Mumbai-based pharma giant Cipla Ltd is set to release its June quarter earnings on Friday, July 29. Analysts expect the company to post a muted rise in revenues on a yearly basis to Rs 5,670.5 crore due to weakness in domestic sales.

Four out of five brokerages project the company’s revenue to increase by 3-6 per cent year-on-year (YoY), while the fifth, ICICI Securities, estimates a 1.2 per cent decline for the same. The adjusted profit after tax is also likely to decline by up to 25 per cent YoY to Rs 608 crore.
