Shares of medical devices company Poly Medicure are finding strong buying interest, rising over 10% in trade after healthy third quarter results and a confident growth guidance.
The company has projected an over 20% revenue growth for the next 2-3 years, the management has said. Poly Medicure also guided for the margin to improve by 100-120 bps on a full year basis.

The company had raised funds through a QIP in August 2024, which it had said were intended for acquisition opportunities. The management has been on the lookout for an inorganic growth opportunity worth around Rs 500 crore.
Despite a strong export pipeline, India remains an important market for Poly Medicure, and the domestic business is seen growing at over 20% for the fiscal. The company also plans to commercialize its latest Drug Eluting Stent as early as this week, after having received the regulatory approval during the December quarter.
The management has also signed a JV for a 9.9 MW solar power plant in Haryana, which will be operationalized by September 2025, and is in line with the target of lower carbon footprint. The European market is showing the promise of a healthy close to 28% growth for the fiscal, Poly Medicure said.
