(Reuters) -India’s Apollo Hospitals reported a smaller-than-expected second-quarter profit on Thursday due to higher costs.
The company’s consolidated net profit rose to 4.77 billion rupees ($54.3 million) for the July-September quarter, from 3.79 billion rupees.
That was below analysts’ average estimates of 4.87 billion rupees, per data compiled by LSEG.
