Key Points
Cipla, again, revising their margin guidance from 23% to 24% odd, higher end of the range is a possibility for the better part of this financial year."..
Since you were talking about the earning season, one cannot ignore the kind of outperformance that we have seen from the pharma sector whether it is the upgrade coming in from Cipla or the fact that Sun Pharma is holding up with a gain of around 2.5% and then Piramal Pharma that was quite a bit of turnaround story as well..
The kind of pipeline that they have got, specifically in its respiratory portfolio, can do wonders in the next financial year as well as approvals start coming through and that is probably something which is creating a huge impact as far as US formulation numbers are concerned...
Similarly, for Sun, the kind of pipeline that they have probably got, specialty sales is now 16.5% of the total top line, R&D expenditure at 6.5% but that is expected to inch even higher, maybe 7-7.5% for the better part of this year..
As this builds up over the next few quarters and as the pipeline starts getting monetised, the kind of numbers that you are expecting, both in terms of US domestic formulation sales as well as the India number, where they are holding on to the numero uno position can very well continue. Obviously, the stocks have moved higher, the stocks have shown good, strong price action over the last few months but we continue to remain optimistic on that..

Titan and Balrampur Chini are high conviction buys for Hemang Jani. Here’s why
23, Nov, 23“I would buy real estate stocks if there is a small correction of about 5%, 10%. These are all high beta stocks. Interest rates have not really gone down. I am a little surprised that even at higher interest rates, these kinds of numbers are being delivered. So I want to have some exposure. But purely from a momentum perspective, on a dip.”

28, Jul, 23Ujjivan Small Finance Bank (SFB) anticipates that it will see a full-year net interest margin (NIM) of about 9%, slightly down from the 9.2% reported for this quarter. It had anticipated a small decline in interest rates in the second half of the year, but the bank now expects that current interest rates will remain in place for the whole financial year. Although the cost of funds is slightly higher than it is today, the new portfolio will have slightly higher rates to make up for this loss.

24, Aug, 23Whenever we have seen a change of management like this, it has worked positively for shareholders. Look at what happened in JB Chemicals, and even then UniChem. All the acquisitions which have taken place in the pharma industry have been very positive for both the acquirer as well as the acquired company. They also have been able to unlock a lot of synergy. So I am very positive on this particular development in Cipla, being a shareholder and a disclosure, we and our clients are invested in it.
Will the summer temperatures make them go higher this time? 5 stocks whose fortunes are dependent on how m
05, Mar, 24How monsoons pans out have a strong bearing on the overall economic numbers of the companies. However there are companies whose fortunes are linked with what happens before monsoons, that is summer season. Given the fact that we are about to see the start of the season, first forecasts from IMD about how the summer season is likely to pan out have started to come in and IMD is indicating that average temperatures may be higher this year.While the white good companies in general tend to see a bump up in their sales, but there are a select few whose large part of the sales and the bottomline contributions comes from air conditioners or air coolers part of the business. For these companies, two things are very important. First is what is the average length of the summer season and secondly what average temperature during those months. Last year these companies underperformed as the summer season got late. But as the street is always ahead in discounting what will happen in future, these stocks should be on the watch list as the run up in stock will happen much before you feel the summer heat.

Largecap IT, Reliance provide opportunities for very long-term investors: Neeraj Dewan
20, Mar, 23Reliance had been in the Rs 2,200-2,700 band for quite some time. It has come closer to the lower end of the band and there are definitely positive triggers which will come later – maybe listing of Jio or the retail arm getting demerged into a different company. All those triggers will come eventually. So valuation-wise, after the correction, it looks more attractive.
