Selvita offers a two-pronged strategy with steady double digit growth from its drug discovery business coupled with potential upside from drug development within its broad R&D pipeline. Recently the company introduced a new strategy for 2017-2021 focused on continuing growth in the Services business and ramping up investment in the internal R&D pipeline. While this has been overshadowed somewhat by the clinical hold on the lead asset SEL24, our investment thesis for Selvita is based on supportive long-term company-specific and macro trends and we increase our valuation from PLN577m to PLN1.04bn or PLN75/share.
