Sun Pharma Q4 Preview: PAT may grow 6% YoY; domestic business to drive revenue
ADVERTISEMENT Meanwhile, net profit for the reporting quarter will lag the revenue as an average of five estimates showed 6% YoY growth.
Analysts are building in $500 million US sales in 4QFY25, primarily due to higher gRevlimid sales. Meanwhile, gross margins are seen declining 30 bps QoQ to 79.7% due to lower milestone income.
For the specialty business, there is 20% YoY growth expectation at $325 million for 4Q owing to steady execution.
We expect Sun Pharma's 4QFY25 overall sales to grow 8% YoY. For the global specialty business, we bake in a 17% QoQ sales decline to $308 million in 4QFY25, as specialty sales in 3QFY25 had inventory buildout and seasonality benefit. We build in a 9% YoY growth in India and a 9% YoY growth in RoW/EMs for 4QFY25.
ADVERTISEMENT We expect Sun Pharma's 4QFY25 gross margins to decline 30 bps QoQ to 79.7% due to lower milestone income. We bake in R&D spends at 7.7% of sales in 4QFY25 (+150 bps QoQ). On the EBITDA front, we factor in a 12% YoY growth to Rs34.7 bn, with an EBITDA margin decline of 390 bps QoQ to 26.8% due to higher R&D spend.
ADVERTISEMENT Expect DF sales to grow 13% YoY for the quarter. Clarity on the launch of Deuruxolitinib in the US market and watch out for the launch in other global markets. Factors to drive consistent growth in branded generics in emerging/ROW markets. Any further progress on products in Amplitude basket.Revenue decline seen as Q3 had one-off milestone income in ROW markets coupled with sequential fall in domestic business. US to inch up 2% QoQ on likely better Taro numbers (based on historical pattern). Higher R&D vs Q3 to dampen margin QoQ.
ADVERTISEMENT NuvamaWe build Sun Pharma's revenue to grow by 9% YoY as domestic business continues its outperformance at 10%. We build US revenue at $503 million and global specialty business at $335 million, with dermatology product sales seeing improvement. R&D spend is expected to be at 6.4% of the sales. We estimate EBITDA/PAT to grow by 22%/4% YoY with EBITDA margins at 28.4% for Q4FY25.

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas has advice for youngsters busy on social media watching reels
The clock is ticking on human adaptability Live Events Jobs will be lost. But that's not the end Recruiters may be replaced by a browser Comet is still behind a paywall, for now Who is Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas? (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Aravind Srinivas, co-founder and CEO of Perplexity AI , has offered blunt career advice for young people: spend less time doomscrolling and more time learning artificial intelligence.'Spend less time doomscrolling on Instagram; spend more time using the AIs,' Srinivas told Matthew Berman in a recent to him, fluency in AI tools is already becoming a key factor in employability. 'People who really are at the frontier of using AIs are going to be way more employable than people who are not. That's guaranteed to happen,' he warning is clear. Adapt or fall believes the pace of change in AI is now outstripping how fast most people can keep up. With new developments rolling out every few months, he thinks this technological churn is forcing an uncomfortable reality on workers across industries.'Human race has never been extremely fast at adapting,' he said. 'The field is moving in cycles of three to six months.'The message is not just about learning new skills. It's about constantly reskilling. Staying still could mean getting left everyone will make the transition. Srinivas is realistic about that. Some jobs will vanish, especially those tied to repeatable he also sees a possible route forward. People can either become builders, using AI to create new companies, or they can learn enough to contribute meaningfully to the ones already adapting.'Either the other people who lose jobs end up starting companies themselves and make use of AIs, or they end up learning the AIs and contribute to new companies,' he not just a theory. Others in the AI space share this CEO Dario Amodei has warned that up to 50 percent of entry-level white-collar jobs could disappear in the next five years. Geoffrey Hinton, often referred to as the 'godfather of AI,' has echoed this, saying AI will replace many tasks that rely on routine there are some who remain hopeful. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that AI will not erase jobs entirely but rather change the way work is gave a sharp example of what AI can already do today. On The Verge's Decoder podcast, he explained how Perplexity's Comet browser could potentially automate the entire job of a recruiter.'A recruiter's work worth one week is just one prompt: sourcing and reach outs. And then you've got to do state tracking,' he it doesn't stop at just finding candidates.'You want it to keep following up, keep a track of their responses. If some people respond, go and update the Google Sheets, mark the status as responded or in progress and follow up with those candidates, sync with my Google calendar, and then resolve conflicts and schedule a chat, and then push me a brief ahead of the meeting. Some of these things should be proactive. It doesn't even have to be a prompt,' he suggested that tools like Comet, combined with more advanced models like GPT-5 or Claude 4.5, could completely change how routine office work is the moment, Comet is only available to paying subscribers. However, Perplexity has started sending out invitations to free users. A wider rollout is expected not everything will be open a Reddit AMA, Srinivas confirmed that while the browser would be available to all eventually, more complex agent-driven features will likely stay behind a subscription Srinivas was born in India in 1994 and studied computer science before co-founding Perplexity AI. His company is focused on building conversational AI search tools designed to give direct, clear broader message is that AI is not just a tool. It's becoming a professional Srinivas, those who understand and use it early will be in control of the future job market. Those who don't may end up struggling to stay relevant.
