Future Prospects

Granules India is expanding its base business by entering into new geographies like Europe, Canada, and South Africa. It also is adding new molecules to the base business and focusing on operational efficiencies and process innovation through R&D.

The company targets volume-based products and large scale manufacturing with competitive advantage & secured supply source for the customers. Scale gives the company to produce low cost ingredients and discourages other players from entering the same ingredient over medium term.

At R&D front, the company is developing controlled substances and niche/differentiated products in varied dosage forms. The plan is to have average 7- 8 ANDAs/Dossiers launches per year. The aim to use inhouse API manufacturing for keep formulations costs lower.

Positive triggers

  • Opportunity offered by growing Metformin market
  • Capacity addition for Paracetamol, and guaifenesin APIs
  • Established leadership position in its core molecules in regulated markets
  • Financial deleveraging leading to rise in equity value.

Risks

  • Regulatory Compliance risk (USFDA)
  • Negative cash flows due to regular capital investment
  • In past there were issues on investment amount invested in new capacities but offlate the disclosures have improved.

Valuation

Granules predominantly an API company has large investment requirement. It has reasonable ROE with and growing sales.

Backed by capacity addition, the company is expected to report 30% growth in FY21 and ~15% thereafter.

At current price of Rs. 260/share, it trades at P/E ratio 19x on base of high margins, and Price to Sales of 2.5x including debt.

Based on our calculation the company trades at 17x FY22 EPS. We believe Granules is a good buy close to Rs. 220/share. You can add partially at current price and wait for market volatility to add more.

Granules India has medium term growth opportunity so can be added over next 6 months.

While the future potential is large, the execution, competition and regulation can lead to lower than expected performance and hence disappointment. If we find such risks that outweigh future prospects, we will recommend to exit Granules even at a small loss. 

Note for Booster Stocks: These stocks are more volatile that large cap stocks. They are recommended to enhance your portfolio returns. Should any new information lead us to conclude that the recommended stock may not deliver as per expectations; we will recommend you to sell it. You are expected to act/exit even at a loss. You need to think portfolio and not individual stocks.
