Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd will release its fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday. All eyes will be on domestic business restructuring wherein they have shifted the Aditya Medisales operations to a wholly owned subsidiary and there could be a one-time impact on account of that.

However, Sun Pharma's US business may see some rise a quarter-on-quarter basis by around $5-7 million, which will be aided by their speciality portfolio. The management commentary will be important in terms of plans and scale-up of the speciality business.
The Street will also be keen to know about a Sebi probe. A lot of corporate governance overhang for Sun Pharma has been lifted to a large extent because of the kind of proactive steps the company took after the issues cropped up.
