Dr. Reddy's Laboratories trades 142% below our estimate of fair value, against 52% below our estimate of fair value for Sun Pharmaceutical Industries. A wider discount is not automatically the safer buy — it can equally mean the market sees a risk the accounts do not show yet — but on price against estimated value, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories is the cheaper of the two today.
Every figure below is drawn from each company's own filed statements. Estimated fair value is the per-share figure our engine will stand behind; where a business needs a model that does not reduce to one number, it is shown as “—”.

The largest Indian pharma, on the same US-generics swing.
Worked backwards from today's share price: the rate each company must sustain to justify what it costs, against what its own ten-year record supports.
Same method, same filed accounts — each of these works both companies through to a fair value.
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories trades 142% below our estimate of fair value, against 52% below our estimate of fair value for Sun Pharmaceutical Industries.

Each company is valued from its own filed financial statements — ten years of results — using the method that fits that business, then set beside the other on price, valuation multiples, return on equity and what today's share price already assumes. It is a like-for-like comparison of the workings, not investment advice.
