HESTERBIO Stock Summary · February 2026
In Q3 FY26, the company demonstrated resilience with a 12% revenue growth, primarily driven by a robust 32% increase in its Poultry Healthcare division, despite facing a 5% revenue decline over the first nine months. Operational efficiency initiatives and strategic investments are expected to sustain profitability, even as the Animal Healthcare division grapples with a 38% drop due to delays in immunization programs. The recent regulatory approval for the H9N2 Avian Influenza vaccine enhances market opportunities, particularly in poultry and petcare, where growth potential remains strong. Management's focus on long-term innovation and direct sales strategies aims to mitigate seasonal fluctuations and reduce reliance on tender-based revenues, positioning the company for future success.
