Shares of Escorts Kubota surged over 4% in early trade on February 1, tracking strong operational performance reported for January 2026. The stock was trading around Rs 3,440, up nearly Rs 148, as investors reacted positively to a sharp rise in tractor volumes.
The company reported 46.9% year-on-year growth in tractor sales for January, with total volumes rising to 9,799 units compared with 6,669 units in the same month last year. Domestic tractor sales jumped 50.8%, while exports grew 8.3%, reflecting improving rural demand, better rabi crop activity, and supportive government measures.
Market participants also took comfort from Escorts Kubota’s commentary pointing to positive rural sentiment, improved water availability, and continued policy support, which are expected to aid tractor demand in the coming months. Although the construction equipment segment saw a marginal decline, the strong performance in the core agri machinery business helped lift overall sentiment around the stock.
The sharp move in Escorts Kubota shares comes amid heightened volatility in broader commodity and metal-linked stocks on Budget Day, making company-specific growth triggers stand out for investors.
