Stock Valuation and Recommendation
With the domestic formulation business reporting strong growth for the second quarter running, US business expected to receive a considerable boost by the USFDA approval for the Indore SEZ and strong traction in its institutional business (expected to garner Rs3600 mn in FY13E + Artesunate Amodiaquine approval expected to generate revenues from Q4FY13E); Sushil Finance maintains their positive view on the stock. Also with the de-growth witnessed in Russia being a one time phenomenon, they believe Ipca’s branded generics business will also add to the growth in a big way in FY14E. Sushil Finance thereby recommends a HOLD on the stock with a TP of Rs441 (14x its FY14E EPS of Rs31.5).
