Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC, SBI Life Insurance Company, SBI Cards and Payment Services, India Radiators, and Sigachi Industries will also release their September quarter earnings reports today

Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC, ITC Hotels, SBI Life Insurance Company, and NACL Industries are among the key firms scheduled to release their Q2FY26 (July–September) financial results today.

 

Other companies announcing their quarterly earnings include SBI Cards and Payment Services, India Radiators, Cigniti Technologies, Coforge, Sigachi Industries, and eClerx Services. 

Dr Reddy's Q2 preview

 

Dr Reddy’s Laboratories is expected to report moderate year-on-year growth for the September 2025 quarter (Q2FY26), driven by a strong domestic performance and growing contributions from its inorganic portfolio in Europe. While US sales may face pressure due to ongoing weakness in Revlimid and price declines, the company’s India business and strategic acquisitions are expected to provide a cushion.

 

 

Brokerages tracked by Business Standard anticipate Dr Reddy’s net profit to reach ₹1,479 crore, reflecting a moderate 5.5 per cent Y-o-Y rise from ₹1,401 crore in Q2FY25. On a quarterly basis, the bottom line is expected to increase marginally by 4.3 per cent.

 

The pharma major’s revenue for Q2FY26 is projected to grow 7.7 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹8,637 crore, up from ₹8,016 crore in the corresponding period last fiscal. On a sequential basis, revenue is expected to remain largely flat compared to ₹8,545 crore in Q1FY26. Brokerages expect the company’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) to be almost flat at ₹2,238 crore Y-o-Y, compared to ₹2,248 crore in Q2FY25.
