Winston Score History

The full picture

AstraZeneca Pharma India Limited is the Indian subsidiary of AstraZeneca PLC, a global British-Swedish pharmaceutical company. It sells prescription medicines in India across key therapy areas including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory conditions, and oncology. Its customers are hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies that serve patients across India.

The company earns revenue by selling branded prescription drugs to healthcare providers and distributors in the Indian market. It benefits from its parent company's strong pipeline of patented medicines and established relationships with doctors and hospitals, giving it a competitive edge over purely generic rivals. India's growing middle class, rising rates of chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer, and expanding health insurance coverage are key growth drivers. However, the business faces risks from pricing pressure by Indian regulators, currency fluctuations, and dependence on its parent for new drug launches and intellectual property.

Growth + cash flow

AstraZeneca Pharma India Limited is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 21%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
