Spark’s Take on RDY Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, RDY is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by strong fundamentals (profitability, growth, and low leverage), tempered by weaker cash-flow conversion. Technical signals are neutral-to-soft with negative momentum versus longer-term averages, while valuation is reasonable but not especially cheap and the dividend is small. The latest earnings call was mixed due to U.S. generics weakness, margin pressure, and regulatory headwinds despite continued growth elsewhere.
