Cummins India Q3 Result Preview: Standalone profit, EBITDA to decline; revenue to rise 4.6%
On the margin front, analysts expect a decline of 200 basis points (bps) to 17 per cent against 19 per cent in the year-ago period.
Cummins India is expected to report mixed numbers for the third quarter of the ongoing fiscal year (Q3 FY24), as per Zee Business analysts. The company will announce its Q3 results on Wednesday, February 7.
Analysts estimate the standalone net profit to decline 3 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 350 crore against Rs 360 crore logged in the corresponding quarter of the previous year owing to an increase in employee costs.
Meanwhile, the revenue is estimated to grow 4.6 per cent YoY to Rs 2,280 crore against Rs 2,180.5 crore a year ago. Furthermore, analysts peg the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) at Rs 385 crore for the quarter that ended December 31 against Rs 412 crore recorded a year ago, which implies a 7 per cent decline.
On the margin front, analysts expect a decline of 200 basis points (bps) to 17 per cent against 19 per cent in the year-ago period.
Normal demand is anticipated in the domestic power generation business, with a 5-7 per cent increase in income. Export business is likely to plunge due to the slowdown in Europe, China, and the Middle East.
