There is new found and newly listed ANU'S LAB seems a great multibagger stock to be in.I do request Mr.Devesh to look into it and make studies behind this hidden future gem of next Divi's Lab in making.

Anu's Lab is engaged in the manufacturing of basic, advanced intermediates and fine chemicals and supplying them to various drug manufacturers.

K Haribabu, MD of Anu's Laboratories said, the company was focused more on the manufacturing side in the CRAM space. He said going forward the company hoped to maintain margins, which he said were healthy right now.

He said the company was looking at growth opportunities available to the industry in the supply of intermediates, as well as by way of contract manufacturing operations. He added that the company was planning to invest in a Greenfield project in the Pharma City being developed by Ramky at Visakhapatnam where we will be able to take up this contract manufacturing activities and conversion of our own intermediates into APIs.

Excerpts from CNBC-TV18’s exclusive interview with Hari Babu:
 
Q: First you can just outline the various businesses you are into and the purpose behind raising these funds?
 
A: We are manufacturers of basic and advanced intermediates of APIs. We have a range of products, about half of that we manufacture on regular basis and other on campaign basis. We command a dominant position in each of the products that we manufacture on regular basis, we command a. We are also engaged in manufacturing some intermediates for some of our customers on an exclusive basis. We also develop some new chemical entities for some of our customers.

Looking forward at the growth opportunities that are available to the industry, in the supply of intermediates as well as by way of contract manufacturing operations.

Q: Your CRAMs pilot plant has been priced at about Rs 8.34 crore. What is your arrangement with Teva and what kind of business are you expecting from CRAMs?
 
A: It’s not just Teva. For Teva, we are doing a couple of compounds right now. We are looking at the opportunities basically and not at specific contracts at this point. It is because we can speak to the customers more specifically when the facilities are ready and when we are in a position to have them certified by the regulatory agencies.
 
Q: In the CRAM space, will you focus more on the research side going forward or are you focusing on manufacturing?
 
A: We will be focusing more on manufacturing, which is our forte.
 
Q: So you expect no significant uptick in your margins?
 
A: We hope to maintain. We have healthy margins right now.

Well, Anu's has just been listed. Investors should look at established players like Venus Remedies which has been growing at 50 per cent CAGR for the past several years. What is more Venus is available at a little more than 7 times TTM earnings.

No discussion for Anu's Lab the newly listed.It seems no one is interested in Anu's discussion, may be people watching whether it would be or not.In fact investors discusses only if MRP crosses 500+ in pharma sector.But, I am of the opinion that this stock is in line of Divi's and it may grow bigger.
