On CAPS, 95% of the 537 members who have rated Dr. Reddy's believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include tytymhorau and NHWeston.

A few months ago, tytymhorau informed Fools that Dr. Reddy's is "a global provider of generic drugs and related active ingredients." Our CAPS member continues: "Poised to profit from an increasing pipeline of drugs coming off patent, the insurance industry's increasing push toward generics in developed countries, and the cost effectiveness of generics for expanding health care in developing countries."

Dr. Reddy's might not be a household name in the U.S., but in India, it happens to be the country's most profitable pharmaceutical company. While it lacks the sheer scale and reputation of more established generic players like Teva, Novartis, Mylan, and Watson, there's a strong case to be made for Dr. Reddy's as the superior growth stock. Over the past one-year, two-year, and five-year time periods, shares of Dr. Reddy's have significantly outperformed each of those same rivals.

Of course, with a still relatively small size, access to cheaper labor, and growing exposure to emerging markets, CAPS members like NHWeston think the stock still has plenty of room to run:

Dr. Reddy's is a rapidly growing player in the global generics market. For now, they virtually own their domestic market in India and, although overshadowed by more flashy companies like Teva, they are gaining market share in Europe and Latin America. Less celebrated but also important is -- or so I'm told -- they're doing some interesting original work in melanoma, diabetes, and cholera.
