Broking house ICICI Securities in its July 10 report maintained a 'reduce' rating but raised the target price to Rs 1,615.
Lupin’s recent success in the US (sales grew ~34% YoY in FY24) is driven by its better regulatory track record and traction in the inhalation portfolio. Share of inhalation products has risen from 25% of US sales in FY22 (USD 185mn) to 40% in FY24 (USD 326mn) post the launch of gSpiriva, said ICICI Securities.
In India, growth had been subdued due to the discontinuation of in-licensed brands (contribution down from 15% in FY23 to 11% in Q4FY24), broking house added.
