Hero MotoCorp delivered a strong Q3 FY24 with 20% revenue growth and 50% PAT growth, driven by premiumization, cost savings, and festive demand. ICE margins reached 16%, enabling reinvestment in EV and premium segments. The company launched Mavrick 440 and Xtreme 125R, with Harley X440 bookings exceeding 30,000. Management expects double-digit industry revenue growth in FY25 and aims to outpace it via new products and network expansion (400+ Hero 2.0 stores by March). EV losses of ~200bps in Q3 are seen as strategic investment; three new EV models at distinct price points are planned for Q1 FY25. Key risk: sustained price wars in EV could pressure margins if cost reduction targets slip.
हीरो मोटोकॉर्प ने तीसरी तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई में 20% और मुनाफे में 50% का उछाल आया। इसकी वजह महंगे मॉडलों की बिक्री, लागत बचत और त्योहारी मांग रही। पेट्रोल वाहनों पर मुनाफा 16% रहा, जिससे कंपनी इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनों (EV) और महंगे सेगमेंट में निवेश कर पाई। नए मॉडल मैवरिक 440 और एक्सट्रीम 125R लॉन्च हुए, और हार्ले X440 की 30,000 से ज्यादा बुकिंग हुई। कंपनी को अगले साल उद्योग की दोगुनी दर से बढ़ने की उम्मीद है। EV में घाटा (2%) को रणनीतिक निवेश माना जा रहा है। अगली तिमाही में तीन नए EV मॉडल अलग-अलग कीमतों पर आएंगे। मुख्य जोखिम: EV में कीमतों की होड़ से मुनाफा कम हो सकता है।
