Commenting on the performance, Strides Pharma Science MD & Group CEO Badree Komandur said the company continued to deliver strong performance across profitability, efficiency, and growth metrics during FY26, primarily driven by the Ex-US markets, "Our calibrated strategy in Ex-US markets is delivering results, with these markets outpacing overall company growth. The US business remained stable during the year, though impacted by a weaker flu season in the second half," he added.
Komandur further said,"Despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and a challenging external environment, we are committed to delivering long-term sustainable and profitable growth." The board of directors has recommended a final dividend of Rs 5 per equity share of Rs 10 each, at the rate of 50 per cent, for FY26, the company said.
