Pharmaceuticals
• We expect our coverage universe to maintain growth momentum during Q3. The sustained growth is driven by new
product introductions and higher penetration in the domestic market and regulated markets. We also expect that
CRAMS players shall report better performance, Dishman Pharma in particular. We also expect improving growth
visibility from some of the rest of the world (Row) markets
• Our industry checks suggest dissipating concerns over inventory destocking and delay in receivables. However the
expansion of field force and reorganized /added SBU's by some of the players will lead to near term margin pressures.
• We expect Opto Circuits & Ipca Labs to exhibit buoyant revenue and operating profit growth
• We expect continued sector outperformance backed by positive news flow ‐ Niche ANDA launches, increasing interest
evinced by Big Pharma companies in emerging markets and strong earnings growth visibility. These factors would
continue to support premium valuations awarded to Indian pharma stocks
