CEAT Limited announced Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) results. Standalone revenue from operations grew about 11% year-on-year to Rs. 3,520.7 crore, but profit after tax fell roughly 9% to Rs. 135.35 crore versus Rs. 149.24 crore in Q1 FY25, with EPS at Rs. 33.46 (vs Rs. 36.89). EBITDA margin compressed to 11.11% from 12.04% a year ago, reflecting higher raw material and finance costs. Exceptional items of Rs. 3.29 crore were booked toward a Voluntary Retirement Scheme. Consolidated PAT dropped more sharply (Rs. 112.3 crore vs Rs. 154.2 crore) due to a loss from joint ventures. Separately, the board re-appointed Mr. Arnab Banerjee as Managing Director & CEO for another two years starting April 1, 2026, and approved a Rs. 450 crore capex to add about 35% capacity in passenger car/SUV tyres at its Chennai plant, to be commissioned by end of FY27, funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt.
Revenue growth is encouraging but shrinking margins and a decline in profits may pressure the stock in the near term. The Rs. 450 crore capacity expansion signals management's confidence in medium-term PCUV demand, though the use of debt could keep leverage metrics elevated; CEO continuity is a positive for execution stability.
