Hero MotoCorp reported Q1 FY26 revenue of ₹9,579 crore and EBITDA of ₹1,382 crore, with an overall EBITDA margin of 14.4% (flat YoY). The ICE business margin improved to 16.8%, offset by EV investments of ₹189 crore. PAT stood at ₹1,126 crore, including a one-time gain of ₹722 crore from dilution in associates. Domestic Vahan market share recovered to 30.9% (up 1% sequentially), driven by entry segment gains (800 bps YoY share increase) and EV share hitting a record 7% (10% in July). The company launched the Vida VX2 with a battery-as-a-service model and plans new 125cc variants in Q2. Management expects industry growth of 6-7% for FY26, supported by favorable monsoons and festive demand, but near-term volumes were impacted by a production pause in April. Key risks include rare earth supply constraints and potential ABS regulation cost increases.
हीरो मोटोकॉर्प ने पहली तिमाही में 9,579 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई और 1,382 करोड़ रुपये का मुनाफा (EBITDA) दर्ज किया। मुनाफा मार्जिन 14.4% रहा, जो पिछले साल जितना ही है। पेट्रोल बाइक से मार्जिन 16.8% तक बढ़ा, लेकिन इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनों (EV) पर 189 करोड़ रुपये खर्च होने से यह कम हुआ। कुल मुनाफा (PAT) 1,126 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जिसमें 722 करोड़ रुपये का एकमुश्त फायदा शामिल है। बाजार हिस्सेदारी 30.9% हो गई, जो पिछली तिमाही से 1% ज्यादा है। EV की हिस्सेदारी 7% (जुलाई में 10%) तक पहुंच गई। कंपनी ने बैटरी-ए-सर्विस मॉडल वाली Vida VX2 लॉन्च की और जल्द नई 125cc बाइक लाएगी। अच्छी बारिश और त्योहारों से इस साल 6-7% ग्रोथ की उम्मीद है, लेकिन अप्रैल में उत्पादन रुकने से असर पड़ा। जोखिमों में दुर्लभ धातुओं की कमी और ABS नियमों से लागत बढ़ना शामिल है।
