Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries’ (SUNP IN) acquisition of Checkpoint Therapeutics (CKPT) would give SUNP access to a USFDA-approved novel drug asset, Cosibelimab (approved in December 2024), meant to treat locally advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (laCSCC and mCSCC).

Bharti Hexacom (Hexacom), the licensed operator of wireless and fixed-line services under the Airtel brand in Rajasthan and North East circles, provides pure-play exposure to the two high-growth businesses of Airtel – India wireless and Home broadband. Moreover, given lower teledensity and lower internet penetration in Hexacom circles (vs. pan-India), we believe Hexacom can potentially grow a few percentage points faster than Airtel on both subscribers and ARPU

We feel UTCEM’s entry in the new business of W & C is to extend the building material value chain by offering one-stop solution. The initial investment of Rs18bn spread over next 2 years is a diversification of capital allocation but remains very small compared to its core cement exposure at ~2%.

Hence, we continue to assign 17x EV/EBITDA valuation to arrive at an unchanged TP of Rs 13,137. Maintain BUY
