Sequent Scientific – Indian story in Global Animal Pharma Space (22-08-2024)
June 2024 Q 1 Concall
Interesting Points
Got EU GMP for turkey and hence they can supply material to Europe
Turkey market share has improved and currency has stabilised a bit
Currently Import / Export ratio for turkey is 2 – Mgmt wants to bring it down to 1
Cost efficiency and product mix has brought better results
Still overall percentage of revenue from Companion animal side remains pretty low – Mgmt wants that to rise
New revenue stream of vaccine distribution might open up for the Company as they are present at the front end
Looking for some inorganic growth as well but need to keep in mind the debt levels and working capital days have also gone up but as per mgmt it will stay like that for sometime due to disruptions caused by war and supply side issues

The oil and gas sector and Reliance Industries will collectively account for over 60% of the rated Indian portfolio’s spending over the next couple of years.
Moody’s said the seven rated oil and gas companies in India will also account for around 30% of rated Indian companies’ capex.

Research on Ind Swift Laboratories Ltd (22-08-2024)
Dear @robin1 , As per the disclosure dated 6 Aug 2024 made by Auditor Avishkar Singhal and Associates (who did audit of FY 23-24 and limited review for the quarter ended Jun 2024) have confirmed that the reason for resignation is “personal reasons and pre occupation in other professional assignments”. Further, they have clarified by Auditor in the statement that “our firm neither have any sort of dispute nor have any concern relating to suppression of information by the management of the Company for the purpose of carrying out audit procedures.” I hope this clarifies your concern. If you still have any other observation then please feel free to share with us. Thank you.

Zomato – Should you order? (22-08-2024)
Maybe he is wrong about the Rs 200 cr figure, but can one be comfortable with the valuations at which the deal has been done? Wanted to understand the viewpoint of fellow boarders.
(Interestingly, similar concerns about the valuation at which Blinkit was acquired were raised, however, Zomato management’s decision proved to be right.)
Disclosure: Invested at very low levels and planning to hold

PayTM (One 97 Communications Ltd) (22-08-2024)
Paytm has done a good sale here imo. Selling a business which was only adding 29 crores to EBITDA every year for 2048 crores is not bad.
