Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 17.7% over the past year, and 22.3% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 18.2% to 29.2% over the last two years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 22.3% a year against a sector median of 13.1% — 9.2 percentage points faster.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
Too little price history yet to compare it with its own past.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Priced at 0.4 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 227%.

Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
How it compares with its peers
Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Pharmaceuticals), it ranks 41 of 130 on returns, 14 of 127 on growth, 23 of 130 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?
A narrow advantage: it earns 19.6% on capital, ahead of 68% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
Whether its growth pays for itself
Roughly — Over the last five years it made ₹1410 crore of cash from the business and spent about as much on plant and equipment. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 8 years, about 196 arrived as cash — well above the profit; depreciation and interest are the reason, not a windfall. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 42 days for its cash to waiting 70 days for its cash.

US waives tariffs on certain speciality drugs from 20 countries, including India - Moneycontrol.com
The US waived tariffs on certain speciality drugs from 20 countries including India, which helps Indian drug exporters like Sun Pharma by keeping US sales cheap and hurts no one directly.
Who it hits first
- The United States waived import tariffs on certain speciality drugs shipped from 20 countries, including India, just ahead of a threatened 100% tariff on pharmaceuticals.
- Indian makers of speciality and generic drugs — led by Sun Pharmaceutical (India's largest drug maker), Dr Reddy's Laboratories, and Cipla — can keep selling into the US without a sudden cost jump.
- The relief is narrow (only certain speciality drugs) and comes with the bigger tariff threat still hanging, so the gain is real but capped.
Who may gain
- Sun Pharmaceutical (India's largest drug maker) — biggest US speciality and generic sales base to protect.
- Dr Reddy's Laboratories (generic and speciality drug maker) — keeps US pricing intact.
- Cipla (respiratory and generic drug maker) — same US cost relief.
- Divi's Laboratories (bulk-drug ingredient maker) — supplies all three named exporters, so steadier US orders flow upstream.
- Laurus Labs (drug-ingredient and contract maker) — supplies Dr Reddy's and Cipla.
- Biocon (biologics maker) — speciality-biologic sales get tariff shelter, though weak profits limit the cheer.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Downstream, US distributors and patients see no price jump on the covered speciality drugs, so demand stays steady rather than shifting to other countries' suppliers.
Upstream
Upstream makers of drug ingredients benefit second-hand: Divi's Laboratories supplies Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy's, and Cipla, and Laurus Labs supplies Dr Reddy's and Cipla, so steadier US formulation sales support their order books.
Where demand moves
Business
US buyers keep ordering Indian speciality drugs at tariff-free prices instead of cutting back or switching suppliers, so export volumes and margins for Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy's, and Cipla hold up.
Capital
Investors re-rate US-exposed pharma shares as the near-term tariff shock is removed, pulling money back into large exporters and their ingredient suppliers.
How it spreads across sectors
Healthcare
Positive but narrow — US-facing drug exporters and their ingredient suppliers gain, while domestic hospitals and labs feel nothing.
When it plays out
Immediate
In 1-7 days, US-exposed pharma shares likely bounce as the tariff threat lifts and exporters confirm coverage.
Medium term
In 1-6 months, the benefit lasts only if the waiver holds and the broader tariff stays away; any widening of US drug tariffs reverses it.
Short term
In 1-4 weeks, gains settle as investors check which speciality drugs are covered and watch the threatened 100% tariff's next move.
