Systematix's INR 650 target keeps the focus on growth after second-quarter value of new business came in 2.2 percent above its estimate. Elara Securities retained a Buy rating and set an INR 740 target, while proposed distribution reforms remain a risk because commission changes could pressure credit-life sales, Business Standard reported.
