Giving ‘buy’ tag to Mankind Pharma IPO for long term investors, Anubhuti Mishra, Equity Research Analyst at Swastika Investmart said, “The company has strategies to increase its presence in the chronic therapeutic area and grow the consumer healthcare business. However, the pharmaceutical industry is fiercely competitive, and secondly, regulatory risk and stricter norms pose a potential challenge. Coming to the IPO valuation, the issue’s P/E ratio of 30x appears fully priced, and given the pure offer for sale nature of the issue, only high-risk investors are advised to consider a long-term investment in this.”
