Why Is
$SUN Pharma Falling?
1-Earnings Disappointment:
The
$STOCK fell around 4.6% after reporting a 20% drop in consolidated net profit for Q1 FY26, from ₹2,836 crore to ₹2,278 crore. While revenue rose 10%, concerns over lower other income and higher tax burden weighed on investor sentiment Regulatory Headwinds:
Ongoing US FDA scrutiny at its Halol and Mohali facilities continues to worry the market. The Halol plant received eight Form‑483 observations, limiting potential upside. Resolution is expected to have only marginal impact (USD ~50 million) on revenue.
2-Global Trade Tensions:
An unexpected announcement of a proposed 25% tariff on Indian exports to the U.S. sparked fears for pharma exporters like
$SUN Pharma. Though exemptions exist, the uncertainty has pressured the broader pharma sentiment.
3-Weak Analyst Sentiment & Guidance:
Broking firms reduced FY26/27 earnings estimates due to higher R&D expenditure, branded business costs, and tax rate increases. Despite retaining Buy ratings, target prices were adjusted lower—motilal Oswal at ₹1,960, Nomura at ₹1,970 Specialty Portfolio Under Pressure:
Its advanced research arm SPARC saw a ~20% crash following the failure of a key psoriasis drug in Phase 2 trials, denting long-term growth visibility.
4-Sectoral Weakness:
The broader pharma index declined sharply as Sun Pharma underperformed peers. On high-volume days, Sun Pharma has been a leading laggard, amplifying negative pressure.
