Dr Reddys shares plunged 9% on Thursday after the drugmaker reported a weak Q1 FY27 performance, with net profit tumbling 69% year-on-year to Rs 443 crore and revenue declining 6% to Rs 8,071 crore. Earnings were hit by a Rs 240 crore semaglutide API-related impact, including inventory provisions, while higher solvent and freight costs due to the Middle East conflict further squeezed EBITDA margins.

Dr Reddy's FY27 Q1 preview indicates potential earnings pressure, with analysts predicting significant declines in profit and EBITDA.

Dr Reddy's Laboratories reported a 69% fall in Q1 profit to ₹434 crore as lenalidomide transition and semaglutide API impact offset base business growth.
