Ajanta Pharma reported a robust Q4 2026 with revenue growing 21.47% YoY to ₹1422 Cr and net profit up 18.4% YoY to ₹267 Cr. The company exhibits strong profitability with a ROCE of 32.0% and a profit margin of 19.37%. However, ML predictions flag significant potential free cash flow compression, with FCF forecasted to be negative by year 3.
