Should you Subscribe to the issue?
Anand Rathi has assigned a Subscribe for long term rating to the IPO, noting that the company is strategically placed for durable outperformance. The brokerage highlighted that the business is “well positioned to sustain above-industry growth, supported by a strong brand portfolio, leadership in key therapies, and consistent strategic execution.” It added that with a 16.77 percent CAGR – the second fastest among the top 30 pharma players – the company continues to outperform the Indian Pharmaceutical Market, aided by strong traction in chronic and sub-chronic therapies and the steady scale-up of recent launches.
On the valuation front, Anand Rathi observed that based on annualised FY26 earnings, the company’s asking P/E of 35.3 times and post-issue market capitalisation of around ₹64,952 million makes the issue appear fully priced. However, the brokerage believes the company is entering its next phase of growth with high-visibility revenue drivers, differentiated capabilities, and a robust pipeline, which together support sustained market share gains and long-term value creation. Hence, it assigned a Subscribe for long term only rating to the issue.
