About the Company and Valuation
Founded in 2006, Anthem Biosciences is a leading Contract Research, Development, and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO) that supports the entire drug development process. It operates in both small molecules and biologics, making it one of India’s few integrated CRDMOs.
Analysts at top brokerages like Anand Rathi and Canara Bank Securities recommended subscribing to the IPO, citing the company’s strong market presence, high margins, global clientele, and consistent profitability.
Although the IPO is valued at 71x P/E based on FY25 earnings, which seems slightly expensive compared to Syngene (51x) and Divi’s Labs (83x), analysts believe the premium is justified given the company's technical capabilities and scalability.
