Sun Pharma - Q1 FY22 Result Report - YES Securities

(Rating: ADD, TP: Rs820, Upside: 6%)

US sales ramp up, margin comfort key positives

- Sun Pharma clocked a modest ex-Taro US quarter in a palpable relief as ex-Taro US sales not as much impacted by price erosion as seen with peers.

- Key to watch would be the ramp up in US specialty sales and margin trajectory. We expect investments to inch up on existing and acquired products like Winlevi.

- Expect margins to normalize for rest of FY22 and improve to ~25% on sustainable basis in FY23.

- ADD stays on a business whose specialty sales can offer some buffer in times of steeper price erosion than seen in past 1-2 years.

- We marginally tweak domestic sales and expect a stronger US momentum be carried in to FY23; revise our TP upwards to Rs820.
