MedPlus Health Reports 21.7% Profit Decline Amid 21.9% Revenue Growth in Q1 FY27
MedPlus Health Services reported a 21.7% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 33 crore for Q1 FY27, despite a 21.9% rise in revenue to Rs 1,880 crore. The profit drop was attributed to margin compression, lower growth in the private label pharma segment, and higher operating expenses. While revenue growth exceeded estimates, gross margin fell by 163 basis points. Brokerage Nomura maintained a 'Buy' rating, citing the company's long-term growth potential driven by its store expansion strategy.
