AZITHROMYCIN API is produced by Kopran
Some more of insider buying seen recently.
But not a significant amount.
If there if significant insider buying, then it will give some confidence to retail investors.
Till then tracking this one.

That’s not buying. It’s transfer/inheritance of shares. I think she is wife of someone who passed away recently…Maybe Rajendra Somani who passed away in July last year?
Ohk. Thanks for clarifying.
Do they post any concall, tried searching in youtube couldn’t find any. Wanted to understand what is status of capex…
Unfortunately they don’t do concalls. Just occasional Investor presentations and yearly AR.
PLEASE do read credit reports for any extra information and the last resort is to write / call the company itself.
redgards,

Do you know how much would they need to spend to get to the projected capacities?
its cash conversion cycle is extending too much. can you explain the reason? @RajeevJ
To know the answers to the above, these are the options I guess
- Call the Investor Relations/company secretary and find the information.
- Go through the credit report by rating agencies and find the answers
- Last and best is to follow some industry experts on social media / do on-ground scuttlebutt if possible.
I was disappointed with Kopran as only in the Peak cycle they came up with the Investor Presentations and then nothing. Forget the con calls.
So in this scenario, the above options are only there to get the required information.

@Pranshinv and Others - are you able get any more info on what can pan out for Kopran’s in FY24. What kind of number we can see? Its very unfortunate that management is not doing any concall or sharing any info on their growth plans.
Please try calling their Investor Relations and ask for all info you want to know.
The max that will happen is - they won’t give it. Then it’s better. One stock less to study!
