Escorts Kubota reported a strong Q4 FY26 with revenue of INR 2,950.7 crore (+21.4% YoY) and EBITDA margin expansion of 103 bps to 13.1%, driven by operating leverage and cost control. Tractor volumes hit a record 133,670 units for the full year, though Q4 market share was impacted by regional demand variation and new model availability. Management guides for a flattish tractor industry in FY27 (2-3% growth or decline), with H2 likely negative due to high base, subnormal monsoon forecasts, and rising input costs. Construction equipment saw a Q4 volume recovery (+9% YoY) and margin improvement. Key risks include commodity inflation (5-6% of revenue impact expected), potential supply chain disruptions from geopolitical tensions, and El Niño effects on rural sentiment.
एस्कॉर्ट्स कुबोटा ने वित्त वर्ष 2026 की चौथी तिमाही में मजबूत प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई 2,950.7 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 21.4% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा बढ़ाने की क्षमता (EBITDA मार्जिन) 1.03% सुधरकर 13.1% हो गई, जिसकी वजह बेहतर परिचालन और खर्चों पर नियंत्रण है। पूरे साल ट्रैक्टर की बिक्री 1,33,670 यूनिट रही, जो अब तक की सबसे ज्यादा है। हालांकि, चौथी तिमाही में बाजार हिस्सेदारी पर क्षेत्रीय मांग और नए मॉडलों की उपलब्धता का असर पड़ा। कंपनी का अनुमान है कि अगले वित्त वर्ष में ट्रैक्टर उद्योग में 2-3% की बढ़त या गिरावट हो सकती है। दूसरी छमाही में मांग कमजोर रहने की आशंका है, क्योंकि पिछले साल का आधार ऊंचा है, मानसून कमजोर रह सकता है और कच्चे माल की लागत बढ़ रही है। निर्माण उपकरणों की बिक्री में चौथी तिमाही में 9% का सुधार हुआ और मुनाफा बढ़ा। मुख्य जोखिमों में कच्चे माल की महंगाई (जिससे 5-6% तक असर पड़ सकता है), भू-राजनीतिक तनावों से आपूर्ति में रु
