BLISS GVS manufacturers wide range of Pessary Formulations, Suppository Formulations, Calcium Preparation, Protein Powders, Iron Preparation, Antibiotics, Analgesic & Antipyretics, Respiratory, Anti-inflammatory, Dermatological Preparations, Anti-Diarrhoeal products and Today 'contraceptives'.

Zydus Cadila also does Pessary and Suppository formulations and hence a competitor .

There is an old article from Outlook India which can be found on searching Google Books that provides details. The article indicates their main market is in Africa and anti malarial drugs constitute highest percentage.

Debt is negligible at 0.04 DE ratio and is a dividend paying co. OPM range aroung ~30%.
In 2007 Bliss Pharma acquired GVS pharma and an open offer had been placed.

There is a mention of this in Moneylife article that TCSer posted for cos. cheating shareholders. But the tax numbers were less only for 2008 which can happen - for 2007 and 2009 numbers are much higher. And drug formulations are high unlike mentioned in this article - it needs to be compared with players like Plethico Pharma/ Venus Remedies and not with Dr Reddy’s, Ranbaxy and Cipla as the article mentions.


IDFC picked a stake in this in April. Haven't seen many recommendations or information on this.
The website seems new and their 2009 AR does not have much information or guidance.

Does anyone have more insights, the numbers look good?

There have questions in individual posts in other sections but no discussion around this.

This is on my watch list. But at the bottom. I was interested in their contraceptive products, but they contribute very small amount in overall sales. Their main products are off the counter drugs.
Here are my assumptions regarding pharma companies.
To become successful the company has to have either of following:
1. Contract manufacturers (who manufacture drugs   for other large pharma companies)
2. Companies who acquire cheap / older drug licences from MNC to produce/distribute drugs in developing nations.
3. Companies of a size having state of art R & D facilities, who at least are trying to discover new drug. But that requires loads of money, hence size is important.

I'm still to figure where Bliss GVS fits?

I think someone from the medical field can throw better light. Any docs here? Nurses?

Women contraceptives is a high growth space
A tax of only 2.77 crore on income of 40.23 crore does look fishy
But why will then IDFC buy a 3% stake in the company ?

I think the most important product for the company in its OTC basket is today contraceptive.

Among the prescription drugs, the company has a range of products but there does not seem to be any established brand. so the company will have to work on branding in prescription segment.

What is impressive is high return ratios for a growing pharma company.
Stockmarket is a weird place. For every person who buys a stock there is a person who sells it and both think they are very smart.

The annual report says nothing about the industry or its potential.
 
The numbers havepicked up only since 2008. It would require more knowledge/data points to assess potential.
