From STAR's Q1 FY27 earnings-call transcript · updated 8 Sept 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Moderate growth
  • Strides aims to grow its U.S. business from USD 285 million to USD 375 million by FY28, driven by five levers including OTC business, controlled substances, new product launches, specialty channels, and new partnerships.
  • Controlled substances are expected to contribute significantly to growth following completion of past sales history demonstration (1.5 years demonstrated), with higher quota allocations anticipated from next cycles.
  • Approximately 10 product launches are planned by March next year, focusing on higher-revenue potential products (USD 10-15 million each).
  • Beyond FY28, growth is expected to be driven by advancements in three key domains—nasal sprays, transdermal patches, and thin films—with multiple filings and launches planned over next 12-18 months.
