Both the companies are good fundamentally but
given the rise that we have seen in pharma
stocks after the pandemic ,the pharma stocks are
availaible at a very high price to invest in. As the
stock price is high there is more risk involved in
investing these stocks with less returns .
But if I have to choose between these two stocks
I would rather choose Dr.Reddy’s over cipla as it
has given a consistent return as compared to
cipla , so dr reddy may prove a good investment
in long term.
