Sharekhan, in its research report now, has sounded out Torrent Pharmaceuticals with a strong recommendation. It suggested that investors can target it at Rs 4,232 as the price tag is supported by recent improvements in Torrent’s financial performances and prospects of growth across all the geographies it offers services from.
Financial Performance Snapshot
Torrent Pharmaceuticals reported revenue of Rs 2,889 crore. It came with a 9 percent year-over-year growth and a modest 1 percent growth quarter-over-quarter. EBITDA growth, too, was impressive with Rs 939 crore – it had risen 14 percent year-over-year and had increased 4 percent over the quarter.

Insulin is one of the major product lines in Torrent’s portfolio and experienced a short impact from the scheduled maintenance shutdown in August. The plant is expected to come on stream in December, and the company is expecting significant recoveries in insulin sales during the fourth quarter. This setback will not have any material impact on Torrent‘s annual revenue.
Strong Growth Outlook

The high-margin product with increasing demand across international markets will keep Torrent in a favorable position for sustained growth in the future.

With a strong focus on enhancing operational efficiency, Torrent is well-positioned to seize market opportunities in both established and emerging markets.
