Shares of <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/pharmaceuticals/wockhardt/W05">Wockhardt </a>are higher by more than 9 percent on September 29, marking its best day in nearly four months, as investors added bets after clarification emerged that US President Trump's <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/trump-announces-100-tariff-on-imported-pharmaceuticals-expands-duties-on-furniture-and-heavy-trucks-article-13580739.html">fresh tariff on branded pharma imports</a> will not apply to countries with which American has negotiated agreements - a relief for the European Union and Japan - a move that is expected to help the Indian drugmaker which has manufacturing facilities in Europe.

Wockhardt had acquired French firm Negma to strengthen manufacturing capacity in Europe for formulations and APIs, aside of manufacturing and injectable facility in North Wales, UK. The drug maker has presence in USA, UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Mexico, Russia and many other countries, with research facilities in India and UK, and a manufacturing facility in Ireland. Wockhardt has a significant present in Europe and India with nearly 78 percent of its global revenue coming from international businesses.

Exemptions for US Trade Partners?

While announcing the pharma tariffs, Trump did not specify if the levies would apply over and above the existing tariffs as defined with trade agreements with EU and Japan, and the UK. On September 26, Bloomberg News quoted a US government official who said duties on pharma imports from EU will not exceed 15 percent, as is the tariff framework of the deal. Drug imports from Japan too will be levied the rate defined by the trade pact, said the official.

EU Commission's deputy spokesperson Olof Gill had on Friday cited the trade agreement as an 'insurance' against Trump's fresh and higher tariffs on pharma imports into US. “This clear all-inclusive 15% tariff ceiling for EU exports represents an insurance policy that no higher tariffs will emerge for European economic operators. The EU is the only trade partner to achieve this outcome with the US,” Olof Gill had said.

No Impact of Trump Tariffs on Zaynich

Wockhardt has said that Zaynich, the company’s investigational drug which has cured complex case of meningitis
under compassionate use, has achieved over 97 percent efficacy in clinic study for serious infections, and is being manufactured in Europe. Given the drug falls under the ambit of tariffs applicable under local trade agreement, Wockhardt has said that the Trump tariffs on pharmaceuticals 'will not have significant impact' on the molecule.

"Our new molecules, like Zaynich, which we would be going to rest as our first drug, the product is entirely manufactured in Europe, and therefore it will not be covered by Indian tariffs, and it would be covered by the European tariffs," Chairman Hablil Khorakiwala said during an interaction with CNBC-TV18 on the day Trump's pharma tariffs were announced.

"There are approaches available whereby one can reduce the impact of tariffs significantly." Khorakiwala also said that the application for a USFDA filing by the company for Zaynich is expected this week. "...generally the FDA takes about 9 to 12 months for approval. So, we expect by <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/stocks/wockhardt-looking-at-fy27-us-launch-for-miracle-antibiotic-zaynich-eyes-global-market-worth-over-7-billion-13100482.html">middle of next year to be launching in the US</a> and subsequently, in H2 of next year to file in various in Europe and emerging markets," Murtuza Khorakiwla, MD of Wockhardt had said during the June quarter earnings call.

Wockhardt's Global Footprint

The drugmaker is amongst the top three Indian generic companies in UK, and sixth largest generic supplier in retail
and hospital channel in Ireland.

Wockhardt's new drugs, including Zaynich and Miqnaf - used to treat multi-drug resistant pathogens - is expected to contribute a 'fairly significant' to the company’s revenue from FY27 onwards, Khorakiwala has said in the past. Going forward, the drugmaker plans on pivot to become a novel drugmaker and is re-engineering to cater to newer therapies.

The pharma company's novel antibiotic portfolio including Zaynich, Miqnaf and Emrok, and, over the next 3-5 years, Wockhardt is developing even more insulin analogs like semaglutide.

Despite the surge in the share price this year, Wockhardt has been flat for this year, and up by 48 percent compared to last one year.

The drugmaker is amongst the top three Indian generic companies in UK, and sixth largest generic supplier in retail
and hospital channel in Ireland.

