HSBC Upgrades Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited (RDY) to Buy from Hold
On June 5, HSBC upgraded Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited (NYSE:RDY) from Buy to Hold, raising the price target to INR1,445 from INR1,235, citing an optimistic outlook for the company in terms of earnings potential and solid market standing. A worker at a biopharmaceutical facility packaging an active pharmaceutical ingredient. HSBC's updated estimates for FY2026 to FY2028 take into account the shifting market tide for semaglutide and gRevlimid. The analysts are waiting for semaglutide to be introduced in Canada, Brazil, and India at the beginning of FY2027, which is a greater leap from their prior hypothesis of a launch only in Canada by Q4 of FY2026. The analysts revised their FY2026 sales figures for Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited (NYSE:RDY)'s gRevlimid, noting the growing competition. The adjustment includes a 5.1% decrease in the EPS estimate for FY2026, while the EPS forecast for FY2027 and FY2028 grew by 12% to 13%. According to HSBC analysts, the expected surge in semaglutide sales will strengthen Dr. Reddy's earnings. HSBC assigned a new price target for RDY's American Depositary Receipts (ADR) as well, raising it from $14.44 to $16.90. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited (NYSE:RDY) is a global pharma company based in Hyderabad, India, that makes both branded and generic medicines for a wide range of health conditions. The company operates through Global Generics, Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI), and Others segments.
