Product Delays Dull Dr Reddy’s Despite Upbeat Management

Dr Reddy’s had a generally positive Q4 but a slow ramp in some products in the US and potential delays in anticipated launches there are among the challenges that appear to have jaded investor outlook. Management commentary, though, was optimistic, with around 30 launches lined up for the US, a China/India thrust and M&A staying an important cog for growth.

PRODUCT DELAYS DULL DR REDDY'S OUTLOOK

Fiscal year 2019 may have marked a turnaround for Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. but the slow traction of some new products in the US and potential delays in launch timelines of certain other key products like generic Copaxone (glatiramer acetate injection) appear to have dulled investor sentiment, at least for now.

Management reported a “much more stable” pricing environment in the US compared with the last few quarters and increased launch momentum since January 2019, including for limited competition products like propofol injection, daptomycin and testosterone gel
