Company Report

CSL's Core Plasma Business Turning the Corner

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 largely balanced with demand. CSL is well positioned, having rationalized its plasma collection centers.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

CSL is investing in plasma yield initiatives, 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.
