Sharekhan says that Divis Laboratories is expected to benefit from strong growth likely in the global active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) space, driven by multiple factors. Increasing preference for biologics for disease management, key drugs going off patent, outsourcing opportunities and higher regulatory approvals would be key growth drivers for the API industry, which is expected to report a high single-digit CAGR over the next 6-7 years. In addition to this, there are immense opportunities that have emerged for API players such as Divis Laboratories, as pharma giants across the world look to tide over the pandemic. Supply reliability and quality are factors that have taken precedence over pricing, which pharma companies’ world over are looking for.

Sharekhan says that Divis Laboratories is planning to invest Rs 600 cr towards the Kakinada plant over the next 2-3 years, but the work is expected to commence post resolution of the issues with locals. Of the Rs 400 cr capex announced for the custom synthesis business, Divis Laboratories has commenced production at one stream and is on track to achieve completion for others. The fact that the company has lined up substantial investments towards capacity expansion points towards strong growth visibility.
