Eicher Motors Posts Strong Q4 Results
Eicher Motors reported a robust Q4 FY26 with consolidated net profit up 21% to Rs 1,420 crore and revenue from operations climbing 23% to Rs 6,114 crore. Demand for its two-wheeler segment, especially Royal Enfield, drove this performance. The company's P/E ratio of approximately 37.63 is above the industry average, reflecting its strong growth and premium valuation. Eicher Motors has a market capitalization of about Rs 1.89 trillion as of May 20, 2026.
Hindalco's Profit Dips Despite Revenue Rise
Hindalco Industries reported a 45% year-on-year drop in consolidated net profit for Q3 FY26 to Rs 2,049 crore, even as operational revenue grew 14% to Rs 66,521 crore. For Q4 FY26, results announced May 22, revenue is expected to rise 16% year-on-year to Rs 64,890 crore, with a net profit of Rs 5,283 crore, a 66.4% year-on-year increase. This expected profit rebound is partly due to its subsidiary Novelis, though Novelis posted a $84 million net loss in Q4 FY26 from fire incidents at its Oswego plant. These fires hurt Novelis' North American operations and Adjusted EBITDA, but higher aluminum prices and European performance offered some offset. Hindalco's P/E ratio is around 14.71, slightly above the non-ferrous metals industry average of 13.39. Its market capitalization is approximately Rs 2.44 trillion as of May 20, 2026.
