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।

We are currently executing three major CapEx programs backed by long-term supply commitments.
Divi's has strategically decided that we will not look at generic part of peptide synthesis. We are right now fully occupied with the amount of CS projects we have.
I don't think I can foresee any, at least in the next two quarters, anything that is going to be in a better situation for generics than it is today.
