PPL is going through lot of challenges right now. Keep your expectations low & make your investment decisions based on entry valuations,ability to suffer& wait.

1.Inflationary raw material & energy prices.This will continue as per managmnt

2.Slower decision making by customers 3. Overall fixed cost is higher in overseas facilities. They'd acquired some overseas facilities for CDMO & revenues were not up to the mark than they had expected.

As the revenue increases,margins also increase.

No plan to increase the share of manufacturing from India.

#Biocon_biologics

An effort to understand the biosimilar business.

Not a sell/buy recommendation.

Do your due diligence. Earlier, Biocon hasn't had direct commercialization & supply chain in Developed Markets. They had partnered with Viatris (Mylan) for that.

#Neuland_labs
A thread to understand a few anti thesis points of Neuland labs.

Disc- This is not a buy/sell recommendation. Do your own due diligence.

I'll share my opinion backed by data.
You don't have to buy my opinion. Do some hard work by analysing past concalls. It all started with the curiosity to understand very weak margins of a player with CDMO exposure who manufactures innovator molecule like Deutetrabenazine.
