Repligen Gives Investors A Pure Play On Bioproduction

Seven of the top 10 best-selling drugs in the world are antibodies, biosimilars are starting to disrupt the pharmaceutical industry, and Big Pharma is investing billions in gene therapy. On top of that, roughly half of the drugs in biopharma pipelines today are biologics (antibodies, cell therapies, gene therapies, etc.). All of that means an exceptionally attractive market opportunity for companies like Repligen (RGEN) that sell what amounts to the picks and shovels of the biologics industry.

I believe Repligen’s strong position in purification and filtration, as well as emerging opportunities in areas like analytics, give the company a good shot at a prolonged streak of 20%-plus revenue growth and 20%+ FCF margins. While the shares do trade at around 15 times forward revenue, I’m not sure they’re as expensive as that snapshot approach to valuation may suggest, particularly with the company gaining share in a large market set to grow at a high-single digit rate for many years to come.
