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. Two, it removes the fear hanging over some companies and sectors that they may be put on the tariff list if the situation is not resolved. Now, which is the sector where the fear of a possible tariff hike is most palpable? The answer is pharma. The reason it has not been tariffed by President Trump is that any additional duty will mean higher medicine costs in the US. And it will lead to higher inflation. But then you don't know what he might do. So, there is an element of “what if” at the moment, and getting that removed is good enough.
