Outlook and valuation: Sun Pharma is expected to post net sales CAGR of 12.1%, while
EPS will post a CAGR of ~27% during FY2018–21E. The growth would be mainly driven by
improved product mix. However, given the concerns on corporate governance and riskreward,we remain Neutral. Also, current valuations capturer the best-case scenario for the company.
