Experts' verdict

Speaking on Ami Organics vs Vijaya Diagnostic IPOs; Abhay Doshi, Founder at UnlistedArena.com said, "Amongst the two issues, Ami Organics looks clear winner. Vijaya Diagnostic, although, looking fundamentally strong may witness dull response due to valuations being on higher side."

Highlighting upon the fundamentals of Ami Organics; Arijit Malakar, Head of Research at Ashika Stock Broking said, "Ami Organics is a R&D driven pharma intermediates & specialty chemicals manufacturers with Pharma intermediates account nearly 88 per cent of revenue while specialty chemical account 5 per cent. Company has 400 plus products in its portfolio across 17 key therapeutic areas. It has diversified portfolio and is not dependent on single product or any single customers. Its customers include both domestic and international companies with export accounts more than 50 per cent of revenue. With revenue base of Rs300 crore it is small compared to other large listed pharma API players. Further, the company is valued P/E multiple of 41x post issue equity shares against industry average of 45x, which is fairly valued. Thus, leaves little room for any meaningful upside from IPO price. However, pharma API sector has good traction and one can look this company at better entry point post listing."

Asked about his views on Vijaya Diagnostic IPO, Arijit Malakar of Ashika Stock Broking said, "Vijaya Diagnostic is one of the largest integrated diagnostic players in Southern India, backed by private equity player Kedaara Capital. Company's operating and financial metrics are way ahead of other leading diagnostic players. Company commanded industry leading EBITDA Margin because of its operating leverage. Company's revenue realization per patient is around Rs1200 which is nearly 40 per cent higher from other players. At upper price band, company is valued at P/E multiple of 64x which is reasonable given the growth it has delivered in last 3 years, strong return ratios and debt free balance sheet."
