Yatharth Hospital posts 24% profit rise and 52% revenue jump in Q2

what happened

Shares of the Indian hospital operator Yatharth Hospital and Trauma Care Services climbed roughly 6.5% after its second-quarter fiscal 2027 report, TradingView said. Net profit rose 24.4% year on year to 51 crore rupees, up from 41 crore a year earlier. Revenue grew 52.4% to 431.4 crore rupees from 283 crore.

EBITDA climbed 50% to 102 crore rupees, but the margin slipped to 23.5% from 24%. Sequentially, EBITDA rose 11% and the margin gained 30 basis points as newer hospitals reached profitability. The company said its adjusted margin, excluding the ramp-up effect of those hospitals, was 28%.

Hospitals acquired in Faridabad Sector-20 and Agra became EBITDA-positive in the first half of FY27, and the New Delhi facility is expected to break even in the second half. Acquired hospitals now account for 28% of group revenue. Earlier in September, the company agreed with Advent International on a primary investment of 3,150 crore rupees in exchange for equity shares and warrants. On Tuesday at 3:12 pm the stock traded 4.4% higher at 980.05 rupees, though it has fallen 4% over the past month and is up 46.8% year to date.

why it matters

The news concerns a single company, but strong revenue and profit growth backed by a large private equity investor will draw attention from investors in India's healthcare sector. The lower reported margin shows that profit growth has not been even across the business.
