Bajaj Auto has witnessed 24% growth in its sales volume over the year-ago quarter (albeit on a low base). On a sequential basis though, sales volume declined 11% owing to the festive season in Q3. Analysts at IIFL Securities expect the company’s average selling price to improve both sequentially as well as over the year-ago quarter. Overall, revenue growth is pegged at 28.4% over the year-ago quarter even though sequentially revenue could decline 5.6%.
The company’s EBITDA margin could inch up 73 basis points over the year-ago quarter and decline 6 basis points sequentially. Sequential margin performance is likely to be aided by a favorable mix of products sold and easing costs of key raw materials (steel, precious metals). On the flip side, negative operating leverage is likely to be a key pressure on margins as compared to Q3.
Bajaj Auto’s Profit After Tax or PAT could grow 34% over the year-ago quarter and decline 6% sequentially.
