Alkem Laboratories reported a strong Q1 FY26 with revenue of ₹3,371 crore (+11.2% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹739 crore (+21.4% YoY), driven by robust domestic growth (12% YoY) and improved gross margins from lower API costs and favorable mix. US business grew 8.8% YoY despite 3-4% price erosion, aided by supply chain recovery. Management maintained FY26 guidance (EBITDA margin ~19.5%) citing potential headwinds from R&D phasing (4.5-5% of sales) and new initiatives (CDMO, medtech) incurring ~₹50-60 crore quarterly opex in H2. Key risk: US tariff uncertainty could pressure margins if implemented.
