- Elevator pitch:

Bachem is a 5 bn CHF market cap Swiss listed pharmaceutical/specialty chemical firm which is the worldwide market chief within the (outsourcing of) manufacturing of Polypeptide, a fancy molecule and Lively Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) that’s, amongst others, behind the blockbuster medicine Wegovy, Ozempic and many others. Demand for these molecules is poised to develop exponentially over the approaching 5-7 years (15% market progress p.a. ,“Golden age of Peptides”).
This progress is pushed by a number of completely different elementary progress drivers which will increase the understanding of the projected progress charges. The complexity of the manufacturing course of along with regulatory necessities and “Anti China” laws within the US supplies a good “moat” for the approaching years which makes Bachem, regardless of its comparatively excessive valuation (28×2026 P/E), a really attention-grabbing funding case on a 3-5 12 months time horizon for my part.
It’s clearly not an funding for everybody, however for extra progress oriented traders, Bachem could possibly be an attention-grabbing inventory to have a look at. In my case, it’s a 3% place for my small “high quality progress bucket” alongside Sensible and Chapters Group.
- Some editorial remarks:
Initially, I deliberate to jot down up and make investments into each Bachem and its Swiss listed competitor Polypeptide Group. Attributable to trip time and the hearsay of a PE take-over, Polypeptide share worth elevated by +50% since I began to deep dive into these two corporations which made the inventory much less enticing. Bachem solely went up like +15% so I due to this fact consider Bachem.

As well as, I simply needed to make it clear that I write “by hand” however I do use a number of AI instruments throughout my analysis (NotebookLM, Claude Cowork). You will see that some output of AI fashions right here on this write-up, as for some circumstances (i.e. making footage), AI has simply significantly better capabilities than I’ve.
In any case, I do count on numerous essential feedback on this.
- Soundtrack:
To ensure that my readers to really take heed to the compulsory soundtrack throughout studying the write-up, I’ll put up it proper at this spot. I feel “Golden Years” from David Bowie is the right Soundtrack for this
