Reuters Market Eye - Nomura upgrades Fortis Healthcare Ltd to "buy" from "neutral", but cuts its target price to 124 rupees from 170 rupees, citing recent underperformance and improvement in return ratios.

"Near-term ROE (Return on equity) is low at 1-3 percent but we expect average incremental ROE over the next five years to be 33 percent," said Nomura in a report.

The investment bank adds that in its view Fortis has come to the end of an investment cycle and will now focus on cash flows and profitability.
