Analysis of Piramal Healthcare Ltd

Piramal Healthcare, in their Analyst presentation came out with their future strategy of utilizing their cash. As mentioned in my earlier post, they are sitting on almost Rs 10,000 crore cash/cash equivalent. With the sale of the Domestic Formulations business, there was some anxiety as to which business would Mr Piramal decide to invest the money in.

The major focus of the investments lies in four areas as follows:

1) Pharma Solutions
Investment: Rs 2,700 Crore
Current Sales: Rs 1020 Crore
Sales Target: Rs 5,000 Crore by 2016 (CAGR of 37%)

They aim to be among the top-3 contract manufacturing organizations globally.
