Fortis Healthcare delivered a strong Q1 FY26, with consolidated revenue of INR 2,167 crore (+16.6% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 491 crore (+43.2% YoY), driving margin expansion of 420 bps to 22.6%. The hospital business led growth with revenue up 18.6% to INR 1,838 crore, supported by a 10.2% increase in RPOB, improved case mix (oncology +28% YoY, robotic surgeries +75% YoY), and occupancy rising to 69%. Diagnostics revenue grew 7.4% to INR 369 crore, with EBITDA margins surging to 23% from 16.1% YoY. Management guided for 200 bps margin improvement for the full year and expects diagnostics margins to sustain 22-23%. The Gleneagles O&M agreement adds ~700 beds at 3% net revenue fee, providing low-risk EBITDA accretion. Key risks include slower ramp-up of new brownfield beds and potential dilution from integrating underperforming Gleneagles assets.
