Sharekhan's research report on Divi’s Laboratories
Divi’s Laboratories (Divis) at Vishakhapatnam (which is under import alert 66-40) was re-inspected by the USFDA between 11-19 th September 2017. As per the management clarification, all previous observations have been completely resolved. However, on completion of inspection, Divis received a Form 483 citing six observations (procedural in nature), which the company shall respond to, in the stipulated time period.
Outlook
Taking a cue from the recent development, we feel the focus shall be on FY2019 and FY2020 earnings which shall be driven by capacity expansion and pending approvals. We roll-over our target multiple to Sep 2019 earnings and arrive at a price target of Rs 1040. Given the limited upside (due to sharp run-up in past two weeks) we maintain our Hold recommendation on the stock. Lifting of import alert will be the key trigger to watch out for and will lead to further re-rating; stock is still trading at a discount to its historical multiple.
