Fortis Healthcare Ltd is one of India’s leading integrated healthcare providers, operating 36 hospitals across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Dubai, with ~4,000 operational beds. Through its majority-owned subsidiary SRL Diagnostics, it also runs one of the country’s largest diagnostic chains. Despite strong revenue growth and institutional backing, recent financials show a sharp decline in profitability—net profit down 68% YoY—and critically low return ratios (ROE: 0.7%, ROCE: 2.23%). This article provides a realistic outlook and share price targets for each year from 2026 to 2030, based on fundamentals and sector dynamics.
Given extreme P/E, collapsing profits, and low capital efficiency, upside is severely limited unless earnings recover sharply. Targets assume:
EPS normalization by FY27 post one-time adjustments
P/E compression from 370x to 60–80x over 3–4 years
No dividend payout until profitability stabilizes

FAQs
A realistic range is ₹820 – ₹920, assuming no major deterioration in hospital operations.
By 2030, it could reach ₹980 – ₹1,200 if profitability and ROE recover sustainably.
No—those levels are unrealistic. The stock trades above ₹850, so ₹40/₹50 likely confuses face value (₹10) with market price.
Promoters hold 31.17%. The company is now controlled by IHH Healthcare Berhad (Malaysia), which acquired it in 2018.
Technically yes—but only 0.12% yield. Payout is negligible due to weak profits.
Due to 68% profit decline, near-zero ROE, and concerns about capital inefficiency, despite healthy sales growth.
Only for high-risk investors who believe in a full operational turnaround. Not suitable for safety-focused or income-seeking portfolios.
Final Verdict
Fortis Healthcare is a high-risk, turnaround candidate with strong brand value but severe near-term financial stress. Its current valuation (P/E 370x) is unjustifiable given collapsing profits and abysmal returns. Our 2026–2030 price targets (₹820–₹1,200) reflect cautious optimism—contingent on earnings recovery and ROE improvement. Investors should wait for clear signs of profitability stabilization before considering entry.
