Apollo Hospitals shares rallies 5% as Q1 net profit jumps 42% YoY
Shares of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd surged over 5% to ₹7,623.50 in early trade on Wednesday, August 13, after the company reported a robust 42% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to ₹433 crore for Q1 FY26. The growth was powered by strong performances across its core healthcare services, diagnostics, and digital health segments.
Revenue for the quarter grew 15% YoY to ₹5,842 crore, while EBITDA rose 26% to ₹852 crore, aided by margin expansion and operational efficiencies. Chairman Dr. Prathap C Reddy credited the performance to Apollo's integrated care model and strategic investments in digital platforms and infrastructure, highlighting contributions from its three growth engines—Healthcare Services, Retail Health & Diagnostics, and Digital & Pharma Distribution.
The hospital segment's revenue rose 11% YoY, driven by a 3% increase in inpatient volumes and an 11% rise in ARPP, though occupancy dipped to 65% (down 300 bps). HealthCo revenues climbed 19%, with margins improving by 41 bps and the segment turning PAT positive.
Looking ahead, Apollo plans to add over 4,300 beds in the next five years with a ₹7,600 crore capex, along with launches like Apollo Zen (AI-powered preventive health) and OraLife (early oral cancer detection).
Brokerage sentiment remained mixed—Nomura maintained a neutral rating with a ₹6,856 target, while Citi reiterated a buy with an ₹8,260 target, citing strong Q1 performance and broad-based margin gains.
