Alembic Pharma Q1 results analysis - Motilal Oswal Financial Services
According to analysts at MOFSL, Alembic Pharma delivered a largely in-line performance for 1QFY26 as superior execution in the export market led to Y-o-Y growth in revenue/Ebitda/PAT for the quarter. However, this growth was offset, to some
extent, by a muted show in the domestic formulation (DF) and API segments.
Alembic Pharma maintained its growth momentum in the US market on the back of new launches. Notably, upcoming introductions such as g-Entresto have the potential to further strengthen growth in the US generics segment. That said, a broader scope of business would be necessary to enhance capacity utilisation and, in turn, improve the profitability of the US generics segment, MOFSL said in a note.
"After a muted performance in FY25, ALPM is working to improve business prospects across its key markets. Growth in export markets is strengthening on the back of new launches and superior supply chain management. Considering these aspects, we expect a 24 per cent earnings compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over FY25-27. The current valuation largely factors in the earnings upside," the brokerage said.
MOFSL has maintained a 'Neutral' rating on the stock with a target price of ₹990.
