segment. EBITDA beat our estimates due to better-than-expected gross profit and Adj. PAT beat our estimates due to strong operating performance. We increase our FY26E/FY27E EPS estimates by 0.6% and 5.0% to INR 13.5/INR 19.6, respectively showing our confidence that the company’s strategic focus on advanced intermediates and APIs, several R&D launches are expected to drive growth in the medium term, and late-stage projects and shift towards advanced manufacturing capabilities indicate a solid long-term growth trajectory.

Outlook

Currently, the stock is trading at a P/E multiple of 44.7/30.7 based on FY26E/FY27E EPS, respectively. We roll over our valuation multiple to FY27E and assign a PE multiple of 35.0x to arrive at a target price of INR 687 (previously: INR 489) and maintain “ACCUMULATE” rating.
