Bajaj Auto Shares Down 2%; Misses Double-Digit Revenue Growth

Shares of Bajaj Auto declined by 2.43% in the early session at ₹8,659 apiece on the National Stock Exchange. The decline came after the company fell short of achieving double-digit growth due to the temporary suspension of KTM exports.

The company posted a net profit of ₹2,049.31 crore in Q4FY25, up 5.85% YoY. Revenue from operations shot up by 5.77% YoY to ₹12,147.97 in the reported quarter. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) jumped by 6.2% to ₹2,450.6 crore in Q4 FY25, against ₹2,306 crore in the corresponding period a year ago.

Bajaj auto said, “Sequentially, better gross margin from favourable currency and cost reduction on the new Chetak platform. It took care of operating deleverage and higher discretionary spends, notably on brand investments and fixtures, among others.”

“Balance sheet remains healthy as the track record of strong cash generation was maintained and an estimated ₹6,500 crores of free cash flow added. Surplus funds stood at a robust ~₹17,000 crores after investing sufficiently behind capex and strategic bets in subsidiary companies, alongside ~₹2,200 crores returned to shareholders via dividends.”
