Emcure Pharmaceuticals IPO Review
Emcure Pharmaceuticals is a well-known participant in both the domestic and global pharmaceutical industries, according to the brokerage. The firm has a robust R&D infrastructure, a big, diverse, and rapidly expanding product range, and a track record of establishing brands.
Emcure has consistently increased its top line, but recent depreciation and interest costs have caused a small drop in profitability.
But certain significant concerns need to be carefully considered. Because the pharmaceutical sector is so heavily regulated, Emcure’s raw material supply chain might be disrupted. Furthermore, the business depends on other partners to sell and distribute its products.
The brokerage thinks the 36.6x P/E value is appropriate given the company’s capabilities, growth trajectory, and potential for debt reduction after the IPO. Applying for this IPO with a long-term perspective is recommended.
Anand Rathi Research
The brokerage claims that, in terms of valuation, the firm is reasonably valued at an upper range of 36x P/E following the issuance of equity shares on an FY24 earning basis. Due to market tailwinds and business scalability, the brokerage thinks the company has room for improvement. For this reason, the brokerage suggests giving the IPO a “SUBSCRIBE – long term” rating.
