Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (DRRD IN): Q4FY23 Result- Sequential Decline in Key Parameters

By Tina Banerjee

  • Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (DRRD IN) announced mixed Q4FY23 result, with revenue beating consensus and net profit missing expectations. Both revenue and net profit grew YoY but declined sequentially.
  • North America grew 27% YoY (but declined 17% QoQ) to INR25.3B, driven by new product launches, growing market share in certain existing products, and favorable Fx movement.
  • Revenue from India business increased 32% YoY and 14% QoQ to INR12.8B, driven by favorable price variance, new product launches including acquired/in-licensed products, and non-core brand divestments.

Broad-Based Improvement in India, Add Exposure/Overweight. Buys: Cyclicals in Japan, India, & Taiwan

By Joe Jasper

  • Our 2023 outlook remains unchanged as we continue to expect broad-based consolidation with $93 capping upside on MSCI ACWI (ACWI-US), while important downside targets are $86, $84, and $75-77.
  • We still recommend tactical overweight to defensives including gold miners and MSCI ACWI Staples, Health Care, and Utilities, given ACWI-US remains near the top of our expected 2023 trading range.
  • We are now starting to see broad-based improvement, particularly in Japan and India, but also in Taiwan and South Korea. Most of today’s buy recommendations are cyclicals in these countries.
