Cadila is the pick of the pharma pack: Deepak Mohoni

How do you see mid-cap pharmaceutical stocks like Cadila Healthcare, AstraZeneca, illiquid or Dishman Pharma?

Cadila probably is the pick of the lot. Its volumes are not so bad and it has been in a pretty good bull run. So it consolidates now and then, does not fall much, keeps going up. So of these, I would pick Cadila.

Dishman has in fact taken quite a bit of beating once in a while, so it is a slightly risky stock. Given in pharma, you have got these stocks, which can tank in bear markets. This is a time to have a portfolio, which is completely devoid of any such stock. You will get good enough returns out of the safer stocks also.
