Ipca Laboratories (IPCA IN) – Q4FY26 Result Update – Strong FY27 guidance – BUY
Published on 02 Jun 2026
IPCA reported strong EBITDA of INR 4.9bn (up 19.6% YoY), 7% above our estimates. Company has guided strong revenue growth of 12-13% and 150 bps margin expansion in FY27. Our FY27 and FY28E EPS stand increased by 2-3% which factors in 11% revenue growth in FY27. Domestic formulation and branded generic business, which now contributes 46% of revenues and ~70% of EBITDA, continued to outperform and grow at healthy levels. We believe 1) recovery in API segment 2) higher margins ex Unichem 3) steady growth in domestic formulation are the key growth drivers. At CMP, the stock is trading at 14.5x EV/EBITDA and 23x PE on FY28E adjusted for Unichem stake. We maintain our “Buy” rating on stock with TP of INR 1,800/share; valuing at 28x P/E on FY28E.
