Dr. Reddys Laboratories (DRRD) reported weak set of numbers for Q1FY18 with revenue up 3%, whereas EBITDA and adjusted PAT tumbled 19% and 53% YoY, respectively. Operating margins declined to 9% - partially (~20%) owing to channel destocking in domestic market, and major (80%) part due to the tectonic shift in US market where channel consolidation and intensifying competition is creating havoc.
