Net sales rose to Rs 710 crore in the same quarter from Rs 385 crore in the year-ago period. EBITDA margin expanded by 317 bps YoY to 19.2 per cent in 9M FY22 driven by economies of scale and effective cost management, which is marginally impacted by higher freight costs, the company said.

Brokerage house Anand Rathi is positive about ShardaтАЩs future performance, considering its focus on registration, a rising share of high margin products and deeper penetration in markets. Further, internally-funded capex and FCF would strengthen its balance sheet. We expect its revenue/profit to clock 14/15 per cent CAGRs over FY22-24, it said.

“Considering the persistent strong growth momentum (a 15% PAT CAGR over FY22-24, the sturdy business model, a healthy pipeline of formulations and active-ingredient registrations, a better revenue mix across regions and consistent RoEs and RoCEs, we are upbeat about the companyтАЩs mid-to long-term prospects,” it added.
┬а
Further, the brokerage house noted that the assurance has risen about sustainable revenue steam, driven by a strong pipeline of registrations across regions, and its announcement of registrations of formulations and active ingredients.
┬а
At present, the stock trades at 11.3x FY23e and 9.4x FY24e earnings. Anand Rathi expects high growth momentum, a strong balance sheet, free cash-flows and strong return ratios over FY22-24.
