Cipla Q4 Profit Falls 55% Amid Revenue Decline; Declares Rs 13 Dividend

Cipla Ltd reported a 55% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 555 crore for Q4 FY26, with revenue from operations falling approximately 2.8% to Rs 6,541 crore. The profit drop was attributed to higher operating costs, employee expenses, impairment charges, and lower EBITDA margins. Despite this, Cipla declared a final dividend of Rs 13 per share. For FY26, Cipla's revenue rose about 2.2%, while annual net profit declined nearly 27%. Pfizer also reported a 40% profit decline in Q4 FY26, despite revenue growth.
