Why Venus Remedies Share Price Is Rising

In news from the pharma sector, Venus Remedies shares were trading 3% higher in the morning trade of 14 September after the pharma company, in a regulatory filing, announced having registered with the union government's Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR).

This will allow the company to avail exemption from paying customs duty.

This exemption will not only enable the company to reduce production costs but also empower it to invest more in research and development, enhancing our competitiveness and expanding our global reach.

Venus Remedies is engaged in the business of pharmaceutical production.

The company specialises in producing various formulations in the therapeutic segment, including antibiotics, oncology drugs, and critical care medicines.

So far in 2023, shares of the company have rallied 35%.

Cipla Stake Sale In Doubt

Moving on, the sale of a stake in Cipla is in jeopardy as potential buyers have baulked at the Rs 1.09 tn (US$ 13.1 billion) valuation members of the founding family are targeting the Indian firm in a deal.

Negotiations between the family members and prospective buyers, including companies in the industry and private equity firms, are no longer moving forward, as the founders are demanding about Rs 1,350 per share.

The price represents a premium of about 10% over Wednesday's close.

The family members could sell some or all of their stakes in Cipla.

Deliberations are ongoing, and no final decision has been made on the deal.

The family members can still revise the asking price or decide not to proceed with the sale.

Cipla is a leading pharmaceutical player in India. The company has secured a spot within the top 5 Indian branded formulations market.

Around 40% of its revenues stem from the domestic market, while the rest is derived from exporting formulations and active pharmaceutical ingredients to countries including South Africa, emerging markets, and the United States.
