Sun Pharma’s key geographies, US and India, are witnessing improved traction. A strong growth in chronic therapies, including the sub chronics along with likely growth in acute therapies and product launches would fuel growth in the domestic formulations business. Growth in the US business would be driven by a pick-up in specialty business coupled with traction from new product launches.
Q1FY2022 results were ahead of estimates and considering this, we have revised upwards our estimates for FY22E and FY23E.
Improved growth prospects, healthy balance sheet position are the key positives, while resolution of all legal matters by subsidiary with Department of Justice antitrust and civil division in the US generic markets is positive and would remove the overhang on the stock.
