Hero MotoCorp delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with record revenue of ₹12,797 crore (+29% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹1,856 crore (+31% YoY), driven by robust volume growth across scooters (+48%), EVs (2.5x), and exports (+41%). The ICE business EBITDA margin expanded 100bps to 17%, though overall margin was 14.5% after EV investments of ₹220 crore. Management guided for high single-digit industry growth in FY27 and expects to outgrow the market, supported by capacity expansions (scooter capacity doubling, EV capacity doubling by year-end) and new product launches. Key risks include commodity cost inflation (aluminium, steel, rubber) which is only partially offset by ~2% price hikes, and potential demand impact from West Asia tensions. The medium-term margin guidance of 14-16% remains, but near-term transitory margin pressure is expected.
