Friday, November 7: Shares of Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Ltd. fell 1.2% to Rs 977 in Friday’s trade after the company’s September-quarter results showed a decline in operating performance despite a rise in revenue and profit.

The automotive battery maker reported a 17.36% year-on-year increase in net profit to Rs 276.49 crore for the quarter ended September 2025, compared with Rs 235.6 crore in the same period last year. Revenue from operations grew 6.7% year-on-year to Rs 3,467 crore from Rs 3,250.7 crore.

However, investor sentiment turned cautious as the company’s EBITDA fell 13.6% year-on-year to Rs 374.31 crore, compared with Rs 433.04 crore a year ago. The EBITDA margin slipped to 10.8%, from 13.3% in the corresponding quarter, reflecting cost pressures and weaker operational efficiency.

The company’s board also announced an interim dividend of Rs 5.40 per equity share, or 540% of the face value, payable on or before December 5, 2025.

At 9:24 a.m. IST, Amara Raja shares were trading at Rs 977, down Rs 12.20 from the previous close of Rs 989.20 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

The decline was primarily attributed to the fall in EBITDA and margins, which overshadowed the company’s overall revenue and profit growth for the quarter.
