Quarter read
What the record says.
Laurus Labs delivered a strong FY26 with revenue of ₹6,813 crore (+23% YoY) and EBITDA margin expansion of 670 bps to 26.8%, driven by a 38% surge in small molecule CDMO (₹1,896 crore) and 18% growth in affordable medicines (₹4,733 crore). PAT jumped 148% to ₹889 crore as gross margins improved to 60.4% on better mix and raw material softening. Management guided for continued CDMO growth, with capex of ₹3,000 crore over two years for capacity expansion (Unit 7, peptide, fermentation). However, geopolitical disruptions could pressure raw material availability and logistics, posing near-term headwinds for the generics business.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Increased from earlier ₹1,000 crore annually; 90% towards mid/large-scale manufacturing.
- Management reiterated target; ARV sales to remain constant in absolute terms.
- Confident in maintaining stable margins despite solvent price pressures.
- Greenfield project; additional blocks in FY28 with combined 2,000 m³ reactor volume.
Risks flagged
- Management noted increasing geopolitical tensions may pressure OTF performance in generics.
- Q4 FY26 saw some impact; management expects to weather via mix and utilization.
- Analyst raised concern; management stated three commercial APIs have long patent life and clear forecasts, but no granular disclosure.
- Management deferred specifics on OLED collaboration and crop science ramp-up, indicating multi-quarter uncertainty.
Key quotes
- We are a strategic partner for many big pharma right now. So we have a flow of RFP commercial early stage mid-stage late stage commercial.
- Most of the capex what we're doing is growth capex. We are not putting capex and hoping customer will come and give projects.
- We are very confident on maintaining or improving stable margin in FY27.
