Dr. Reddy’s Falls The Most In Over 17 Years, Recovers Later

Shares of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories nearly 30 percent intraday, the most since October 2001, to Rs 1,872. However, it recovered later.

The drugmaker received a Form 483 with 11 observations from the U.S. FDA after the inspection of Formulations Manufacturing Plant in Hyderabad, according to its stock exchange filing on Feb. 8.

Form 483 is used by the drug regulator to document and communicate concerns discovered during plant inspections.

Brokerage and research firm Jefferies noted that the 11 observations includes four repeat observations, including one repeated from 2015 and 2017.

“Given the repeat observations and the number of investigations cited, remediation would take time and likely require re-inspection,” Jefferies said in a note.

Trading volume was 40 percent below 20-day average, Bloomberg data showed. The stock advanced 22 percent in the past 12 months compared to a 5 percent gain in the Sensex.
