Pharma Stocks Outlook: Range-bound with positive bias next week
Saturday, Aug 29
Pharmaceutical shares are seen range-bound with a positive bias
next week.
Shares of Cipla and Sun Pharmaceutical are seen up, while Ranbaxy
and GlaxoSmithKline Pharma are seen down on charts.
Technically, Cipla is seen positive with resistance at 245 rupees.
Cipla had reiterated its revenue guidance of 12-15% in 2008-09,
which implies a slowdown in next three quarters, as the company
reported 32% growth in Apr-Jun.
Sun Pharma, riding on favourable court verdict on its offer for
Taro Pharma, is likely to extend its gains next week, with resistance
at 1,525 rupees and support at 1,396 rupees.
Dr Reddy's Laboratories is seen down with support at 555 rupees.
Shares of Dr Reddy's have been falling consistently on a weekly
basis for the last eight weeks, except for one, from a peak of 662
rupees.
GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals and Ranbaxy Laboratories are seen
range-bound with support at 1,222 rupees and 540 rupees respectively.
Overall, the volatility in the benchmark indices will keep
pharmaceutical shares in favour of the buyers next week.
