Economic Lens
UBS initiates Buy on Shaily Engineering Plastics with 60% upside, citing 75% EPS CAGR through FY28 driven by GLP-1 injection pen opportunity and global customer expansion.
Consumers may benefit from lower-cost generic GLP-1 therapies (diabetes/weight management) as patent expiration enables affordable alternatives. Improved supply chain efficiency could reduce healthcare costs in emerging markets.
Patent expiration of GLP-1 (semaglutide) in 2026 will accelerate generic drug manufacturing in India, Canada, and Brazil. India-US trade deal and tariff reductions could boost export competitiveness. Regulatory approval timelines for generic injectables will be critical.
