Sentiment has also remained robust for Aurobindo Pharma as expectations of recovery in the US generics market on account of easing price erosion, and drug shortages are anticipated to lift the drug makers' earnings.
Aurobindo Pharma is the largest Indian player in US generics, which makes it a beneficiary of the improving trend of the US market.
It is on the back of these bullish expectations that the stock has surged over 89 percent in the year so far. Going ahead, analysts and investors will remain focused on the company's quarterly earnings to see if the drugmaker delivers on the Street's expectations. The drug maker is yet to announce the release date for its April-June earnings.
