Shares lifted 3.5% to ₹1,820 after Sun Pharma disclosed Q2 revenue of ₹16,198.7 crore, eclipsing the ₹15,766.1 crore consensus on the BSE/NSE.
EBITDA rose to ₹4,743 crore, up from ₹4,527 crore last year, pushing margin to 29.3% versus 31.3% y/y and 27.9% market, per the filing.
Net profit hit ₹1,988.5 crore, a 36% drop from the ₹3,085 crore consensus and 36% lower than the same quarter last year, largely due to a ₹1,270 crore exceptional loss on legal and acquisition fees, as disclosed by the management.

Management warns that acquisition‑related costs will recur, but robust API sales of ₹488.9 crore and margin expansion suggest resilience. Investors await Q3 guidance slated for May, with analysts monitoring the impact of the Organon deal.
