Should you buy, sell or hold Sun Pharma shares?
Jefferies: Buy – Target Price: 1,310
“Sun’s 2QFY24 revenue was in-line but EBITDA was 6% below estimate due to higher opex. Global specialty sales at USD 240 million grew 19% YoY/3% QoQ. India sales outperformed the market (11% YoY) after a soft 1Q but US Generic sales declined sharply QoQ due to lower sales of gRevlimid. Core earnings driver remain intact led by specialty sales ramp-up and India/EM presence. We lower FY25/26 EPS by 1/2% on higher opex but maintain ‘Buy’ with unchanged Target Price of Rs 1,310.”

Prabhudas Lilladher: Buy – Target Price: Rs 1,280
“Our FY24/FY25 earnings estimates broadly remains unchanged. Sun Pharma (SUNP) Q2FY24 EBIDTA was in line with our estimate, aided by domestic formulation and specialty sales. Overall specialty sales, GMs continue to remain healthy. Over last few years SUNP dependency on US generics has reduced and company’s growth is more functional on specialty, RoW and domestic pharma business that has strong growth visibility. Furthermore, acquisition of Concert Pharma along with progress of other pipelines provides visibility to SUNP’s specialty pipeline beyond FY25. We maintain ‘Buy’ rating at a Target Price of Rs 1,280 (Rs 1,265 earlier) based on 26x Sept 2025E earnings. SUNP remains our top pick in large cap space.”

Motilal Oswal Financial Services: Buy – Target Price: 1,310
“Sun Pharma (SUNP) delivered an in-line 2QFY24 financial performance. Sun Pharma garnered healthy growth across specialty as well as branded generics businesses. It continues to implement its initiatives towards: a) an improvement in prescriptions for commercialized specialty products, and b) filing of new products as well as clinical trials for products under development. We retain our estimates for FY24/FY25. We continue to value Sun Pharma at 26x 12M forward earnings to arrive at our Target Price of Rs 1,310. Sun Pharma is well-positioned to reinforce its specialty franchise through the addition of new products, the expansion of its reach, and the superior implementation of its existing products. It continues to outperform both in the branded generics market of India (DF) and other emerging markets. Reiterate ‘BUY’.”

What’s clear from an investigation by Igor’s Lab is that the manufacturer’s specs sheet won’t always provide an accurate answer to that question. Wallossek found two out of the six coolers ripped apart and prodded for testing did not contain the copper parts the manufacturer advertised and were usually replaced by copper/zinc alloy, or brass by another name.
Igor’s Lab ripped apart six 120mm liquid coolers for testing:
- Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper X-Flow
- Aqua Computer Airplex Radical 2/120
- Bykski CR-RD120RC-TN-V2 Full Copper
- EKWB Quantum Surface P120M

Read moreSo far, Manor Lords has made a name for itself thanks to its quirky medieval setting and brilliant city-building and management features. While small pitched battles are possible, the fighting is far from the star of the show.
This fact was made abundantly clear even before Manor Lords entered early access. The developer Greg “Slavic Magic” Styczeń wrote a lengthy post on the game’s Steam page explaining what Manor Lords really is. “Manor Lords is not a Total War competitor,” Styczeń says in the blog post. “It’s a city builder with battles. Yes, battles are there, but not as huge or as frequent as some of you might expect. The majority of gameplay is focused on city building and management.”
You can even opt out of fighting altogether, as there are thre…
Read moreWhen Hidetaka Miyazaki flew to Los Angeles for this year’s Summer Game Fest, his very presence became a news story. Some speculated that Miyazaki was there to reveal a new game (though he was really just there to promote Shadow of the Erdtree), but it was also a story simply because it mattered to people. A selfie taken in the hotel got more than a million views on Twitter. Even though his games have been popular for more than a decade at this point, that sort of fame is new for the Dark Souls creator.
Before he got people excited by flying to Los Angeles for the weekend, I spoke with Miyazaki for PC Gamer’s cover story on Shadow of the Erdtree, digging into the significance of this expansion for both FromSoftware and him as a person. How had Elden Ring’s success—25 million …
Read moreCreature collecting and survival crafting game Palworld took the internet, and my own nightly gaming time, totally hostage at the beginning of this year. People like the Pals, and not least because it was a Pokémon-inspired open world game. Now officially on the list of other Pokémon-derived features is a Pal Arena that Pocketpair revealed exactly 10 seconds of footage for during today’s Triple I Initiative showcase.
This was already a known feature, appearing on the Palworld early access roadmap as “Pal Arena (PvP for Pals).” It’s no surprise that folks are hollering for a head to head mode in a creature collecting game and the comparisons to Pokémon Colosseum will abound, I’m sure.
In those scant seconds of footage you can see two players facing…
Read moreNo Man’s Sky is getting a new update, a mere month and a bit after it got its last one. The 4.2 Interceptor patch, which releases today, brings new enemies, new resources, and a new starship class, which Hello Games says is No Man’s Sky’s “most varied starship to date”. It also makes a few performance and visual tweaks, especially for users in VR.
The update introduces new “corrupted planets,” which have fallen prey to “a darkness” that is spreading through the Sentinel horde. “Many fortified worlds have succumbed to corruption, with strange crystals sprouting from the earth and their robot guardians twisted into bizarre new forms,” reads the Interceptor update’s announcement, inviting you to “explore these purple-hazed worlds to find new buildings, crashed interceptors, secret eq…
Read moreThings are looking good for Remnant 2, with Gunfire Games’ co-op soulslike shooter sequel already doubling the peak concurrent user record of the first game. With a SteamDB peak concurrent count of 109,053 players, more than twice the 48,289 players that Remnant: From the Ashes had online at one time back on its August 2019 release.
As spotted by Eurogamer, that means Remnant 2’s launch weekend has peaked higher than recent big-budget AAA titles like Resident Evil Village and Battlefield 2042.
It’s a ringing endorsement for Remnant, a game that takes the soulslike genre and blends it with a third person shooting and looting formula not entirely unlike Destiny, but sets it in a world and gives it a rhythm entirely unlike Destiny. Some players have encountered bugs ra…
Read moreActivision has removed the Nickmercs skin from Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone, following an anti-LGBTQ+ comment the streamer made earlier this week.
On June 7, retired Halo pro and MLG executive Chris Puckett tweeted a video of an attack on pro-LGBTQ+ demonstrators outside of a school board meeting in Glendale, CA.
“This happened 4 blocks from my Overwatch League apartment,” Puckett tweeted. “Americans are in a sad place right now. Let people love who they love and live your own life.”
In response, Nickmercs tweeted, “They should leave little children alone. That’s the real issue.”
As noted by Dexerto, the tweet sparked an immediate backlash. “Who is this they and what terrible act is everyone afraid of?” Puckett replied. “I think/hope the goal of most …
Read moreWhat we have here are two graphics cards that were meant to retail for $899 when they launched. And, honestly, that was a laughable price for both GPUs. The Radeon RX 7900 XT is the second-tier RDNA 3 card, coming in just $100 below the top card in the chiplet GPU stack, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but with a 10% dip in gaming performance.
If you were spending that much cash, you’d always kick yourself for not spending that little bit more on the clearly superior card. Thankfully that performance delta has only grown, and now you can pick up the RX 7900 XT for $699.99 at Newegg that makes it a far more tempting proposition.
The cheapest RX 7900 XTX I can find is $920, which means you’re spending 24% less cash on an RX 7900 XT for 90% of the gaming performance of the top card. Th…