Wockhardt's new drugs, including Zaynich and Miqnaf - used to treat multi-drug resistant pathogens - is expected to contribute a 'fairly significant' to the company’s revenue from FY27 onwards, Khorakiwala has said in the past. Going forward, the drugmaker plans on pivot to become a novel drugmaker and is re-engineering to cater to newer therapies.

The pharma company's novel antibiotic portfolio including Zaynich, Miqnaf and Emrok, and, over the next 3-5 years, Wockhardt is developing even more insulin analogs like semaglutide.

Despite the surge in the share price this year, Wockhardt has been flat for this year, and up by 48 percent compared to last one year.

The Nifty Pharma index climbed 1 percent on September 29, breaking a five-day losing streak as most constituents traded higher. The rebound followed a sharp sell-off last week after US President Donald Trump announced steep 100 percent tariffs on branded and patented drugs starting October 1, part of its broader push to onshore pharma manufacturing, create jobs, and cut foreign reliance.

Out of the 20 index stocks, 15 advanced, led by Sun Pharma, Lupin, Cipla, Zydus Life, Biocon, Granules India, Torrent Pharma, Laurus Labs, Aurobindo Pharma, and Glenmark Pharma, which gained up to 2 percent.

Analysts pointed out that since India primarily exports generic drugs to the US, which remain outside the tariff ambit, the recent weakness was largely sentiment-driven. HSBC said only Sun Pharma has meaningful exposure to patented medicines in the US, adding that while the worst-case earnings hit could be 8 to 10 percent by FY27, it maintained a “Buy” call on the stock with a target price of Rs 1,850 per share.

Jefferies also highlighted Sun Pharma and Biocon as the most exposed but noted that generic exports and Indian CRDMO supplies are unlikely to be impacted, even as contradictions with recent trade pacts mean clarity on the tariff structure is still awaited.

According to Pharmexcil, the US accounts for over 35 percent of India’s total pharma exports, valued at $10 billion in FY25. For several leading drug makers, the US remains their largest market, contributing as much as 40–50 percent of revenues.

For example, Dr Reddy’s derives 47 percent of its earnings from the US, while Sun Pharma earns 37 percent. Lupin, Zydus Lifesciences, and Aurobindo Pharma each generate over $1 billion in revenues from the US market alone.

In short, if tariffs are eventually extended to complex generics and specialty medicines, the impact on Indian pharma companies could be significant.

Shares of consumer staples giant Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) tumbled in trade on Monday, September 29, after posting a weaker-than-expected business update for the September quarter, with the Goods and Services tax (GST) rationalisation impacting the sales for the period.

The firm noted that with the revised GST rates, approximately 40 percent of its portfolio including toilet soap, toothpaste, shampoo, hair oil, and others now benefit from a reduced GST rate of five percent, down from the previous GST rates of 12 percent or 18 percent.

"HUL remains committed to supporting the Government’s efforts by ensuring that the GST benefits are being passed on to consumers through competitive pricing and enhanced value across a wide range of products from 22nd September onwards. These reforms are expected to increase disposable income and drive long-term demand across key categories," added the FMCG giant.

The GST move has resulted in postponement of ordering in anticipation of receiving new stocks with updated prices and lower orders across the overall portfolio as consumers delayed their pantry buying.

As existing inventory with old prices in the trade channel (at distributor and retailer level) had to be cleared there has been a transitory impact in the quarter for HUL, with the effect likely to continue in October as well.

"This has led to a short-term impact on sales for the company in September. Given our existing pipeline inventory in the channels, we expect this impact to continue into October as well," added HUL.

Therefore, the Lifebuoy-maker added that for the quarter, the consolidated business growth is likely to be near flat to low-single digits. "This is a one-off, transitory impact, and we anticipate recovery starting November as prices stabilise, underpinned by rising disposable incomes and our ongoing portfolio transformation actions," the firm added.

At 9.40 a.m., shares of <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/personal-care/hindustanunilever/HU">HUL</a> were trading lower by 1.4 percent at Rs 2,476.7 per share, trimming some losses, after tumbling 2.5 percent at open.

Hindustan Unilever warns of flat-to-low sales growth on GST impact, shares slip
