The full read
Max Healthcare's Q4 earnings were in line with the board-meeting flash: revenue up 10% to ₹2,664 cr, EBITDA up 8% to ₹682 cr, PAT up 3% to ₹387 cr. The fresh news is what Max plans to do with the cash. The board approved a ₹1,400 cr greenfield hospital in Lucknow — the company's first foray into Uttar Pradesh's capital.

Max is sustaining its growth while making large forward bets. The market already had the headline numbers; now it has the expansion roadmap.
