Stocktwits - Torrent Pharmaceuticals (NSE:TORP) posted a steady set of numbers in the fourth quarter, reinforcing confidence in its growth trajectory and catching the attention of SEBI-registered analyst Lalit Mundhra, who believes the stock could be gearing up for its next bullish move.
For the March quarter, Torrent Pharma reported a 10.9% year-on-year rise in net profit to ₹498 crore, while revenue grew 7.8% to ₹2,959 crore.
The company’s EBITDA came in at ₹964 crore, up 9.2% YoY, with margins improving slightly to 32.6% from 32.2% a year ago.
During the post-earnings call, the company guided for double-digit revenue growth of 10–12%, exceeding industry growth estimates by 2–3 percentage points.
From a technical standpoint, Mundhra noted that the stock had entered a tight consolidation range between ₹3,240 and ₹3,360, following a strong uptrend from its March lows.
This sideways movement formed a rectangle pattern, which typically precedes a continuation of the prevailing trend.
The stock’s ability to hold above key Fibonacci retracement levels—particularly the 38.2% level at ₹3,179—has been viewed as a sign of underlying strength.
A bullish engulfing candle near ₹3,179, accompanied by a notable spike in trading volumes, suggests buyers are stepping in at lower levels.
While the immediate resistance remains at ₹3,360, Mundhra believes a decisive breakout above this level could signal the start of the next upward leg.
Conversely, a breakdown below ₹3,067 could indicate trend exhaustion and trigger selling pressure.
With strong earnings support and improving technical indicators, Torrent Pharma remains a stock to watch for traders and investors looking for breakout opportunities in the pharma space.
