Zydus Lifesciences (ZYDUSLIF IN): U.S. Business Is Cloudy; Innovative Portfolio Has A Long Way To Go

By Tina Banerjee

  • Zydus Lifesciences Ltd (ZYDUSLIF IN) earns more than 40% revenue from the U.S. This business is under continued pricing pressure, which is squeezing the gross profit margin of the company.
  • The company has received approval for COVID-19 vaccine in India, which seems to have limited visibility and revenue potential, amid competition and uncertain COVID-19 outlook.  
  • Zydus has launched one new drug and received approval for another in India. However, its innovation portfolio has to go a long way to become a significant growth contributor.

HSIE Results Daily: Reliance Industries, Tata Power, Federal Bank, DCB Bank

By HDFC Securities

  • Reliance Industries: Our ADD rating on Reliance Industries (RIL) with a price target of INR 2,825/sh is premised on (1) recovery in the O2C businesses; (2) continued EBITDA growth in the digital business, driven by improvement in ARPU, subscriber addition, and new revenue streams; and (3) potential for further value unlocking in the digital and retail businesses.
  • Tata Power: During Q4FY22, Tata Power completed the merger of Mundra into its standalone business and also secured the extension of mining lease in KPC for 10 years.
  • Federal Bank: Federal Bank’s (FB) Q4FY22 earnings missed our estimates, largely on account of accelerated absorption of family pension expenses, but these were partly offset by multi-quarter low credit costs (20bps).
