Shares of Wockhardt Ltd rose 3.5% to touch a dayβs high of Rs 1,854 on 14th July, after the company announced its exit from the US generics business as part of a broader realignment.
Wockhardt has exited its loss-making US generics business, filing for voluntary liquidation under Chapterβ―7 of the US Bankruptcy Code.
The move aligns with Wockhardtβs longβterm vision to become a differentiated, innovationβled pharma company.
In the future, the company will focus on two pillars: new antibiotic drug discovery and its biologics portfolio in insulin.
US generics posted an $8β―million loss in FY25, and a strategic review found the segment misaligned with Wockhardtβs innovation agenda.
The exit affects two whollyβowned US subsidiariesβMorton Grove Pharma and Wockhardt USA LLCβeffective from 11thβ―July,β―2025.
Shedding the generics arm has freed up capital and management bandwidth to invest in higherβgrowth, innovationβdriven segments.
At 3:30 PM, the shares of Wockhardt Ltd closed 3.35% higher at Rs 1,816 on NSE.
