Pharma Stocks Outlook for the Week – 09 to 13.02.2015


Stocks of frontline drug makers would continue their downtrend next week on account of profit booking. There has been quite a bit of profit booking in pharma stocks yesterday. We are also expecting muted earnings numbers for pharmaceutical companies in the following week. The Street will also be looking for Oct-Dec earnings of specific stocks including, Cipla Ltd, Sun Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Natco Pharma Ltd and Ipca Laboratories Ltd. The muted trend would continue next week. We may also see some pressure on the BSE index. We expect Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd to outperform, and short-selling for Dr Reddy's Laboratories Ltd's stocks. We also expect pressure on stock of Ipca Laboratories and expect the company to post poor Oct-Dec earnings.
