The full read
Indoco reported ₹65 cr profit for June. That comes entirely from the ophthalmic sale — core operations are in the red. EBITDA margin is just 10.3%, and consolidated debt stands at ₹960 cr, nearly half the company's market capitalisation of ₹2,138 cr. The auditor's review flags FPP Holding's negative net worth of ₹38 cr as a material going concern uncertainty. A red flag. The ophthalmic sale provides cash, but the core business needs to generate profits to service that debt.
