Conclusion:

The Global Pharmaceutical market is expected to grow steadily at 5% CAGR and the global formulation CDMO market to grow at 7% CAGR from 2022-2027.

Emerging economies in Latin America and Asia-Pacific regions such as Brazil, China, and India, are also witnessing rapid growth in the pharmaceutical market due to which there is a gradual shift of manufacturing and research activities from developed markets to these fast-growing markets.

Its listed peers at similar levels of revenue from operations namely Torrent Pharma, Laurus Labs, and Ajanta Pharma are trading at 53.9x, 59.8x, and 36x, and Innova is expected to trade at ~31.6x and Industry PE of 30.1. Further, RoNW stood at 20.11%, 19.74%,17.36%, and Innova was at 24.58% as of FY2023.

Considering the company's financial performance, valuations, and future outlook, the valuations seem to be fairly priced. However, it would be wise to wait for 2-3 quarters before drawing any conclusions.
