By Tina Banerjee

  • Personnel expenses as % of sales surged to 49.3% in Q1FY25 from 44.6% in Q1FY24. The trend is expected to continue with the increase in staff and training cost.
  • Decelerating revenue growth, margin erosion, aggressive business expansion, and overhang related to improperly claimed medical service fee will limit the near-term upside potential for Amvis.
