JPMorgan Downgrades Abbott India to Neutral with ₹27,500 Target Price Amid Strategic Concerns
JPMorgan has downgraded Abbott India to Neutral with a ₹27,500 target price, citing multiple strategic challenges including limited new launches, Mixtard phase-out, and GLP-1 therapy risks. The downgrade also reflects concerns over leadership instability following three MD resignations and a subdued growth outlook. Despite high FY27-28 valuations of 31x/28x, JPMorgan cut its target multiple from 37x to 30x to align with slower-growth MNC pharma peers.
Abbott India Ltd reported strong Q4 financial results, surpassing market expectations. Net profit increased by 14.7% to ₹359.00 crore, revenue rose by 9% to ₹1,633.00 crore, and EBITDA grew by 15% to ₹439.00 crore. The company's stock gained nearly 4% following the announcement, reaching ₹31,500.00 per share.
Abbott India's Q4 results show strong growth with net profit up 27.90% to ₹367.00 crore, revenue increasing 11.50% to ₹1,604.60 crore, and EBITDA rising 30.00% with margin expansion to 26.70%. The company has recommended a final dividend of ₹475.00 per share, subject to shareholder approval.
