Jubilant Pharmova (Previously Jubilant Life Sciences)

Hi Excel Monkey,

Even if the rupee falls by 1rupee more i.e closes around 56.61 levels or less than 57 … they can post a bottom-line of around ( 110 -20 =90 cr atleast ) which will be treated as positive by market… Personally i do not see rupee falling much from these levels may be upto 57 can be possible in the next 1-2 qr which will have a marginal forex m2m loss of 25-30 cr… It should be on radar for the next 1-2 months and on any declines to 170 levels can be bought …

The stock started moving after their AGM so there must have been some trigger there.

On Mcap/Sales compared to peers this is quiet cheap. This was one factor which had driven Wockhardt earlier.

Also the debt repayment does not kick off till FY14. Would that mean anything here?

What a run from 160 to 220

Maza aa Gaya except as always could not buy enough

Technically script will reach much higher levels on crossing its 225 resistance… targets can be somewhere around 340-360 … Dollar movement and Q2 results are extremely important…If PAT is around 110-120 cr… see blockbuster rally…

Up 10% today. Edelweiss recently initiated jubilant. http://www.edelresearch.com/rpt/showPdf.aspx?id=21560&reportname=/CRAMS_-_sector_update-Oct-12-EDEL.pdf

Hi Hitesh and Excel,

How would you read Jubilant Life’s Q2 results… Why Markets are reacting negatively to it? I do not see any reason for down side here as the company is on the verge of making about 1050cr EBIDTA for this year. EV/EBIDTA is damn cheap around 6.8. Please comment .

I think the stock has reacted negatively as the margins have comedown in LSI segment and it is correcting a bit after a run up of good 35-40% from 165 levels

The stock should look up once they convince the market that they can keep their guidance of 20% growth with stable margins

Hitesh bhai,

What’s your reading of jubilant s numbers?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

I think till the markets get over the concerns of 1. high debt and 2. forex problems, there is unlikely to be a big thumbs up to the stock.

For me stocks with very high debt is a big no no – no matter how good the story.

I dont have to kiss every girl so will give this one a miss.

Here I come to know the secret about Hitesh’s success in stocks - he thinks a stock is a girl and whenever he buys the stock, he feels like kissing that girl.Success Mantra for successful Stock Investor -one need to fall in love with the stocks to be successful.

Good one Manish bhai :)BTW, what you said is also very true :slight_smile:

girl.Success -one

the secret is to have a short affair with the temperamental ones and marry the steady ones.

Hitesh bhai, too many affairs can lead to trouble also :wink:

HItesh Bhai,

Need your valuable advice here… bought Jubilant life at 220rs… now its down to 175 and it has been issued a warning letter from USFDA. What would be your advise to me now. I know that the price i enetered is a good price from longterm perspective but these short term movements are scaring me … How would you rate cmp for this script…??? Its a good hold from 2yrs point of view??

sandeep,

the canadian plant contributes around 2% to the overall revenues. so there should be no major impact.

You entry point is high but if you can have a view of around 2 years, I think stock can give good returns provided there are no other issues and no major currency fluctuations.

hitesh.

  • The Utilizations were 65-70% in the CMO and Niacinamide capacities during the year. The Symetet current capacity utilization is at 20-25% and implementing some changes at the plant. This expected to be improving to 30-35% in FY'14.
  • The lower margins in Pharma business during the quarter is on the back of 1) the margins in Drug Discovery were just at break even and 2) Also, lower margins from generic business during the year.
  • It expects the approval for Radiopharma products in Canada market in FY'14 and US market in the FY'15.
  • There are temporary revenue deferrals at the Montreal facility due to USFDA Warning Letter. However, Warning letter has been responded well in time. Further, the FDA has indicated their agreement with the majority of corrective actions identified and No major revenue impact is expected.
  • The Capex was Rs 360 crore for the FY'13 and expected to be Rs 250 crore for the FY'14.
  • The tax rate expected to be 30% for the FY'14.
  • It expects to repay debt of Rs 408 crore in the FY'14
  • The Company expects the H2'FY 14 will be better than H1'FY14 due to the better capacity utilizations of the Life Science Ingredients'.
  • It expects the growth momentum in revenue and EBITDA to continue for FY'14. In the Pharmaceuticals segment, strategy of new product launches and geographic expansion will continue to drive growth while the key driver in the Life Science Ingredients segment will be higher capacity utilization in the Nutrition Ingredients and Crop Science intermediates supported by backward integration of Pyridine.
  • The Strong operational results to lead to robust balance sheet with Debt to EBITDA multiples below 2.5 times in medium term

This looks interestingly poised. The management is serious about debt reduction. The recent price hikes augurs well from FCF generation over FY14-16.

The current downtrend from overhang of FDA warning can present a good entry point with considerable upside for next 12-18 months.

The Big debt will still weigh it’s pressure on the stock price but given the current lows (trading at 5 yr low forward multiple of 5x FY14E as compared to 18-20 times forward during good times) this could be a good opportunity as a turnaround bet.

Views invited.

Don’t remember if I mailed you a detailed research on jubilant.

I think the most critical issue for them is the pricing pressure they have been seeing in their key products ie niacinamide and symtet etc

but overall I think risk reward is favourable

Let me know of you need a recent initiation on the name
