Pharma 101: A Beginner's Guide to Essential Pharma Terms

Previously, we explored a list of pharmaceutical companies based on valuation and growth (x.com/suru27/status/…). But first, let’s simplify and explain some key pharmaceutical terms in an easy-to-understand and detailed manner. By the end of this thread, you'll have a clear understanding of the basics of the pharmaceutical world!🧵👇

1/13

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)
What it is: The "hero" ingredient in a drug responsible for its therapeutic effect.
Example: Paracetamol in a pain-relief tablet is the API.
Why it matters: APIs determine what the drug is used for, like pain relief, infection control, or lowering blood pressure.
Fun fact: APIs are made through chemical synthesis or fermentation.Image 2/13

Excipients
What they are: The "sidekicks" that help the API do its job. They are inactive ingredients.
Examples:
Binders: Hold tablets together (e.g., starch).
Preservatives: Prevent spoilage (e.g., benzyl alcohol).
Sweeteners: Improve taste (e.g., sucrose).
Role: They ensure stability, ease of use, and proper delivery of the API.Image

#IEX Fundamentals, Technical and the other data, a🧵:

IEX has been coming up with great results but market is anticipating coupling fear and hence stock is falling. This is the common perception.
Is this the case, let us deep dive? Image Was curious to check which institutions are selling because if I blindly look at charts - then all we see is stoploss. Something very interesting came out. First thing, looking at screener, looks like FIIs and DIIs are buying and retail is selling. Also, evident in falling count of retail investors. So, who is moving the prices down?Image

#HDFC A thread on history

Current price performance:
Last 5 year numbers say it all - a mere 5.5% annualized returns failing to beat FD.

Ask guys 5 years back, how was HDFC treated in market thenImage Given stock has not given good returns, it is important to understand if stock performed badly earnings wise in last 5 years. Nothing changed in last 5, 3, 1 year. Image
