Buy Alkem Labs for 22% gains, advises HDFC Securities

Alkem’s  3QFY19  performance  was  in  line with our expectations. A softer acute  season led to a 1% fall in the domestic business, while the 44% jump in the US helped in maintaining 10% plus YoY top line growth. Poor business mix  (lower  India  sales) and increased raw material cost led to a ~680bps drop  in  gross  margin.  As  a result, EBITDA margin shrunk 450bps YoY and EBITDA  declined  13% to Rs 3.1bn. Reported PAT at Rs  2.1bn was up 14% YoY owing to higher taxes in 3QFY18. Despite  reporting  dismal  performance in FY19, experts remain optimistic about Alkem as they believe the effect of raw material price hike will alleviate in FY20.
