What Molbio Diagnostics does

Indian molecular diagnostics company making TrueNat point-of-care PCR testing devices for TB and infectious diseases.

Sells the small battery-run machines and then earns repeatedly on the single-use test chips each sample needs. Government health programmes, including India's TB control, are the biggest buyers and order through tenders, and the World Health Organization's endorsement of its TB test opened many overseas health programmes.

In one line: India's Cepheid equivalent for point-of-care molecular diagnostics.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
