Research in CDMO/APIs is never a slam dunk. It may take ages to yield results. CEP filings can be lumpy as a result. As I wrote last year (link below), Hikal has been consistently sacrificing operating profits for a sustainable future. Best is ahead 🎥 🍿

#Hikal has stepped up R&D in recent years. Next few years (capex & launches) should yield superior earnings. Wish them all the luck \U0001f44d

D: invested and biased view for sure, but it was below 1x price to sales vs 12x price to sales for many chemicals and generic players. No reco!! pic.twitter.com/aqPUKbziHK

Avoid low quality assets in a sector where price discovery has been relentless over many years. Stay with tier 1 players. Margin of safety is in business first and not the entry price. This is not valid for short term positional trades. Those are managed via strict stop losses.
Speciality vs Commodity Chemicals

Speciality - typically bespoke solutions as per customer's requirements. High complexity. This makes continous R&D and product innovation a key success factor!
