Sun Pharmaceutical Industries witnessed a significant improvement in the positive media coverage during the June 2018 quarter. Regulatory approvals and encouraging earnings led the positive news coverage for Sun Pharma in the June 2018 quarter.
At the same time, the volume of negative news has also dropped sharply in the same period. As a result, the long-term news sentiment has improved towards the end of the quarter.
Moreover, the improvement in news sentiment was also reflected in the recent rally in Sun Pharma’s stock price. Net-net, the news cycle was favorable for India’s leading drug maker in the June 2018 quarter.

Geneva Motor Show 2018: EVs steal the show; Volkswagen, Tata Motors lead product launch news coverage
Geneva Motor Show 2018 turned to be one of the most successful shows in recent years. Now that it has come to an end, we at Heckyl believe that success of the OEMs in showcasing new products/launches can be measured by the amount of media coverage they have received.
One clear message, visible from the attention given by Press and the OEMs, was that Electric Vehicles are arriving earlier than expected. See below our Buzzwords compilation for passenger vehicle industry from last one month’s new flow (Image 1).

At OEMs level, auto behemoth Volkswagen is back in the news for all the good reasons. A surprise inclusion in the list was that of Tata Motors whose news coverage came close 4th, almost in line with Toyota Motor but ahead of i-series manufacture BMW. We believe that this jump in news for Tata Motors can be attributed to the launch of Jaguar’s all-electric I-PACE at Geneva.
This assumption is further strengthened by the fact that in Product launch category (yes, you can search and analyze news by categories in FiND, Heckyl’s News and Data Terminal!), Tata Motors jumped to the second position in last one month’s news coverage (Image 2).
