Pharma Stocks Outlook for the week – 07 to 11.09.2015

Stocks of frontline pharmaceutical companies are seen trading based on specific triggers, with Cipla particularly being in focus due to its US acquisitions announced yesterday. There is no sectoral trigger next week in the pharma space, some positivity is seen though with pharma being defensive sector, but mostly it would be stock-specific.

Cipla Ltd yesterday announced the acquisition of two US-based companies InvaGen Pharmaceuticals Inc, and Exelan Pharmaceuticals Inc for a combined value of $550 mln in an allcash deal. The move is seen to be a positive one by the Street. The acquisitions will strengthen the overall presence of Cipla in the US in terms of scale, revenue, and manufacturing opportunities, and would enable widening of Cipla's product portfolio.
