The company’s plants adhere to US FDA quality standards and the products are WHO – GMP certified. The company’s expansion plans, exports and R&D initiatives should a dd to the topline and in-turn improve the profitability. Valuation: The company is expanding its capacity and has laid thrust on exports. The company should hugely benefit from the outsourcing of manufacturing of pharmaceutical products immensely. The company’s focus on biotechnology products and contract manufacturing should lead to huge benefits. We expect the company to produce improved results in the coming quarters and scale new highs. The company is turning around and would also be a takeover target for MNCs who are eyeing cheap outsourcing companies with good quality standards. We give an Out performer rating to the company.
