Cipla Share Price Target 2026: The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, remained volatile this week driven by renewed concerns over rising crude oil prices and amid stalled US-Iran negotiations.
While some stocks have maintained their positions because of fundamentals and structural tailwinds, others are going into a tailspin.

Founded in 1935, Cipla has a major presence across India, South Africa, and North America. The company has 46 advanced manufacturing hubs, producing over 1,500 products. Its key segments span across respiratory, anti-retroviral and cardiology. Recognised for its role in making HIV/AIDS treatment affordable and inclusive, Cipla has a market cap of over Rs 1 lakh crore.
At 9:33 AM today, shares of Cipla were trading at Rs 1,288.95, down 1.29 per cent from the previous close.

Citi has maintained a target price of Rs 1,530 on Cipla. The coverage was initiated after the company secured final approval from the USFDA for its generic version of Ventolin HFA, a widely used respiratory drug.
Cipla said its wholly owned subsidiary, Cipla USA Inc., has secured approval for Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Aerosol (90 mcg), the first AB-rated generic therapeutic equivalent of Ventolin HFA, marketed by GlaxoSmithKline.
The drug is used to treat and prevent bronchospasm in patients aged four years and older, including those with obstructive airway diseases, and to treat exercise-induced bronchospasm.
