As markets enter 2026, investors are navigating a phase shaped by capacity expansion, margin normalisation, and selective sector leadership rather than broad-based rallies. Against this backdrop, the New Year Stock Picks 2026 by Bajaj Broking Research Desk brings together a focused set of opportunities across healthcare, banking, metals, and consumption, combining fundamental visibility with technical confirmation.
Buying Range: ₹1,060–₹1,078
Target Price: ₹1,218
Upside: 13%
Time Period: 12 Months
Investment View
Max Healthcare’s investment opportunity is driven by an expansion cycle that is ROCE-accretive, sustained improvements in occupancy and ARPOB mix, and strengthening cash flows. The strategy prioritises brownfield expansion, asset-light growth, and operating leverage from newly acquired and greenfield units.
Cumulative project capex of approximately ₹6,487 crore is committed up to FY29, with a pipeline that more than doubles potential capacity over the medium term. The business is positioned to sustain high-teens revenue growth and deliver margin expansion as incremental beds scale. Network-level ROCE is above 28%, with existing units at approximately 38%, while net debt remains below 1x EBITDA
Valuation
Growth is supported by phased brownfield additions, greenfield hospitals, and asset-light facilities across metros and emerging clusters. Momentum is driven by the ramp-up of Dwarka, Noida, Lucknow, and Nagpur; ARPOB improvement from case-mix enrichment; and rising volumes in oncology and transplants. As assets mature and utilisation increases, the FY28 EBITDA base expands.
Applying a 28x EV/EBITDA multiple to FY28 earnings results in a target price of ₹1218.
Buying Range: ₹285–₹292
Target: ₹323
Return Opportunity: 12%
