thebalanced.newsMax Healthcare Reports Q4 FY26 Profit Growth Amid Capacity Expansion Plans
Max Healthcare Institute reported a 3-7% year-on-year rise in Q4 FY26 net profit, with network PAT ranging from Rs 342 crore (consolidated) to Rs 387 crore (network). Gross revenue grew 10-12% to around Rs 2,664 crore, driven by higher occupied bed days and stable 75% bed occupancy. The company approved a Rs 1,400 crore investment for a 712-bed hospital in Lucknow and is expanding capacity by 20% through brownfield projects, with another 10% expected by year-end. EBITDA rose 8%, though margins softened due to increased clinician costs amid aggressive hiring and expansion. A final dividend of Rs 2 per share was recommended for FY26.
