Dr. Reddy’s Earnings: Strong Demand From Developed Markets Fuels Solid Second-Quarter Results
No-moat Dr. Reddy's reported second-quarter results that were largely in line with our expectations. Total sales were up 9.1% thanks to strong volume mainly in the United States and Europe. The firm also benefited from less-severe price erosion, which typically fluctuates between high single digits to low double digits, compared with previous years in developed markets like the U.S. We maintain our fair value estimate of $54 per share.
