Quarterly Insights and Market Trends
Reflecting on the first half of FY25, earnings growth was relatively modest. However, the third quarter surprised many, showcasing a 11.5% increase in profit after tax (PAT), largely fueled by the financial services and healthcare sectors. According to an analysis from Anand Rathi, achieving the anticipated 10% earnings growth for FY25 necessitates around 14% growth in the remaining quarters. Looking ahead, there’s optimism for Nifty50 earnings driven by increased government spending and a recovery in agricultural output, benefiting from favorable conditions for the kharif and rabi seasons.
A Bright Future Amid Challenges
Despite some short-term uncertainties, the foundation of the economy appears sturdy. With solid macroeconomic indicators, a consistent earnings trajectory, and attractive valuations, experts maintain a positive outlook for the medium to long term.
Company Highlights: Coforge and Mahindra & Mahindra
Coforge reported revenue growth of 3.4% quarter-over-quarter and an impressive 43.8% year-over-year in constant currency terms for Q4 FY25, although it fell short of expectations. The company’s performance was primarily driven by its BFS sector and engineering divisions. Notably, deal wins reached $2.126 billion, bolstering its order book significantly.
On the other hand, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) delivered strong results, with a standalone EBITDA margin of 14.9%. The automotive segment, including its electric SUV manufacturing, posted an EBIT margin of 9.2%. Analysts from Elara Securities noted that M&M’s financials for electric SUVs were positively influenced by a favorable mix of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The company anticipates robust growth across its utility vehicle portfolio and steady progress in the tractor segment.
