Shares of JK Tyre & Industries dropped 3% in early trade on Wednesday after the company reported a sharp decline in its Q4 FY25 earnings. As of 9:22 AM, the shares were trading 2.66% lower at Rs 338.65.
The tyre maker posted a 42.7% year-on-year fall in consolidated net profit, which slipped to ₹97 crore from ₹169.3 crore in the same quarter last year.
Despite modest growth in revenue, profitability was impacted by narrowing margins and rising input costs. Revenue from operations rose 1.6% YoY to ₹3,758.6 crore, compared to ₹3,698.5 crore in Q4 FY24.
The company’s operating performance saw significant pressure. EBITDA fell 24.6% to ₹363 crore from ₹481.2 crore a year ago, while EBITDA margin contracted to 9.7% from 13% last year. The decline in margins reflects the impact of higher raw material costs and pricing pressures in a competitive market.
JK Tyre opened at ₹340.00 today, hitting a high of ₹343.45 and a low of ₹335.50 during intraday trading. The stock remains volatile, trading well below its 52-week high of ₹511.00, yet significantly above its 52-week low of ₹243.00.
