Should you Invest?
Sudarshan Pharma plans to expand their business by continuing to file product registrations in international markets. In FY18, the company posted the revenue of INR 8976 lakhs & in FY 19 the company delivered the topline of INR 14001 lakhs. The company’s profit margin in FY 18 was 0.8% which improved to 1.7% in FY 19
However, the IPO is asking a P/E multiple of 41x based on FY19 financials which reflects very stretched valuation. Further, it is also high compared to its peers like Torrent Pharma (P/E is 38x), Alembic (P/E is 24.10x), etc. The investors may “subscribe” to Sudarshan Pharma IPO for long term gains.
