Apollo Tyres reported strong Q4 FY26 results with consolidated revenue of INR 73.4 billion (up 14% YoY) and EBITDA margin of 14.6%, up from 13% in the same period last year. India Operations showed particularly strong performance with revenue of INR 52.4 billion and margins improving to 14.6% from 11.2% YoY. The balance sheet strengthened significantly with net debt to EBITDA improving to 0.4x from 3.2x in 2020. However, management flagged near-term margin pressure due to raw material costs rising in high teens sequentially, with natural rubber prices up from INR 200 to INR 250 per kg. They announced price hikes of 6-8% but indicated more increases would be needed to offset costs. Europe Operations reported revenue of EUR 170 million with the Enschede plant closure on track for June 30th, with EUR 43 million non-cash write-off taken. FY27 CapEx guidance is INR 35 billion with 80% for growth and capacity expansion.
Strong operational performance and deleveraging are positives, but near-term margin pressure from raw material inflation and the need for additional price hikes create uncertainty. The stock may face volatility as investors weigh robust demand against margin headwinds in the near term.
