The India Pharma and Healthcare sector is expected to see steady growth and margin improvement during Q4 FY25E, says HDFC Securities.
HDFC Securities foresees strong performances from Lupin, Ipca Labs, and Apollo Hospital, while Aurobindo and Max Healthcare may show muted results.
The hospital business is projected to grow by 18% YoY, supported by steady average revenue per occupied bed and merger and acquisitions (Max Healthcare).
Ebitda margin expansion is expected for Apollo Hospital, while Max Healthcare may see a margin decline due to integration impact of acquired hospitals.
