Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) registered 20% year-on-year growth in auto volumes during the quarter, even as sales remained flat sequentially. Tractor volumes fell 4% over the year-ago quarter (amid weak demand), but grew 13% sequentially (aided by the seasonality factor). Analysts at IIFL Securities expect the company’s revenue share of tractors to increase from 24% in the September 2023 quarter to 26% in December. Overall revenue could grow 20% over the year-ago quarter and 6% sequentially.
Key sequential margin tailwinds include fall in precious metals and higher revenue share of tractors. On the other hand, key sequential margin headwinds include higher discounts and higher marketing spend. EBIT margin of the auto segment could come in at 7.4%, while that of tractors is seen at 16.5%. Overall EBITDA margin is pegged at 12.4%, down 59 basis points over the year-ago quarter and 20 basis points sequentially.
M&M’s Profit After Tax or PAT could grow 5% over the year ago quarter, but fall 26% sequentially.
