Park Medi World shares slide as quarterly profit falls nearly 30%

what happened

Shares of Park Medi World fell as much as 8% on Friday after the hospital operator reported a weaker September quarter, according to Moody's. Net profit came in at 52 crore rupees, down 29.7% from 74 crore a year earlier, while EBITDA slid 9.5% to 101.8 crore rupees.

Revenue rose 24.6% to 511 crore rupees, which the company called its highest three-month revenue ever. The margin told a different story: EBITDA margin shrank by 740 basis points to 20%, as newly opened facilities are still ramping up. Patient volume also set a record at 2.90 lakh.

Management said 680 beds were added in the first half of the fiscal year, lifting total capacity to 4,290, and that occupancy at the new sites has lagged so far. Another 1,430 beds are planned for FY27, roughly 40% above the FY26 closing capacity. Cash of 371 crore rupees against term debt of 177 crore gives the company room to fund that growth.

why it matters

For investors, the key question is how fast the new capacity turns into occupancy and operating profit. The stock is still up 58.3% so far in 2026, though it has gained only 1% over the past month and fallen 4% over six months.
