The percentage breakdown of Quarterly Statement is given below.
Total Assets per Share of Zydus Wellness is coming out to be Rs. 31.20. Earning per Share for the past four quarters is coming out to be Rs. 14.87. Current Market Price of this stock is coming out to be Rs. 607. P/E of Zydus Wellness is coming out to be 40.82.
Equity Section feels that the improvement in Operating Profit Margins is because of the reduction in Advertisement Expenses. Equity Section feels that Inflation has been able to impact this company a lot. Equity Section admits that the management of Zydus Wellness is really clever by lowering Advertisement Expenses and maintaining exceptional Operating Profit Margin levels. The advertisements done in previous periods will help them in these hard times. Zydus Wellness' Cash Conversion Cycle of -177 days really make it an attractive investment proposition. But at the same time, the high P/E factor can't be ignored. So, in view of all the above stated points, Equity Section issues a recommendation of HOLD on Zydus Wellness.
Disclaimer : Equity Section holds Zydus Wellness.
