Prabhudas Lilladher has released a research report on J.B. Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals, reiterating its 'BUY' recommendation and setting a price target of Rs 2,100 per share. The firm noted that the company's adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 (Q2FY26) grew by 14% compared to the same period last year, which was in line with their estimates. Revenue growth across key business areas, including domestic sales and the Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) segment, remained healthy.
The report identifies several factors expected to drive J.B. Chemicals' continued growth. These include expanding the reach of its legacy brands into new geographical markets, improving the productivity of its Medical Representatives (MRs), scaling up operations for recently acquired brands, launching new products and therapies, and growing its contract manufacturing business. The company's strong Free Cash Flow (FCF) generation is also a positive point. Furthermore, margins are projected to improve beyond FY27, particularly after the grant of a perpetual license for its acquired ophthalmic (eye care) product portfolio.
Impact: This positive research report is likely to boost investor confidence in J.B. Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals. The reiterated 'BUY' rating and a significant price target suggest potential upside for the stock. Analysts expect an Earnings Per Share (EPS) Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22% over the FY25-28 period, indicating strong future earnings potential. If the company executes its growth strategies effectively, the stock price could move towards the Rs 2,100 target. Rating: 7/10
