The Indore plant re-inspection, due anytime, provides a near-term catalyst window for repricing.
Report Summary
Market consensus assumes Cipla faces persistent US headwinds, but the reality is that a strong Nintedanib share and the imminent Indore plant re-inspection create a catalyst for a US respiratory rebound.
