Hospital margin is seen to be improving toward 25%, supported by oncology, robotic surgeries and digital integration. Agilus Diagnostics targets steady mid-single-digit growth and 24–25% EBITDA margin through focus on specialised and preventive testing.

We revise the hospital business multiple at 29x EV/EBITDA on an average of FY27–28E, reflecting ARPOB growth and capacity additions. We also revise the multiple of diagnostics segment at 25x EV/EBITDA on average of FY27–28E, factoring in margin improvement.
