Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has addressed media reports suggesting that it is evaluating the acquisition of US-based Organon. 

In a communication to stock exchanges, the company stated that the reports are speculative in nature and that no material development has occurred which requires disclosure under regulatory norms.

The statement follows market discussion around a potential overseas transaction.

Company Clarification to Exchanges

Sun Pharma informed stock exchanges that recent media reports regarding a possible acquisition of Organon do not reflect any confirmed transaction or material event. 

The company stated that there is currently no information that warrants disclosure under listing regulations. 

It also reiterated its commitment to maintaining governance and transparency standards in regulatory communication.

Market Reaction

Following the clarification, Sun Pharma’s shares traded with limited movement during the session. The stock remained largely steady as investors assessed the company’s response to the media speculation.

Background to the Reports

Recent media coverage had suggested that Sun Pharma was exploring the purchase of Organon, a US pharmaceutical company focused on women’s healthcare and biosimilars. The reported transaction value was estimated at around $10 billion, including debt, and was described as a potential large overseas acquisition for Sun Pharma.

Organon, which was separated from Merck in 2021, operates across contraception, fertility treatments and biosimilar therapies. It has also been reducing non-core assets as part of its financial restructuring efforts. Market observers linked recent movements in Organon’s share price to expectations surrounding a possible sale process.

Sun Pharma’s International Strategy

Sun Pharma has built a significant presence in the US pharmaceutical market, supported by specialty and innovative drug portfolios. 

While the company has not provided further comment beyond its regulatory filing, industry participants continue to track its international expansion strategy and potential inorganic growth opportunities.
