Motilal Oswal Financial Services is optimistic about EPL, a company that makes special packaging. They’ve kept their “Buy” recommendation for the stock, meaning they think the price will go up. Despite some changes in the company’s leadership, Oswal believes EPL is a good investment.
The brokerage set a target price of ₹280 per share. This is based on estimates of how much money EPL will make in the future, specifically in the year 2027. Essentially, they believe the stock is currently undervalued.
EPL is going through a change in its leadership. Hemant Bakshi will become the CEO in 2025, replacing Anand Kripalu who is retiring. This transition doesn’t seem to worry the analysts at Motilal Oswal.
Blackstone, a large investment firm, still owns a part of EPL and continues to think the company has a lot of potential for growth. Although Blackstone might sell its shares later, they believe in EPL’s future.
The analysts at Motilal Oswal expect EPL to grow steadily over the next few years. They predict sales will increase by 9% each year, earnings by 12%, and profits by 20%. These are all based on improving efficiency and expanding into new markets, specifically in the Biaxially Oriented Nylon (BNC) segment.
Indorama Ventures, which owns 24.9% of EPL, has also been helping the company. Their new plant was built very quickly thanks to this support.
“The future looks bright for EPL, driven by strong support and strategic growth plans.”
