Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Popular Vehicles and Services shared its Q1 FY26 investor presentation. Total income rose 1.3% YoY to Rs 1,316 Cr but fell 4.4% QoQ due to a seasonally weak quarter. EBITDA dropped 26% YoY to Rs 38 Cr, though margin improved to 2.9% from 2.2% in Q4 FY25 on cost-control and discount discipline. The company slipped into a Rs 8.8 Cr loss versus a Rs 5.4 Cr profit a year ago. Service revenue grew 4.5% YoY, luxury and EV (2-wheeler) portfolios posted strong gains, while non-luxury PV volumes remained pressured. Management announced network expansion into Punjab with BharatBenz (~Rs 12 Cr investment) and new Ather dealerships in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu (~Rs 2 Cr). CRISIL reaffirmed A/Stable ratings on bank facilities.
Margin recovery QoQ and continued expansion into EV and new geographies offer some positives, but YoY profit decline and weak non-luxury PV demand suggest near-term earnings pressure. Stock may remain range-bound until demand recovery in compact cars materializes.
