Outlook:

The company’s financial performance is very strong except a small setback due to a one-off transaction in 9MFY23. The company’s listed peers according to the RHP are Sun Pharma, Cipla, Zydus Life sciences, Torrent Pharma, Alkem labs, JB chemicals, etc. However, not all the above companies will be an Apple-to-Apple comparison. At higher price band, the listing market cap will be around ~Rs.43264 crs and Mankind Pharma is demanding a P/E multiple of 30x based on FY22EPS. While comparing with the industry average P/E of 40x, the company seems to be fully priced. Based on the above views, we provide a ‘Neutral’ rating for this IPO.
