Dr Reddys Labs:

Prabhudas Lilladher is bullish on Dr Reddys Labs and has recommended buy rating on the stock with a target of Rs 2038 in its October 30, 2012 research reports.

"DRRD's Q2FY13 result was significantly above our estimates led by strong growth in US generics and PSAI business. The company reported strong improvement in profitability led by benefit of operating leverage. The company is expected to continue to report strong performance, going forward, led by all-round growth. At the current price, the stock trades at 17.3x FY13E and 15.1x FY14E earnings. We maintain ‘BUY' with target price of Rs2,038."

Shriram Transport:

Prabhudas Lilladher is bullish on Shriram Transport Finance Corporation and has recommended accumulate rating on the stock with a target of Rs 650 in its October 30, 2012 research reports.

"SHTF's Q2FY13 PAT of Rs3.4bn was in line with expectations, with relatively stable asset quality and better-than-expected pick up in used/new CV disbursements. Operating performance seems to be stabilising now, with stable margins and credit costs. Though growth has surprised and valuations at 1.6x FY14 book is reasonable considering SHTF's used CV book facing lower competitive intensity, we are not as sanguine as the management on the CV cycle and there is a possible impact from impending regulations and hence, maintain our ‘Accumulate' rating with a PT of Rs650/share."
