Investment Memo

Auto-generated from the data layer — illustrative, not advice

Bull case
  • Vaccines + select brand price/mix underpins a -4% 5Y revenue CAGR.
  • Premium 33% EBITDA margin with 24.2% ROCE signals durable economics.
  • Clean balance sheet (D/E 0.00) funds growth internally.
Bear case
  • Slow growth & portfolio renewal.
  • Pricing/NLEM exposure on the domestic book can cap realisation.
  • Re-rating depends on proving R&D/return discipline.
Base case

Pfizer (India) screens as a high-quality domestic formulations franchise. With revenue of ₹2.3K Cr growing ~-4% and 33% EBITDA margins, the base case is steady compounding driven by vaccines + select brand price/mix, while watching slow growth & portfolio renewal.

Valuation view

Trades at 27x P/E, 28.0x EV/EBITDA and 4.9x P/B. Reasonable versus growth — re-rating optionality if execution improves.

What to track
  • 1 India IPM outperformance & chronic mix
  • 2 Gross-margin trajectory & new-launch contribution
  • 3 R&D productivity (filings/approvals per ₹ of R&D)
  • 4 Capital allocation — capex payback & M&A discipline
