Their results depend on approvals, customer programmes and plant utilisation. This list looks at three of them, Strides Pharma Science, Anthem Biosciences and Concord Biotech, using reported FY22 to FY26 financials and the 20 October 2026 closing prices.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_biotech_and_generics_stocks_are_covered_in_this_list\"><\/span><strong>Which biotech and generics stocks are covered in this list?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> This list covers Strides Pharma Science, Anthem Biosciences and Concord Biotech. Based on the 20 October 2026 close, Strides Pharma Science traded at Rs 1,029.3, Anthem Biosciences at Rs 808.5 and Concord Biotech at Rs 1,285.8. Their return on equity ranges from 12.9% to 19.4%, and their revenue compound annual growth from FY22 to FY26 ranges from 10.7% to 15.5%.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_biotech_and_generics_stocks_have_a_strong_future_roadmap_in_India\"><\/span><strong>Why do biotech and generics stocks have a strong future roadmap in India?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Biotech and generics stocks have a strong roadmap in India because global drug makers are widening their use of Indian partners for complex ingredients, research services and affordable generics. The main drivers are as follows. Complex manufacturing. Fermentation and biotech processes need skills that few suppliers have. Outsourcing trend. Drug developers hand more research and production work to specialist partners. Generic demand. Healthcare systems rely on generics to widen access to treatment. Together these factors give the companies on this list a visible path for growth over the coming years.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_has_Strides_Pharma_Science_performed_financially\"><\/span><strong>How has Strides Pharma Science performed financially?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Revenue rose from Rs 3,202 crore in FY22 to Rs 5,009 crore in FY26, a compound annual growth rate of 11.8%. Net profit grew from Rs 409 crore in FY25 to Rs 575 crore in FY26, a rise of 40.3%.
