thebalanced.newsAster DM Healthcare Q4 Revenue Rises 18% with Net Profit Growth Amid Merger Progress
Aster DM Healthcare reported an 18% year-on-year revenue increase to Rs 1,182 crore in Q4 FY26, driven by higher patient volumes and improved realizations. Normalized net profit rose between 45% and 80% across sources to around Rs 153 crore, supported by operating leverage and cost discipline. The company is progressing with its merger with Quality Care India Ltd, which will create a combined entity with over 10,600 beds across 28 cities, positioning it among India's top three healthcare providers. Full-year net profit declined due to prior-year discontinued operations.
