Divis Laboratories reported a strong Q2 FY26 with consolidated revenue of INR 2,860 crore (+17% YoY) and PAT of INR 689 crore (+35% YoY), driven by robust custom synthesis (56% of revenue) and stable generic volumes despite pricing pressure. The company highlighted strong momentum in peptide synthesis, with a new Center of Excellence and multiple projects advancing through development. Management guided for higher FY26 CapEx (exceeding INR 2,000 crore) backed by long-term supply commitments, and expects commercial benefits from three major projects within 1-2 years. However, generic pricing pressure persists with no near-term relief, and management declined to quantify peptide capacity or margin impact of new projects. Key risk: continued generic pricing erosion could offset CS-driven growth.
डिविस लैबोरेटरीज ने दूसरी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कुल कमाई 2,860 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 17% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा 689 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 35% बढ़ा। यह ग्रोथ खास तौर पर कस्टम सिंथेसिस (दूसरी कंपनियों के लिए दवा बनाना) से आई, जो कुल कमाई का 56% है। जेनेरिक दवाओं की कीमतों पर दबाव है, लेकिन बिक्री स्थिर है। कंपनी पेप्टाइड (एक तरह की दवा) बनाने पर जोर दे रही है और इसके लिए नया सेंटर खोला है। इस साल खर्च 2,000 करोड़ रुपये से ज्यादा होने का अनुमान है। तीन बड़े प्रोजेक्ट से 1-2 साल में फायदा मिलेगा। लेकिन जेनेरिक दवाओं की कीमतों पर दबाव जारी रहेगा। कंपनी ने पेप्टाइड क्षमता या नए प्रोजेक्ट के मुनाफे पर असर के बारे में नहीं बताया। मुख्य जोखिम: जेनेरिक दवाओं की कीमतें गिरने से कस्टम सिंथेसिस से होने वाली ग्रोथ पर असर पड़ सकता है।

Read Transcript →Custom synthesis contributed 56% of total revenue in Q2, up from 40% in Q2 FY25, reflecting strong CDMO demand.
Combined exports to Europe and US accounted for 74% of total sales, consistent with prior periods.
Nutraceutical segment contributed INR 242 crore in Q2, growing as a key growth driver.
CWIP stood at INR 2,030 crore as of Sep 2025, with INR 463 crore capitalized in H1, indicating ongoing capacity expansion.
Management expects constant currency revenue growth for the second half to be similar to H1's 10.79%.
Management confirmed that FY26 CapEx will be higher than the earlier guidance of INR 2,000 crore, driven by three new projects with long-term supply commitments.
Three dedicated custom synthesis projects are at various stages of validation/construction and are expected to contribute revenue within 1-2 years, subject to regulatory approvals.
Solid-phase peptide synthesis capacity is expected to commercialize within 12-14 months, subject to regulatory approvals and customer timelines.
Commercialization of three major CS projects depends on EU/US regulatory approvals, which could face delays.
Despite higher CS mix, overall margins have remained stable, suggesting limited upside from mix improvement due to generic pricing pressure.
Management declined to provide details on peptide capacity, margins, or specific project timelines, creating uncertainty for investors.
Analysts raised concerns about U.S. tariffs and geopolitical disruptions (Red Sea) affecting logistics and costs; management noted lack of clarity and long-term contracts as mitigants.
Commercialization of Kakinada Unit 3 and peptide capacity depends on regulatory approvals, which could take 1-2 years, delaying revenue contribution.
Mentioned in Q1 FY25, Q2 FY25, Q3 FY25, Q4 FY25
Extended lead times of 2-3 weeks due to Red Sea rerouting are increasing freight costs and complicating supply chain planning.
Mentioned in Q1 FY25, Q2 FY25
Total capital expenditure for FY25, including Kakinada, is expected to be around INR 1,600 crores, with INR 1,000 crores remaining to be spent.
Mentioned in Q1 FY25, Q3 FY25
