Recommendation:
Glenmark Life Sciences (GLS), the API spin-off from Glenmark Pharma has announced its IPO. The company intends to use the proceeds from the IPO for capital expenditure requirements, which includes the expansion of capacity at Dahej (Gujarat) manufacturing site to meet the anticipated future demand of its generic API products, which will be beneficial in generating further revenue for the company. Glenmark Life Sciences has a good performance execution and a clean regulatory track record. The company is also a leading developer & manufacturer of select high-value, non-commoditised APIs in chronic therapies. The growth momentum also has a strong undercurrent of global API industry growth. Although product concentration remains a key risk where top 10 products contribute more than 66 per cent, the company aims to reduce the dependence with planned Capex in FY22, going further. It has strong R&D capabilities and is backed by strong promoter backing. This additional production capacity is expected to help the company in expanding generic API production and also, the oncology products pipeline. Looking at the above positives, we believe that the company will keep growing its business, and hence, you can invest for the long-term.
