Poly Medicure - at an inflection point!

All leading OEMs are looking at manufacturing out of India. There are huge distribution networks that are looking at outsourcing manufacturing from India. These people are looking at Polymed - as a leading manufacturer of a basket of products

OEM vertical is our focus area. We plan to scale up this vertical significantly. As mentioned before there is interest being shown by lot of global players. Let us see what emerges.

Donald paaji will not Polymedicure ‘brand’ be diluted if they pursue OEM deals in a significant way ? Or are products ( OEM supplies) retailed under Poly medicure brand presently and will be in future ?

Mallikarjun,

Please call me Donald.

For the size of a company like Poly Medicure today, its no wonder that its own brand sales are miniscule - as its spending power for creating ist own branding in global markets.

The only way it can scale will be through big-time volumes that are with the largest OEMs of Medical devices - who own brand and mindspace of doctors/hospitals. All global OEMs are trying to rationalise their cost structures by outsourcing manfacturing. So its a win-win relationship that can be created.

Poly Medicure is sure to strike a deal sooner than later with OEMs/large distributors - due to comparable quality with superior cost-structures vs the leading players. They also have the requisite USFDA approved facilities.

Completely with you… Its too difficult to break into the big league (B. Braun, BD etc)…

Hope they don’t dilute their brand by focusing too much on OEMs… Just smartly scout OEMs for knowhow and to penetrate USA…

Sincerely hope they ramp up domestic operations, exports and then OEMs (supplies) in the same order as indicated in management Q&A…

Ayush, Donald and others,

From a valuation perspective, Poly medicure looks like its fully valued based on Donald’s projections for FY14 ie 17-18.

Looking at the historical PE of Poly, from July 2010 till Jan 2013 period, its been 16/17. Graph attached.

I reckon accumulation/“buy on declines” would be when the price falls below 300, thoughts?

There has been no comment on Q2 results. It seems EPS of 18 will be very much possible. After having gone through the ARs and the management interviews, I agree that it can do very well in next 2-3 years. I have not digged into Shilpa but which one looks more undervalued at CMP? Polymed has corrected a bit and now trading near 150 DMA with low volumes.

I agree with Rohit here.

Good chance of touching 18-19 EPS for the year.

So Poly looks attractive at 16-17 PE given mgt Q&A and past track record…

The predictions were spot on. Do we have any guesses on what EPS FY15 might enjoy?

Results seem broadly in line… the dip in operating profit in q3 fy 14 as compared to q2 fy 14 is mainly due to higher other expenses…(?? forex)

Company should report full year eps figures of closer to 20 per share… at cmp of around 350 it quotes at 17.5 times fy 14 figures…

Neither too cheap nor too expensive. :slight_smile:
