Valuation and our take

At the upper end of the price band of Rs 1,500 and on an expanded equity base, the company is being valued at a market cap of Rs 24,492 crore. Hence, the issue is demanding a market cap to sales (FY20) of 6.7 times, which looks on the higher side. Although the business model of the company is not comparable with any currently listed pharma company, other pharma companies of comparable revenue are available at less than five times market cap to sales. When it comes to PE, the offer is demanding a PE ratio of 31.69 times of its FY20 EPS. Nonetheless, if we annualise EPS (20.24*4) of Q1FY21, the offer is available at a PE of 19.5x. It will be naïve to assume that the company will be able to replicate its growth in the first quarter for the entire year. Assuming a tempered growth of 40 per cent, EPS for FY21 comes at Rs 66, which discounts the offer price at 22 times.
