Early birds steady wings after a dip in Dec quarter

A cautiously hopeful tone prevails in the stock market as March quarter earnings trickle in.

MUMBAI: Initial earnings suggest that companies emerged from a demand contraction in the quarter, though the recovery remains muted.

This indicates that consumer spending is yet to pick up meaningfully, after a tepid third quarter. Extreme global uncertainty in the last three months depressed exports and hurt businesses, experts noted.

A Mint analysis of the first 184 companies that have declared their results shows only a 1.4% year-on-year increase in revenue. That fares marginally better than the 0.3% drop they reported in the December quarter. Sequentially, revenue rose around 8%, but on a low base.

"After a disappointing Q2 and Q3, our expectation for this quarter (Q4FY25) is so low that the actual numbers are looking either in line, or marginally better than what we expected," highlighted Nikhil Rungta, co-chief investment officer of equities at LIC MF.

Ignored Sarfaraz to not move up the batting order

Gearing up for a fresh Ranji season with an eye on bigger personal honours is what Sarfaraz Khan has done a lot of. Being constantly on the waiting list is also something he's learned to deal with. It may have led to frustration, but it never broke him. To lose favour after making it to the elite level can be deflating though and will test the resilience of the middle-order batter.
