Dr Reddy's Shares Rise on Semaglutide Hopes, Then Fall After Broker Downgrades

Pharma stocks showed mixed trends recently, with Dr Reddy's Laboratories rising sharply on expectations of Canadian approval for its diabetes drug Semaglutide, boosting the Nifty Pharma Index. However, the stock later declined following cautious outlooks from Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, which downgraded the shares due to concerns over limited growth visibility, pipeline challenges, and pricing pressures. While optimism surrounds Semaglutide's potential, analysts warn of near-term risks and valuation concerns amid uncertain market conditions.
