STAR HEALTH & AL INS CO L Quarterly Results (STARHEALTH) — Q2 FY27

Revenue trend and demand read-through

Topline for Q2 FY27 came in at ₹5,033 cr against ₹4,280 cr in Q2 FY26, and ₹5,285 cr in the preceding Q1 FY27 quarter.

On a sequential basis revenue declined -4.8%. Sequential moves are the quickest read on demand momentum because they strip out the base effect of a year-old quarter, though seasonality can distort a single quarter.

Total expenses for the quarter were ₹4,681 cr, or 93.0% of revenue, with operating profit grew +192.4% year on year.

Margins, tax and profitability

Net profit of ₹265 cr works out to a net margin of 5.3% compared with 1.9% in the year-ago quarter. Margin expansion of this kind usually reflects a better product or service mix, softer input costs, or tighter overheads.

Below the operating line, STAR HEALTH & AL INS CO L reported profit before tax of ₹352 cr, a tax charge of ₹86.83 cr (effective rate 24.7%), interest cost of ₹15.16 cr. Reading these together with operating profit shows how much of the quarter's earnings were driven by the core business versus financing and tax movements.

Sequentially, net profit moved from ₹550 cr in Q1 FY27 to ₹265 cr in Q2 FY27, a change of -51.8%.

Trailing twelve months and annual context

Across the trailing four quarters STAR HEALTH & AL INS CO L has generated revenue of ₹19,533 cr and net profit of ₹1,054 cr, a trailing net margin of 5.4%. The trailing view smooths out one-off quarters and is the number most valuation multiples are built on.

On a full-year basis, FY26 revenue was ₹18,148 cr with net profit of ₹557 cr and EPS of ₹9.47, versus the prior year where revenue grew +10.1% and profit declined -13.8%.

What to watch in the next STARHEALTH quarter

For the coming quarters the numbers worth tracking on this page are revenue momentum, the operating margin trend, the interest burden and whether EPS keeps pace with profit growth. A sustained run of year-on-year profit growth is what usually drives a re-rating rather than any single quarter.
