Pharma stocks: Moving from ‘What if’ to ‘Maybe not’. 8 pharma stocks, 3 with upside potential above 22%; others not so high, but…
There are two ways to look at the hope which the street is reflecting when it comes to a possible India-US tariff deal. One, it will bring down the tariffs (raised recently) on a number of products.
