Ranbaxy Laboratories (RBXY)
Pharmaceuticals
Aricept approval secures earnings upside from FTF pipeline—already factored in.
Key points: (1) Aricept has been approved after successfully switching the site from
Dewas/Ponta Sahib to Ohm Laboratories. (2) After the exclusivity ends the market
would be open to other players as well (Sun Pharma has already announced tentative
approval). (3) FDA flexibility on allowing a site switch augurs well for the eventual
monetization of Lipitor. Upside from this opportunity is already built into our estimates.
We therefore retain our estimates and reiterate a SELL on Ranbaxy.
