Divi's Laboratories is India's largest API and CDMO company, reporting strong FY26 results with 12.9% revenue growth and 18% profit growth, driven by its high-margin custom synthesis business. The company operates across generic APIs, custom synthesis for 12 of the top 20 global pharma companies, and nutraceuticals, maintaining a virtually debt-free balance sheet. At a trailing P/E of 66.5x, the stock is priced for continued double-digit growth, though the consensus analyst rating is Hold with limited near-term upside.
HUDCO is a Mini-Ratna CPSE with ~81.8% government ownership, operating at the intersection of housing finance and urban infrastructure lending. The company has delivered strong financial performance with PAT growing at a 25% CAGR over FY22-FY26E and ROE expanding to ~16%, driven by improving asset quality and operating leverage. However, at 15-16x P/E, the stock has already re-rated significantly from its 2022 lows, raising questions about whether the premium valuation is fully justified.
LIC Housing Finance delivered resilient Q4 FY26 results with 9% profit growth to ₹1,497 crore, despite a 1% revenue decline and NIM compression to 2.80%.

Trading at ~5.2x P/E and ~0.9x P/B, the stock offers deep value but faces headwinds from NIM pressure, subdued revenue growth, and intensifying bank competition.
