Demand for CSL’s Products Persists as Supply Improves

CSL is one of three Tier 1 plasma therapy companies that benefit from an oligopoly in a highly consolidated market. All the players are vertically integrated as plasma sourcing is a key constraint in production. The plasma sourcing market is currently in short supply, however, CSL is well positioned having invested significantly in plasma collection centers, owning roughly 30% of collection centers globally.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

CSL is investing in both physical capacity and R&D, leaving it well positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities in the key immunoglobulins market.

Bears

Areas of the plasma industry could be replaced by newer therapies, which would leave CSL overinvested in plasma collection and fractionation capacity that will be hard to repurpose.

Company Profile

CSL is one of the largest global biotech companies and has two main segments. CSL Behring either uses plasma-derived proteins or recombinants to treat conditions including immunodeficiencies, bleeding disorders and neurological indications. Seqirus is now the world’s second largest influenza vaccination business and was acquired in fiscal 2015. CSL has a strong R&D track record, and the product portfolio and pipeline include nonplasma products as the firm continues to broaden its scope. Originally formed in Australia as a government-owned entity, CSL now earns roughly half its revenue in North America and a quarter in Europe.
