Outlook
We maintain BUY due to 1) pick-up in elective surgeries and margins at hospitals to improve through better operating leverage and optimisation of payer and case mix, 2) impending value unlocking through Apollo HealthCo and 3) increase in reach for all verticals through integrated digital platform to be remunerative in long term albeit with front-loaded cost pressure. We value Apollo at Rs 5230 based on SOTP valuation.
