This is the opinion of experts regarding investment
- According to brokerage firm HDFC Securities, the financial report of Fortis has been excellent in the first quarter due to the better performance of COVID occupancy and diagnostics business. In such a situation, due to high revenue growth and improvement in margin profile, there is a possibility of further growth in it. Investors can invest in this stock at a target price of Rs 330. Apart from this, if there is a slippage in its price, then at the rate of Rs 256-257, you can add more stocks to it i.e. increase the number of shares.
- Share market expert Dr. Ravi Verma has cautioned investors about investing in Fortis. He says that there is no need to panic about selling in pharma stock when the market picks up, but the case of Fortis is different. In the first quarter of FY 2022, the company’s financial results have been better but less than expected. According to Ravi Verma, there is a possibility of a correction of 3-4 percent in this even further. He said that it will give returns in the long term but in comparison, you can earn more profit by investing in Sun Pharma and Cadila. He has asked investors to book profits on their investments and consider investing in other pharma stocks.
