Cipla: 490-460 May Be A Very Good Demand Zone--Are US FDA Issues Peaking ?

Price & time action on the technical chart suggests that Cipla has very good support around 490-480-460 zone and sustaining above 495-505, it mat target 530-555 in the near term.

On the flip side, consecutive closing below 460, it may further fall up to 405-365 in the worst case scenario.


Trading Idea: Cipla

CMP: 503

Either buy above 495 or in dips around 480-470;

TGT: 530-555*-582-605*-630-660 (1-3-6 M)

TSL< 460

Note: Consecutive closing (3 days) below 460 for any reason, Cipla may further fall towards 430-415-405*-380-365* in the near to mid term (alternative bear case scenario from the current trading level).


In the last few months several plants of Indian pharma cos (DRL/Lupin/Cipla/Sun/Cadila/Natco) has come under US FDA scanner. It seems that Indian pharma cos are increasingly making themselves as "soft targets" of US FDA and even drug regulators of other countries, such as UK are targeting them.

Apart from quality, raw material, GMP, the main issues are involved here is data integrity and going forward, its highly expected that pharma cos will get their act together and resolve these recurring issues.

There may also be a political angle to it, specially in the US election year (from affordable quality drugs, local employment to political donation). Thus, if Indian pharma cos will able to resolve these US FDA issues by being more serious about US quality standard and data integrity, the current US FDA fiasco may be termed as "peaking".
