    Why is Shilpa Medicare spurting? Is there any event which I missed that might explain this?

    True. But why now? Trigger or just fresh buying?

    Shilpa Medicare is a well researched stock. The trigger point is the much anticipated FDA approval to the Raichur facility. Some of this is already in the price. The plants have been inspected by the FDA and the approval should be round the corner. You can see the status of the approvals here.

    Financially, the company is doing well with an (FY15) operating margin of about 24%, net margin of about 14%, ROCE of 21 and RONW of about 17. The debt equity ratio is also low at 0.17. The stock is not cheap at 44x. However, if the FDA approvals do come through, it will give rise to higher growth momentum.

    Yes. It does seem though that FDA Approvals, in general, are coming thru slower than in the past. Even if fresh regulation makes the FDA process more compact that new regime comes into play after current backlog is cleared. Bottom line - one can expect a shift in approval dates vis a vis expected dates.

    If you want good pharma stock at reasonable valuations you can consider JB Chem.

    In the pharma midcap space, we aggressively buy JB Chemicals; it is available at 10 PE on one-year forward earnings basis. The company is sitting on cash pile. The company has around Rs 500 crore cash while debt is as low as Rs 100 crore. These are the two stocks we like in the pharma space.

    What is the expected impact of the JV with ICE/PCA? The existing CRAMS agreement generates 40% of revenues currently

    If everything moves as per expected schedule, The full revenues benefits will come from 2017-18 only

    Shilpa’s Jadcherla formulation facility was inspected by USFDA recently. FDA approvals for this plant by around mid 2016 after which it is expecting to get ANDA approvals one by one.

    Few key risks

    - delayed USFDA approvals
    - resulting idle capacity due to JV's - ICE/PCA and for their ARV maufacturing
    - Balancing formulation segment and API segment as Its vendors would be its competitors going forward
