Bajaj Auto Q1 preview
As per Zee Business research, the automotive company is likely to post a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 1,620 crore against Rs 1,173 crore registered in the previous quarter, up 38.1 per cent. The company's revenue for the quarter ending June 30 is expected at Rs 10,450 crore, a 30.5 per cent increase as compared to Rs 8,005 crore in the 2023 March quarter.
The earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation, or EBITDA, are expected to come in at Rs 1,920 crore, compared to Rs 1,297 crore seen in the previous quarter, up 48 per cent. The company's margin, a key measure of profitability for a business, may rise by 220 basis points (bps) to 18.4 per cent QoQ against 16.2 per cent in Q4FY23, which is expected to expand on lower input costs and improved operating performance.
The research desk further sees volume growth of 10 per cent to 10.27 lakh units in Q1 FY24. The realisations are estimated to increase by 19.6 per cent to 1.02 lakh per unit.
According to research, domestic two-wheeler demand shows a recovery, but two-wheeler exports are yet to recover. Further, electric two-wheeler sales may be impacted due to a reduction in subsidies in June.
Investors should keep an eye on updates related to Triumph Speed 400 bookings, the impact of the electric two-wheeler subsidy cut, and the timeline of new launches.
