Speaking of rising markets, In June 2016, when Sensex was trading at around 27,000 mark, Tanushree shared with her subscribers a report on why Sensex could go up to 40,000…. And the four safe stocks that one could count on to create permanent wealth.
Sensex is close to that mark now. But the way Tanushree sees things now, the Sensex is on its way to hit 100,000 mark by the next decade.
That said, she believes it’s not going to be a continuous joy ride. In fact, a majority of these gains will be led by stocks outside of the Sensex.
In the news from the pharmaceuticals sector, Lupin share price was in focus today as the company reported a 44% year-on-year (YoY) decline in net profit at Rs 2,028 million for the quarter ended June.
Total income during the quarter grew 3.6% YoY to Rs 40 billion.
The subdued performance was primarily seen on the account of lower sales in the US and Japan. Sales in North America, the company’s largest market, fell 26%.
