Cipla Q1 preview: Net profit may jump up to 4%, revenue by 8% YoY
The pharma major is scheduled to announce its April-June quarter earnings for the financial year 2025-26 (Q1FY26) on Friday, July 25, 2025.
According to brokerages tracked by Business Standard, Cipla may see its average revenue increase by 5.6 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹7,071 crore as against ₹6,694 crore in the June quarter of FY25. Similarly, on a quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q) basis, the topline may grow by 5 per cent compared to ₹6,730 crore in Q4FY25.
The pharma major is expected to report an average profit after tax (PAT) of ₹1,208 crore for the June quarter, against ₹1,178 crore in Q1FY25, implying an increase of only 2.6 per cent Y-o-Y for Q1FY26.
On a quarterly basis, profits could fall by a marginal 1.12 per cent. The company reported a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹1,222 crore in the March quarter of FY25.
According to brokerage forecasts, the company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) is likely to slightly decrease by 1.3 per cent to ₹1,693 crore in Q1FY25 compared to ₹1,716 crore in the year-ago period. However, on a sequential basis, Ebidta may increase 10 per cent from ₹1,538 crore in the March 2025 quarter. Check List of Q1 results today
Here's what the brokerages expect from Cipla Q1FY26 results:
Kotak Institutional Equities
Despite a slightly modest season, analysts expect Cipla to report a 9 per cent Y-o-Y growth in domestic sales. However, US sales are likely to come in at $221 million, due to slightly higher Lanreotide sales, partially offset by a marginal Quarter-over-Quarter decline in inhaler sales.
Kotak also expects strong growth of 16 per cent Y-o-Y in One Africa sales, with South Africa reporting a 15 per cent Y-o-Y growth during the quarter.
"In addition, we expect 11 per cent Y-o-Y growth in European Union/Rest of the World sales. Overall, we expect Cipla's Q1FY26 sales to grow 5 per cent Y-o-Y and 5 per cent Q-o-Q," the brokerage said.
Motilal Oswal Financial Services
The brokerage expects Cipla's US sales to decline 13 per cent Y-o-Y to $219 million for the quarter under review, driven by reduced price of g-Revlimid and limited approvals in Q1FY25. In addition, dosage form (DF) sales are likely to witness moderate growth of 8 per cent Y-o-Y due to weakness in respiratory and anti-diabetes therapies.
Analysts are awaiting progress on regulatory measures at the Indore site, an update on the launch of Nilotinib capsules, and the filing of differentiated products with developed markets.
Choice Institutional Equities
Analysts at Choice Institutional Equities forecast 7.8 per cent Y-o-Y revenue growth, on the back of strong traction in One Africa and moderate growth across other regions. The brokerage expects Ebitda to remain flat due to higher research & development (R&D) spends, with margins contracting 163 bps Y-o-Y. However, PAT is expected to grow 3.7 per cent Y-o-Y.
Key monitorables to watch include the management commentary on new biosimilar launches and the anticipated Advair launch.

Can US, EU actually reach a trade deal? Trump says there's '50/50 chance or maybe less'
Brussels and Washington are reportedly nearing a potential agreement that could involve a 15 per cent US tariff on EU goods, with possible exemptions for key sectors read more US President Donald Trump sips Diet Coke from his wine glass after a toast, during a luncheon for world leaders at the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, US, September 25, 2018. File Image/Reuters US President Donald Trump on Friday (July 25) stated there was roughly a '50/50 chance, maybe less' of reaching an agreement with the European Union to lower import tariffs, as he spoke to reporters before departing the White House for Scotland. Trump, aiming to reduce US trade deficits, has threatened punitive tariff increases on numerous countries unless they secure trade deals with Washington by August 1. '90 deals in 90 days' His administration launched a '90 deals in 90 days' initiative in April, postponing higher duties, but has so far announced only five agreements, including with Britain, Japan, and the Philippines. 'I would say that we have a 50/50 chance, maybe less than that, but a 50/50 chance of making a deal with the EU,' Trump remarked. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The EU's 27 member states have tasked the European Commission with negotiating to avoid steep US tariffs, with Trump warning of 30 per cent levies if no deal is reached by the end of the month. According to multiple diplomats, Brussels and Washington are nearing a potential agreement that could involve a 15 per cent US tariff on EU goods, with possible exemptions for key sectors. EU readies retaliatory sanctions package However, on Thursday, EU states approved a retaliatory package targeting $109 billion (93 billion euros) of US goods, set to take effect on August 7 if negotiations fail. Trump claimed that most of the trade deals he sought were nearly finalised, though he clarified that his focus was on sending letters to impose tariffs on trading partners, not on negotiating comprehensive free trade agreements. He noted that tariffs, paid by importers rather than the exporting country, effectively act as a sales tax passed on to US consumers. 'I don't want to hurt countries, but we're going to send a letter out some time during the week, and it's basically going to say, 'You're going to pay 10 percent, you're going to pay 15 percent, you're going to pay maybe less,' I don't know,' Trump explained. He added that his negotiators were working 'diligently' with EU counterparts but expressed frustration with Canada, threatening a 35 per cent tariff and stating, 'we haven't really had a lot of luck' in those talks. Trump also mentioned that the US and China, its third-largest goods trading partner this year, have the 'confines of a deal' in place. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

