PAT surged 50% YoY to INR 216 crore. The standout was Cenexi reaching EBITDA break-even (EUR 0.9 million) after several quarters of losses, aided by volume recovery and cost actions.

GLP-1 cartridge capacity expansion to 140 million units by March 2026 is on track, with 20 million units expected to commercialize in FY27. Key risk: Cenexi's Q2 may dip due to summer shutdown, delaying margin ramp-up.
ग्लैंड फार्मा ने पहली तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कुल कमाई 1,506 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 7% ज्यादा है। कंपनी का मुनाफा 216 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 50% बढ़ा। खास बात यह रही कि यूरोप की कंपनी सेनेक्सी ने घाटा खत्म कर बराबरी हासिल की। अमेरिका में बिक्री स्थिर रही, लेकिन एक दवा को छोड़कर 11% बढ़ी। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि पूरे साल कमाई 15% तक बढ़ेगी। नई दवाएं लॉन्च होंगी और इंजेक्शन कार्ट्रिज बनाने की क्षमता बढ़ रही है। जोखिम: सेनेक्सी की अगली तिमाही गर्मी की छुट्टी के कारण कमजोर रह सकती है।
