M&M stock races ahead on strong Q4 results, healthy outlook
Business Standard|May 18, 2024
Mahindra (M&M) reported very strong results for the January-March quarter of the last financial year (Q4FY24), beating consensus comfortably.

The margins of the automobile business improved 170 basis points (bps) year-on-year (Y-oY) to 8.8 per cent, while FES (Farm Equipment Sector) margins improved to 15.8 per cent (up 60 bps Y-o-Y), despite a decline in volumes due to cost optimisation and lower raw material costs.

The market valuation of M&M hit the ₹3.12 trillion mark for the first time on Friday, as the company's shares touched a 52-week high on the bourses. There is a strong demand momentum for utility vehicles (UVS) and hopes for a revival in tractor demand will be the key growth drivers during FY24-26.

The Q4FY24 revenue and Ebitda and adjusted profit after tax (PAT) grew 11 per cent, 16 per cent and 3 per cent Y-o-Y, respectively to ₹25,110 crore, ₹3,240 crore and ₹2,040 crore. The FY24 revenue, Ebitda and adjusted PAT grew 16 per cent, 24 per cent and 35 per cent Y-0Y, respectively.
