“The US FDA has classified Sun’s Halol facility under an import alert. Though this is clearly a setback for Sun, the only solace is annual US sales from Halol have declined significantly from US$400+ mn to ~US155 mn over the past seven years. In the absence of any details, we have assumed 50% of Halol’s US sales come from the 14 molecules exempted from the import alert,” said Alankar Garude, CFA, Kotak Institutional Equities.

HCL Tech: Neutral- Target Price- Rs 1115; Upside of 8.3%

Shares of HCL Tech ended as top Nifty and Sensex losers, down around 7 per cent to Rs 1,029.80 per share on the NSE.

Regarding HCL stock, Abhishek Bhandari, Chartered Financial Analyst, NFASL, says “IT sector valuation has moderated significantly and its premium to broader Indian markets has fallen in the past six months. However, it remains elevated when compared with long-term averages. Against this backdrop, we are selective in our picks.”
