Ajanta Pharma - Q1 FY22 Result Report - YES Securities

(Rating: BUY, TP: Rs2,620, Upside: 10%)

- We see a firm margin trajectory over next three years driven by 1) India rebound in FY22 and revival in US from FY23 2) MR rationalization to improve productivity and be beneficial for domestic margin.

- Domestic business to benefit from over 20 launches last year which have not been fully monetized and promoted; hence we stick to our 14% India growth in current fiscal.

- US sales could be impacted near term due to curtailed launches as filings were impacted last year. Albeit, US seen back on track with 17-18% growth next fiscal.

- Company affirmed margin at ~30% and indeed, we reckon, can inch up to 31-32% especially if volumes ramp after Guwahati capex.

- We build in FY24 estimates and roll over an unchanged target 26x PE to arrive at a revised TP Rs2,620. A smaller base and share of US revenues would preempt some of the margin volatility seen at peers. BUY stays.
