The standalone revenue increased by 14% to INR 634.90 million, while the profit surged by 88% to INR 78.38 million. In contrast, consolidated revenue declined by 8% to INR 841.05 million, but the profit soared by 459% to INR 172.96 million.

Standalone Financial Highlights
The Poultry Healthcare Division delivered strong growth, with revenues increasing by 48% to INR 941.65 million. This growth was driven by higher institutional business, deeper market penetration, and continued strengthening of customer engagement across key markets. The Animal Healthcare Division, however, saw a revenue decrease of 50% to INR 218.22 million, primarily due to delays in tender execution related to government-led immunisation programmes.
Consolidated Financial Highlights
Consolidated gross profit margins improved to 78% from 69%, supported by a favourable product mix and operational efficiencies. EBITDA and PAT increased by 95% and 88% respectively, reflecting stronger operating performance and disciplined execution across the business.
Hester Biosciences Limited remains committed to its long-term strategy of Building with Intent. Growing with Science. During FY27, the company will focus on strengthening its biologicals portfolio, expanding market penetration, advancing research and development, improving manufacturing efficiency, and strengthening operational excellence.

Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Sanofi India Limited
Sanofi India Limited belongs to the Healthcare › Drug Manufacturers – General sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.
Sanofi falls 13.8% over three months and has not found a floor yet. D/E of 0.00 and a 4.16% dividend yield give the balance sheet a decent cushion. The 4.16% dividend yield is about the only thing keeping income investors interested right now. The stock sits at 2% of its 52-week range, close to annual lows. Historically, value investors build positions at these levels — though cheap stocks can stay cheap. Revenue grows at -12.6% and the stock moves sideways over three months. Neither side makes a strong case. The next earnings print will likely break this stock out of its current range. Check Fundamentals of Sanofi India Limited.
