Valuation and risks: We increase our earnings estimates by ~2%; modelling revenue / EBITDA / PAT CAGR of 10% / 12% / 13% over FY21-23E. Upgrade to BUY (from ADD) with a SoTP-based revised target price of Rs 850 (Rs 800 earlier). At our target price, the stock will trade at 39x P/E multiple Mar-23E. Key downside risk is structural deceleration in India household insecticides and steep input cost pressure.
