Operational profit after tax registered a growth of 38.6 per cent YoY at ₹128.2 crore.

The management said Strides continues to deliver a strong performance in Q3FY26 with growth primarily driven by the Other Regulated Markets and Growth Markets.

The management remains optimistic about performance in other regulated markets, anticipating stronger revenue growth in FY26 as European partners prepare for product launches. The company also expects these markets to eventually generate revenue on par with its US operations, analysts at Geojit Investments had said in the Q2 result update. 

In the Generics segment, Strides Pharma has identified 60 dormant ANDAs for reactivation over the next three years. These products are progressing through various regulatory phases, including Prior Approval Supplements (PAS) related to source changes and cost efficiencies. Their relaunch is integral to the company’s strategy of reaching the US$400 million revenue from generics milestone, the company said in its FY25 annual report. 

Looking ahead, growth will be driven by the expansion of product portfolio and continued acquisition of new customers across key markets. The company is well-positioned to capitalise on a robust funnel of opportunities currently in the pipeline, which are expected to convert into meaningful revenue streams, Strides said.  ==========================  Disclaimer: View and outlook shared on the stock belong to the respective brokerages and are not endorsed by Business Standard.
