Emcure Pharma aims to raise Rs 1,952 crore through the initial public offer (IPO). The IPO, which has a price band of Rs 960 to Rs 1,008, consists of a fresh issue of Rs 800 crore, along with offer of sale (OFS) of shares worth Rs 1,152 crore.
The company aims to use the proceeds from the IPO for the repayment and/or prepayment of all/portion of certain outstanding borrowings availed by the company (Rs 600 crore) and other general corporate purposes.
Emcure IPO will remain open between July 3 and July 5, 2024. Investors can bid in the lots of 14 shares and in multiples thereof.
The grey market premium (GNP0 of Emcure Pharmaceuticals stood at Rs 295 as on July 3, 2024. At the upper end of the price band of Rs 1,008, this is a listing gain of around 29 per cent.
Emcure Pharmaceuticals’ revenue grew at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7 per cent over FY22-24, with domestic contributing 48 per cent (10 per cent CAGR) and outgrowing IPM growth.
Exports grew much faster at 20 per cent CAGR, exceeding industry exports (12 per cent CAGR). Emcure Pharma, however, has struggled to boost its profit due to planned expansion using borrowed funds.
Most analysts have given either ‘Subscribe’ or ‘Subscribe for long-term’ rating to the offer given Emcure Pharma’s leading position in the domestic therapeutic area, plans to increase its market share in both India & globally by focusing on its key brands, launching new differentiated products, increased focus on hospitals/pharmacy chains, and persuing organic/inorganic growth.
According to analysts at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, the IPO is reasonably priced at 36.1x FY24 P/E (on diluted basis). The brokerage believes the commencement of new capacities and potential debt reduction post-IPO would aid recovery in profitability. It recommends ‘Subscribe for Long Term’ to the issue.
Those at Geojit Financial Services, too, have given ‘Subscribe for long-term’ rating to Emcure Pharma IPO.
“Emcure Pharma has a strong R&D expertise in differentiated products, established domestic and international presence, strong focus on the women’s healthcare market, and diversified product portfolio. It is expected to improve its profitability post IPO. At the upper price band of Rs 1,008, EPL is available at a P/E of 36x (FY24), which appears to be fully priced,” the brokerage said in its report.
