Shares of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd dropped nearly 4% to the day’s low of ₹11,619 on Friday after the company reported weaker-than-expected financial results for the fourth quarter of FY25. The stock was trading at ₹11,656.00, down 2% or ₹238 compared to the previous close of ₹11,894.
The country’s largest carmaker posted a 4.3% year-on-year decline in net profit at ₹3,711 crore for the January-March 2025 quarter, compared to ₹3,879 crore in the same period last year. The profit miss was attributed to cost pressures and lower-than-expected operating margins.
Total revenue from operations, however, rose 6.4% YoY to ₹40,674 crore from ₹38,235 crore in Q4FY24, supported by higher volumes and better product mix.
EBITDA for the quarter declined 9% to ₹4,264 crore versus ₹4,685 crore a year ago, while EBITDA margin contracted sharply by 150 basis points to 10.5%, down from 12.3% in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.
As of the latest update, Maruti Suzuki’s market capitalisation stood at ₹3.67 lakh crore with a P/E ratio of 25.23 and a dividend yield of 1.07%.
Investors reacted negatively to the earnings disappointment, which fell short of Street estimates both on margin and profitability fronts.
