Conclusion:

The life sciences industry comprises 2 main segments – Biopharmaceuticals and Medical Devices.
The combined sales of these segments were estimated to be US $1.8 trillion in 2023 and are expected to reach US $2.1 trillion by 2026, recording a growth of 5.5% CAGR.

There are no listed peers to compare its financial or operational performance we need to analyze the company with its given information. The company has shown decent growth in sales, EBITDA & EBITDA Margins. But the PAT Margins have formed a plateau.  As, the management is willing to clear the debt taken in the previous year for an acquisition, which would result in savings in finance costs and improve the PAT margins and other key ratios. And currently it will be available at 38x earnings valuations.

Considering the company’s growth potential, valuations, and being a single player to offer such niche services we would suggest our investor to subscribe to this IPO for the long term.
