AI summary

Strides Pharma reported FY26 revenue of INR4,858.7 crore (6.4% YoY growth), with US business at $284 million impacted by a weak flu season. The company achieved its highest-ever EBITDA of INR925 crore (19% margin, +140 bps) and operational PAT of INR518 crore (50% growth), crossing the INR500 crore mark for the first time. Ex-US markets delivered robust 21% growth and now contribute nearly 50% of Q4 revenue, marking a structural shift away from single-market dependency. EBITDA grew at ~26% CAGR over 3 years while margins expanded 400 bps. The company reduced net debt by INR197 crore on constant currency basis, with net debt-to-EBITDA improving from 1.9x to 1.55x. Q4 margins were impacted by ~INR20 crore additional logistics costs due to geopolitical factors. The Board recommended a dividend of INR5 per share.

Likely market impact

The strong profitability trajectory with 50% PAT growth and improving margins demonstrates operational leverage is working. The Ex-US diversification strategy is delivering faster than expected, reducing US dependency risk. However, the stock may see limited upside near-term as US recovery is expected only from H2 FY27.
