5 pharma stocks upside potential of up to 31%:
Pharma stocks had been under pressure for a long time. Partly this under performance was due to over valuation at which these companies were trading since 2015.
Also stocks came in the overowned category for both the institutional and retail investors portfolio. Last but not the least, close to 2014, USFDA inspections became both more in numbers and stricter, many companies which assumed that they can take care of anything, got a rude shock.
After all the head and tailwinds, many companies which had changed their focus, fruits are visible in terms of them moving into new markets and better financials.
Large pharma companies whose fortunes are tied up with pricing trends in US markets, there is finally some good news. Companies which had kept their focus on the domestic market are close to completing their rejig.
A number of them kicked off restructuring plans long back, in some cases as long as three to four years back.
The stocks collated with data from the latest Stock Reports dated Oct 11th, 2023.
