SBML has four manufacturing facilities,three at Taloja in Maharashtra (two for manufacture of API and intermediates and one for Toxicology studies) and one at Dehradun in Uttaranchal for manufacturing of formulation products. During JY10, the Dehradun plant received UKMHRA certification. In addition, it has three R&D centers located at its manufacturing facilities. SBML has set up a R&D unit named sa- FORD (sanctuary for Research and Development Laboratories), which is a state-of-the-art animal testing and breeding facility atTaloja.SBML is committed to leverage the lucrative opportunities coming up by forward integrating into contract formulation research and manufacturing, entering high-margin, highly-sensitive oncology therapeutic segment, invested in new state-of-the-art API facilities targeting the regulated markets, expanding product pipelines by addressing the growing anti-depressant and antiretrovials therapeutic segments, filing DMFs for its key products, strengthening R&D capabilities, vigorously improving productivity in pursuit of operational excellence in all its activities and rank amongst the most efficient and effective companies in this sector.

Sequent Scientific Ltd:-Buy/sell/growth prospects and recommendation,news and results,target price and analysis,view and outlook,multibagger

Scripscan:Sequent Scientific Ltd
cmp:54
Code:512529

Story:They are making APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) which we loosely call as bulk drugs for human and veterinary sections. In fact, they are supplying anti-Malaria API largely to Cipla .They have five manufacturing plants and two R&D centers, one at Mangalore and another at Bangalore, and those R&D centers are really doing very well.With a strong executive team and 600 people workforce, the company is impressive in terms of presentations or with project structuring.About 55 APIs are under development stage. This cannot just be treated as a general bulk drug maker or general API company because any breakthrough in any of them, out of 55 APIs even if they are able to succeed in four-five APIs also, that can give them very good profits.In FY11, the company had a topline of close to Rs 300 crore and EPS of close to Rs 7. The company declared 15% dividend, but since all the operations are integrated into one company R&D as well as the production operations, they had bad working in first half where they posted a loss of about Rs 10 crore in the six months ended September 2011. However, topline has very well been maintained at about Rs 160 crore. So, going forward, I am quite optimistic on the stock. At one time may be six months back the stock used to rule at about Rs 100-110 but because of the subdued working in these two quarters the share has corrected now to about Rs 53-54.I don’t think from hereon the share seems to have much downside. The present market cap of about Rs 120 crore and even if I add the entire debt including the working capital, gives an enterprise value of about Rs 300 crore for the company. With a shareholding pattern of 72% held by the promoter, 22% held by about 15-20 HNIs, the public float is very low.So, I find this company quite interesting and if somebody can really remain invested with a view of about two-three years, this can really be a very blockbuster kind of investment in someone’s portfolio. But one has to be very patient. One cannot take a monthly or a quarterly call on the stock. Downside seems to be limited may be 10-15% but on a two-year horizon share can give a return of 100-150% also.

Code:506197

Story:This is an interesting company. They are into pharma and FMCG, making anti-malaria, respiratory, anti-inflammatory and even dermatology products and some personal care products.First let me take the financial performance of the company for H1FY12, they posted a PAT of about Rs 32 crore on a top line of about Rs 132 crore. This results into a PAT margin of 27% which is very rare. In fact, these kind of PAT margin is not enjoyed by the larger pharma and FMCG companies too.Also, they have posted a 23% growth on the top line on a comparable period of FY11 and posted a growth of 24% in the bottom line. That has resulted into an EPS of about Rs 3.50 for the first six months of the year on a low equity of about Rs 10.50 crore.The share has a face value of Re 1. The book value of the share will be at about Rs 24 by 31 March 2012. That means it is available practically exactly at a book value of Re 1.If you see the manufacturing pipeline of the company, they have a very strong brand portfolio, reputed products enjoyed by the name of the company, and the plant is located at Palghar in Maharashtra.The shareholding pattern is also quite interesting - 65% held by the promoter, 13% by HNIs and about 20-22% is with the public. So the share is available at a PE multiple of three times. It’s a totally debt free company. Additionally, the kind of profitability on an annualized basis is of about Rs 70 crore which makes it a very interesting bet.If somebody can keep it in the portfolio for about two years, I think it is capable of giving a return of about 150-200%. Even on a shorter horizon, maybe in six months or so, the share is capable to give 30% returns.

And this time around it's the pharma sector under the scanner.Sterling Biotech, according to strong market rumuors,was raided by the sleuths of the I-T department earlier this morning. Sources say, the raids were based on alleged tax evasion.As of now, there has not been any cash disclosures or cash seizures from the company. The raid operations are still going on with statements of company officials being recorded.Sterling Biotech has not given out any official response so far.Best to stay out from the stock for the moment.Can hit levels of 30 odd in days to come as investors may panic.
