In USA one has to have local partner for marketing biologics. And their tie up with Mylan ( now upjohn pfizer) will sure help them a lot.

Biocon plans to bring down the cost of insulinto 10 cents (roughly Rs 7) from the $ 5 (Rs 350) currently.

Thanks
Ashit

My understanding is that this offer from Biocon is to the under-developed countries only and they expect big orders from the governments to fulfill this promise. This is a win-win offer from Biocon - will improve capacity utilization and thereby profits.

Sales, profit & margin has grown in last one year. However, Price has fallen from high. There has been significant PE contraction. Valuation wise looks good. May be right time to accumulate.

Disc: Not invested. Tracking. Sector is outside circle of competence.

Looking into Biocon performance -
The stock is falling for the last 200 sessions

I calculated the parameters (from the data from screener.in):
5yr median sales growth is 8.34%
5yr annual profit growth is 11.21% but the share price has increased 3 times (24.5% CAGR)
The quarterly profit growth for last 4 quarters is -ve (-2.54%)
The QoQ sales growth is 8% (OK)
The YoY quarterly sales growth is 33% (seems good)
PEG is 3.2

  1. Business wise this company seems to be doing good with introduction of biosimilars
    [launched Trastuzumab Biosimilar for cancer - has approval in 65 countries,
    launched Insulin Glargine Biosimilar EU GMP compliance received etc)
  2. the bio-similar business is also expanding quite healthily.

Would like to know you guys thought on:
Why is the correction happening for biocon (is it because of falling quarterly income)?
Is this a good time to accumulate?

thanks in advance

Results for this Q :
YoY - Revenues up, but profits are down, margins almost same (dip of 10 basis point )
QoQ - flattish
Biocon%20result

Last year sept had exceptional item in Profit. While revenue growth in biologics segment QoQ seems good but expenses have gone up much higher, hence profit margin seems down. Biologics need to stabilize, currently seems lumpy.

I agree fully to you . But the most significant development is in the revenue of Biologics and it remains on course to achieve revenue of $1Billion in FY2022 . I am really happy to see the progress .

And not to forget the Biocon planned expansion with new facility in API in Vizag and Malaysia is also there which will add to the bottom line by FY 2022.

This finception article tries to present the story with good graphics.

Big thanks to @rks00 for identifying the opportunity early on, I had the opportunity to invest based on the authentic work shared before people took notice of the story.
