PE - 17.90
Industry PE - 28.68

Rest fundamentals are good on Quarterly/Yearly results.

Indian pharma stocks seems to have very low moat. A strong company can bite the dust very next day due to adverse USFDA observations.

Some Ray of Hope for Auro

News - Unit I, XI, IX - OAI from USFDA and Anti-trust lawsuits
Fact 1 - All these 3 Units manufacturer APIs
Fact 2 - APIs contribute 5% of Revenue
Judgement 1 - Impact of Anti-trust law suit will not be severe on immediate basis as Auro is (or must be) defending its position. Legal proceeding takes its own time.

Hence price range of 650 to 670 looks lucrative.

At present - there are 3 major events which can destroy this stock

  1. US Anti-trust Law suit
  2. USFDA observations on - Unit I, XI, IX
  3. USFDA observations on - Unit III

No clarification from Company available.This uncertainty is plummeting the stock.

However many sell side analyst reports are positive but they cant be trusted.

Result of Law suit might have been devastating if it was against 2 or 3 companies. It is against 23 companies. USA cannot take action against all pharma players

Any Idea on Q4FY1819 - ConCall Transcript or any summary of same?

It shall throw some lights on on-going concerns,

thanks

Case of Diworsification?

This is what I do not appreciate. Investing in totally unrelated business and that too retail. This is a red flag for me as I am invested in Aurobindo.

promoters are investing in personal capacity or Aurobindo pharm is investing the money in real estate

@hitesh2710 @swapnilyerande The observations sound serious. Your views, please?

Promoters of Aurobindo Pharma to fund Dr T Gurunath Reddy in his buy-out of stake held by Parkway Pantai, backed by IHH Healthcare, in Continental Hospitals. Deal worth 600cr

Have been hearing about such issues in the industry for last 4 years. Why can’t these large companies get their act together, even after so many instances of such lapses by almost every player in the market!

Failure to consider failure batch or components (Data integrity issue) is a quite serious observation.

This may result in warning letter escalating into an import alert
