Was doing ROE Dupont analysis
With above data, ROE is reduced substantially due to increase in assets, which is due to Heinz India acquasition.
Can anyone shed light on how they are going to improve the Asset Turns? Or is it going to be in this same range? Any guidance from management?
In general what strategy company uses to improve asset turns when it acquires another company?
Has anyone observed tax rates paid by the company? In screener it appears to be less around 10% compared to other FMCG companies 20 to 25%
Anyone knows the reason for the same
This is because the company has two plants in Sikkim, which is an excise free zone. It will remain so till FY23.

This report was an excellent read, thanks for sharing. There were some points on Zydus which were never clear from prior investor presentations, and this report does an excellent job on bringing this out.
With complete credit to the original author, I would like to bring out an analysis on Page 8 of the report which helped me understand this company a lot better:-
Solid diversification between product categories now - though the acquisition Zydus has moved from a company very dependant on Sugar Free to a very healthy mix across high growth categories - Complan now contributes 21% of revenues, Glucon D is 26% and Nycil + Everyuth + Nutralite make another 27%
The business now has a strong level of seasonality involved with Complan, Nycil and Glucon D having a high percentage of revenues on the summer season
All categories still have scope for distribution expansion within the current network - be in the Heinz range in Zydus strong pharmacy distribution or the Zydus products in Heinz acquired General Trade network

I can’t understand how a health drink like Complan has seasonal sales. I find everyone in our circle consume health drinks (Complan, Horlicks, Bournvita, Ensure etc.) throughout the year.
Some buying from the promoters for the past few days. Stake increased by 0.3% as they have bought ~1.9 lakh shares from the open market (~29 crores)
Hi have just started tracking the company -
Has anyone made an EPS projection taking into consideration the taxation change. As per my understanding FY24 EPS will be close to Rs.50.
Also had seen the previous article where management had guided 4500CR revenue by FY25 I believe, any chance of the company achieving this? Right now it seems very distant?
Thank you
ZYDUS WELLNESS | PROMOTERS BOUGHT NET 90,502 SHARES THROUGH OPEN MARKET
My 2 cents, I am no expert.
why is this stock languishing, they have more than few iconic brands? - agree with you, I am having a small position in this stock and planning to buy more if it dips further, like you feel this stock is indeed not performing as per what it holds. Market Cap/Sales its almost at covid levels - when they are having pricing power and monopoly products like Sugar Free. There was some small insider buying in september, lets see if further there is any insider buying - as that gives a bit of confidence to us minority shareholders.
Will you pick up this over Zydus life which owns it and what would be the rationale? We have many such situations where 2 companies are listed and one has majority stake in other…so whats the decision making process when you invest in one over the other? - Generally holding companies do well at fag end of bull market, when its time to switch to cash. Also, Zydus Life has US pharma exposure which is more uncertain and for me more complex to understand than selling Sugar Free, Nycil and Glucon D.
Actually, Zydus Life did a buyback when that stock was in the doldrums, if Zydus Wellness can do the same (considering same promoters), it will bring some upward trajectory to the stock.
As per me the main overhang is that tax is going to rise and hence earnings will remain flat over the next 2 years
Could you please share the date for increase and the quantum if available with you? Thanks in advance.
Currently it is not paying tax, as per my understanding over the course of next 2 years they will exit from SEZ and be liable for full 25% corporate tax. I have not fully studied this but this is the reason I decided to hold back on my investment.
Not a good news for their flagship business
But they dont use Erythritol, do they? They use Stevia, Sucralose or Aspartame for sweetening.
But yes, i have doubts on all these classes of artificial sweeteners and also so called zero calorie cholesterol ads, as they just induce you to consume more which is not a good thing…
Natural Sugar and Oil are both good if had in moderation…
more buying from the promoters; ~75 crore purchase last Friday alone and the promoter shareholding has increased by 1.55% compared to May-2022
Sorry for my ignorance, but why would they exit SEZ ?
Continued weakness on margins in Q4 (24% in Q4FY20, 22% in Q4FY21 and now 20% in FY22) and this WHO release in combination may have lead to the fall today!
