M&M reported a strong Q1 FY25 with consolidated PAT up 20% YoY to INR 3,283 crore (excluding one-time gains). Auto and Farm segments drove performance: SUV market share gained 130bps, LCV 160bps, and tractors 180bps. Auto PAT rose 35% and Farm PAT 4% despite a tough market. Auto margins expanded 180bps to 9.5%, and tractor core margins reached 19.7%. Mahindra Finance PAT grew 37% to INR 497 crore, aided by lower credit costs. Management maintained mid-to-high teens SUV growth guidance for FY25, supported by new launches (Thar 5-door, 3XO) and capacity expansion. Risks include potential demand slowdown from tepid industry buoyancy and commodity price volatility (rubber).
