UBS prefers Sun Pharma and Cipla among Indian drugmakers and expects the stocks to return 26% and 23%, respectively, over Friday’s closing.
Ascribing sell ratings to Lupin, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Zydus Lifesciences and Aurobindo Pharma, the brokerage said the US generic market has been declining and the pace could worsen.
