Dixon

CMP Rs 16725, TP: Rs 22300, 33% Upside, Buy

• We revise our estimates to factor in higher mobile volumes and higher minority interest, and expect a CAGR of 36%/41%/46% in revenue/EBITDA/PAT over FY25-28.
• With commissioning of display facility by 1QFY27 and completion of Q-tech stake acquisition, we expect EBITDA margin of 3.8%/4.1%/4.4% for FY26/FY27/FY28. Along with this, we also incorporate higher minority interest for JVs that will be in place over the said period. This will result in a PAT CAGR of 46% over FY25- FY28E.
• The stock is currently trading at 60.8x/46.2x P/E on FY27/28E earnings. We also incorporate the value of stake in Aditya Infotech. We reiterate our BUY rating on the stock with a revised DCF-based TP of INR22,300 (earlier INR22,100).

Max Health

CMP: Rs 1250, TP: Rs 1450, 16% Upside, Buy

• The Nifty 50 benchmark index is likely to go through a potential reshuffle on August 22, with Max Healthcare and InterGlobe Aviation likely candidates that may be included.
• MAXH has continued to post a consistent 25% YoY growth in revenue for 16 quarters, with an average EBITDA margin of 27%.
• We believe that MAXH is well-positioned to sustain its earnings growth trajectory, supported by improving operations at existing hospitals, scaling up of recently added/new hospitals, and bed additions (largely through the brownfield route). Even the diagnostics and home care businesses are scaling up at a healthy pace by expanding into new cities and deepening their presence in existing cities. We expect 21%/22%/26% revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR over FY25-27. Reiterate BUY.
