Our Take
In first-quarter fiscal 2020, Dr. Reddy’s top and bottom lines registered year-over-year growth. This was supported by significant growth in emerging markets and India, pickup in product launches, and improvements in cost structure.
However, the company expects to experience price erosion in the North America generics market.
