The benchmark Nifty50 index on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) experienced its steepest decline in over two years, plunging more than 4 per cent last week. This sharp downturn left Dalal Street feeling primarily disappointed, but amidst the turmoil, one stock brought a glimmer of hope. That stock is Vaishali Pharma Ltd, which, backed by a series of significant announcements, managed to lift investor sentiment during a challenging week.
Vaishali Pharma Ltd specializes in the production and marketing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), formulations, surgical products, veterinary supplements, herbal products, nutraceuticals, and oncology-related solutions. The company's broad portfolio caters to diverse therapeutic areas, addressing the needs of both human and animal health. In just two years, Vaishali Pharma has made commendable strides in establishing itself as a leading player in Russia’s veterinary product market, strengthening its position within a globally recognized pharmaceutical industry.
In an important development, the Board of Directors of Vaishali Pharma approved a strategic plan to expand its operations and pursue inorganic growth through acquisitions during its meeting held on October 3, 2024. This growth strategy focuses on increasing production capabilities, diversifying product offerings, and acquiring other pharmaceutical companies or technologies. The aim is to improve operational efficiency, foster innovation, and ultimately enhance shareholder value.
As part of these efforts, the company plans to form a dedicated Finance Committee, tasked with identifying potential acquisition opportunities. This committee will work alongside external advisors to identify and target companies that could add innovative products or technologies to Vaishali Pharma's portfolio. The ultimate goal is to boost the company's research capabilities, expand its product line, and further solidify its standing in the pharmaceutical market.
In another positive development, Vaishali Pharma announced key shareholder rewards, including a bonus issue and a stock split, with a record date set for October 15, 2024. The company will issue bonus shares in a 1:1 ratio, meaning shareholders will receive one fully paid-up equity share for every existing share held. Alongside this, Vaishali Pharma has also approved a stock split in the ratio of 1:5. The nominal face value of each equity share will be split from Rs 10 to Rs 2, resulting in five shares of Rs 2 each for every existing share.
The promoters of the company have increased their stake to a record high since the quarter ended March 2022, with their current holding reaching 31.61 per cent as of July 2024.
Vaishali Pharma's track record has been nothing short of impressive. Over the past three years, the company has delivered multibagger returns of 413 per cent and shares have risen by 46 per cent in the last year,
