    Financials
    For the quarter ended 30-06-2022, the company reported a Consolidated Total Income of Rs 2699.39 Crore, down -1.83 % from last quarter Total Income of Rs 2749.77 Crore and up 13.44 % from last year same quarter Total Income of Rs 2379.63 Crore. Company reported net profit after tax of Rs 80.16 Crore in latest quarter.

    Investment Rationale
    Aster DM’s reported revenues, in a seasonally lean 1Q, beat estimates by 12% (partly due to currency tailwinds) with a margin miss on account of post-Covid normalisation and new hospital losses. Although management expects 2Q to be the strongest for India business, 2H typically is 60% of full year EBITDA implying sequential improvement in margins hereon. While timelines for GCC restructuring remain elusive, any decision on the same is unlikely this year. Aster DM’s strategic India focus with consistent India outperformance can drive consensus upgrades thereby re-rating the stock.
