Gland Pharma shares slip 5% on disappointing revenue growth in Q3

Shares of Gland Pharma slipped 5 per cent to Rs 1,437.70 on the BSE in Tuesday’s intra-day trade after the company’s revenues de-grew 10 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 1,384 crore in the December quarter (Q3FY25). The company’s topline was impacted by the low base business arising due to a dip in volumes in the US as well as some shipment delays to Saudi Arabia. 

In comparison, the BSE Sensex was up 0.3 per cent at 77,417, at 10:40 AM. The stock price of Gland Pharma had hit a 52-week low of Rs 1,413.75 on January 28, 2025. It has corrected 35 per cent from its 52-week high level of Rs 2,220.95 touched on August 6, 2024.

The company’ reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda), on the other hand, grew 1 per cent YoY to Rs 360 crore, and margins stood at 26 per cent (300 bps growth) driven by a strong 535 bps improvement in gross profit margin. Profit after tax grew 7 per cent YoY to Rs 204.7 crore. 

In the base business, the US de-grew 12 per cent YoY to Rs 713.5 crore due to a postponement of supplies of blood thinner, Enoxaparin to the next quarter. Rest of world (RoW) reported 6 per cent YoY growth to Rs 167 crore, while the domestic business de-grew 26 per cent YoY to Rs 56 crore. The Cenexi business remained impacted due to machinery breakdown in a Belgium plant and to address observations emanating from an unannounced inspection by the French regulator.

On a negative note, the company’s management now expects the Cenexi turnaround to happen in Q3FY26F (vs. Q4FY25F earlier), given the Lyophilizer breakdown at the Belgium plant and the observations received for the Fontenay, Belgium, plant from the French health authorities at the recent inspection.

ICICI Securities said Gland’s base business revenues were negatively impacted by the postponement of Enoxaparin revenues to the next quarter but this had positive implications on the margins as Enoxaparin fetches lower margins. The Cenexi business was also impacted by unforeseen events, however the postponement of positive margins (Ebitda) to Q3FY26 is a matter of slight concern. 

That said, the brokerage firm expects normalcy to return in a quarter or two. The future holds good for Gland with the expected approvals for complex products , GLP 1 contract signing and an agreement with a Chinese biotech player for biosimilars besides incremental Cenexi revenues from the new high-speed line from Fontenay plant. The new CEO has been assigned to take charge of RoW and India businesses, ICICI Securities said in a note. 

Analysts at InCred Equities said they are disappointed with the repeated delay in Cenexi’s turnaround and will reassess the situation constructively once the facility is back on track. It has been nearly seven quarters since Cenexi’s acquisition, and it will take another three-to-four quarters for the business to normalise, they said. 

While Gland’s core business continues to outperform, Cenexi’s ongoing challenges will remain a drag in the near-term. As a result, the brokerage firm has reduced its FY25F/26F EPS estimates by 14 per cent/24 per cent, respectively, and lowered the target price to Rs 1,313, from Rs 1,768 earlier. A faster-than-expected ramp-up at Cenexi remains a key upside risk, the brokerage firm said in the company’s results update.

Nifty seen clearing first roadblock; next stop at 23,800? Key levels here

The NSE Nifty 50 index has surged over 1 per cent in intra-day deals on Tuesday, and is now seen quoting above its super trend line on the daily scale for the first time since December 19, 2024. A close above 23,604, shall qualify as a positive breakout for the Nifty on the daily scale.

At the high point of the day so far, at 23,659, the Nifty gained 3.8 per cent from its recent low of 22,787. That apart, the Nifty 50 is seen quoting above its 20-DMA (Daily Moving Average) for the fourth straight trading session.

Technically, the Nifty is now seen clearing its first key hurdle as the index attempts a pullback from its record high of 26,277. The Nifty 50 had shed 13.3 per cent or almost 3,500 points from the peak in the last four months.

Amid the attempted recovery, the Nifty can potentially attempt a rebound towards 24,250 levels. The next key hurdle for the Nifty is placed around 23,780 levels, above which resistance can be expected around 24,020 and 24,150 levels.

The near-term bias for the Nifty is likely to remain upbeat as long as the index holds above 23,500 levels; below which the key support for the index stands at the 20-DMA (Daily Moving Average) at 23,250.

The BSE Sensex, meanwhile, is seen quoting around 78,150 levels. The BSE benchmark has gained nearly 2,900 points from its recent low at 75,267.

The quarterly Fibonacci chart suggests that sustained trade above 78,150, shall pave the way for a likely rally towards 80,000-mark, above which a test of 81,150 seems likely. Interim resistance for the Sensex can be expected around 78,635 and 79,335 levels.  In case of a dip, the BSE Sensex may seek support around 77,500 levels.

Why One 97 Communications, parent of Paytm, shares gain 5% in weak market?

One 97 Communications, parent company of Paytm, shares gained 5.2 per cent on Monday, logging an intraday high at Rs 782.8 per share on BSE. The northward rally in the stock came after the company arm Paytm Cloud Technologies’ board approved an investment of $1 million (Rs 8.7 crore) in Seven Technology LLC. 

Around 12:06 PM, Paytm share price was up 4.41 per cent at Rs 776.4 per share on BSE. In comparison, the BSE Sensex was down 0.67 per cent at 76,988.21. The market capitalisation of the company stood at Rs 49,497.9 crore. The 52-week high of the stock was at Rs 1,063 per share and the 52-week low was at Rs 310 per share. 

Paytm Cloud Technologies will acquire a 25 per cent stake in  Seven Technology LLC with the $1 million investment.  

“We have been informed by Paytm Cloud Technologies Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary, that the Board of Directors of PCTL at its meeting held on February 3, 2025 and concluded at 08:15 a.m. (IST) has approved an investment of $1 million (equivalent to Rs 8.70 crore) in Seven Technology LLC incorporated in Delaware for the acquisition of a 25 per cent stake and execution of transaction documents in this regard,” the filing read. 

Seven Technology LLC is the parent company of Dinie Correspondente Bancário e Meios de Pagamento Ltda. (“Dinie”), Brazil-based API-first embedded finance start-up. Dinie enables digital/ e-commerce platforms to provide digital financial services solutions to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Brazil. Post-consummation of the transaction, Seven Technology LLC and Dinie will become associate entities of the company. 

The company believes technology-led merchant payments and financial services distribution business model in India, has the potential for expansion in similar international markets. 

This latest investment in an overseas market comes weeks after Paytm sold its stake in a Japanese company for $250 million.

One97 Communications Singapore approved the sale of Stock Acquisition Rights (SARs) held in Japan-based PayPay Corporation last year. Paytm’s Singapore unit acquired these SARs in September 2020.
