What Dr. Reddy's Laboratories does

Major Indian generic-drug maker selling generics, APIs and biosimilars across the US, Europe, Russia/CIS and India.

North America, mainly generics sold to wholesalers, pharmacy chains and purchasing groups, is the largest region, and profit swings come from a few limited-competition generic launches, since prices on older products fall as competitors enter. Active ingredients sold to other drugmakers add a smaller line. The Reddy family and associates are the promoters.

In one line: India's Teva Pharmaceutical.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
