2-Min Summary
Lincoln Pharma delivered a solid Q3 FY26 with revenue of ₹166.3 Cr (+13.5% YoY) and PAT of ₹28.6 Cr (+37.7% YoY), driven by strong export growth and the new cephalosporin (CIFA) block contributing ~₹45 Cr annualized. EBITDA margin expanded ~100 bps to 23.3%, aided by favorable product mix and operating leverage.

We are still sticking to that but it might take five six months here and there but we are still sticking to the number what we have in mind.
Frankly telling you to be on a secure side I would say 15 would be ideal but no we might go up to between 15 to 18 that's what we can expect.
We don't want to get into that because our strength is into manufacturing and marketing of the product through the distribution channel only.