India-US trade deal will be a game changer for investors: Arvind Panagariya
The proposed trade agreement between India and the United States could be a major breakthrough for India's investment climate, said Arvind Panagariya, chairman of the 16th Finance Commission. The deal, currently under negotiation, is expected to significantly liberalise India's trade regime and enhance the country's attractiveness for global investors, he said. 'This will be a big shot in the arm,' Panagariya stated during an interaction hosted at the Consulate General of India in New York this week. Agreement with EU likely to follow US deal Panagariya expressed optimism that the India-EU trade agreement would follow closely on the heels of the US deal. 'Once the India-US trade deal happens, the one with the European Union will also fall into place conveniently,' he said. 'These are the two largest markets. For any future investor, having open access to both will make India an extremely attractive destination.' The economist emphasised that reduced trade friction with the US and the EU would be a game changer, significantly lowering barriers for foreign companies looking to invest in or trade with India. Tariff cuts and liberalisation on the cards Regarding tariffs, Panagariya noted that the agreement would likely involve India lowering some of its duties. 'Potentially, a lot of good can come out of it. India will be reducing its tariffs as part of the process, which in itself is a tremendous opportunity,' he said. Panagariya said the most significant outcome of the trade deal would be domestic liberalisation. Improved access to the US market over competing nations would also be a major advantage. Trump administration signals deal is close US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that a trade agreement with India is imminent. As recently as last week, he remarked, 'We're very close to a deal with India, where they open it up.' He has reportedly set August 1 as a deadline for several countries, including India, to finalise trade agreements or face increased tariffs. Trade figures and future targets According to the latest figures, total goods trade between the US and India stood at $129.2 billion in 2024. US goods exports to India reached $41.8 billion, marking a rise of 3.4 per cent ($1.4 billion) from 2023. Meanwhile, goods imports from India totalled $87.4 billion, up 4.5 per cent ($3.7 billion) from the previous year. The resulting trade deficit stood at $45.7 billion. India and the US have also announced a new ambition, dubbed 'Mission 500,' which aims to more than double the bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. (With inputs from PTI, agencies)

The scope of these sanctions is limited to EU territories, citizens, and organisations. India on its part continues to reject unilateral sanctions imposed by other nations. (AI image) EU's sanctions on Russia oil have hit an Indian branch of a UAE-based firm. Intershipping Services Hub Private Ltd, an Indian subsidiary of a UAE-based company, has been hit with sanctions from the European Union. The EU has also imposed sanctions on Captain Abhinav Kamal, who commands the crude oil tanker Argent, according to an ET report. The European Union has levelled allegations against Kamal for giving material, technical and monetary assistance to operations involving vessels that transport crude oil or petroleum products connected to Russia. According to industry observers, Kamal is the only Indian national to face EU sanctions related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The firm faces accusations of sheltering vessels involved in Russian trade operations.

The restrictions prevent Kamal from accessing or offering services to vessels with EU associations.

How EU Sanctions Are Hitting Meanwhile, the European Union's recent sanctions against Russian oil have started affecting operations at an Indian refinery. Following the EU's targeted sanctions, both oil firms and shipping companies are now avoiding business dealings with Nayara Energy Ltd. Industry sources told Bloomberg that shipping operators have shown reluctance to work with Nayara, both for product exports and crude oil imports. The Indian refinery has a significant Russian ownership, with Rosneft PJSC holding a 49.13% ownership stake. Bloomberg's vessel tracking data showed that a ship named Talara abandoned its planned stop and left Vadinar port last Sunday. Industry sources indicate the vessel was meant to collect a diesel cargo from Nayara. The collection was subsequently cancelled after last week's sanctions were announced, leaving the shipment stranded at the port.
