Five-Star Business Finance demonstrates strong growth potential with forecasted revenue and earnings growth exceeding 20% annually, outpacing the Indian market. Insider ownership remains significant, as evidenced by recent private placements involving key executives. However, its debt coverage is a concern due to insufficient operating cash flow.

Earnings Growth Forecast: 34.9% p.a.

Indoco Remedies is positioned for significant earnings growth, projected at 34.9% annually, outpacing the Indian market. Despite revenue growth forecasts of 10.4% per year being modest, recent USFDA approval for Cetirizine and Lofexidine tablets could enhance market presence. However, profit margins have declined from last year and interest payments are not well covered by earnings. Insider ownership remains supportive amidst regulatory challenges and a decreased dividend of INR 1.50 per share approved recently.
