Bajaj Auto Q4 results analysts view
According to analysts at Motilal Oswal, Bajaj Auto reported Q4FY25 earnings of ₹2,050 crore, broadly in-line with expectations. Operating margins held steady Y-o-Y at 20.2 per cent, as gains from a favourable currency environment and an improved product mix were offset by the suspension of exports to KTM and increased promotional expenses.
While the recovery in exports and robust ramp-up in Chetak and three-wheeler (3W) segments are encouraging, analysts noted concerns persist over Bajaj Auto's declining market share in the domestic motorcycle market—particularly in the crucial 125cc+ segment.
Additionally, the rollout of its CNG motorcycle, Freedom, has been slower than anticipated.
The company recently acquired a controlling stake in KTM under favourable terms, but the success of this move will hinge on how swiftly it can revitalise KTM's operations—an important factor to watch going forward.
At approximately 26.9x/24x FY26E/FY27E earnings, the stock appears fairly valued. Motilal Oswal analysts maintained a 'Neutral' rating on Bajaj Auto, with a target price of ₹8,688, based on 24x FY27E core EPS.

Auto companies flag China's magnet supply risks
NEW DELHI: Raising an alarm over challenges in procuring rare earth magnets from China, the auto industry has told govt that the matter will lead to stoppage of production of certain models from this week, while heading to a complete shutdown by the middle of next month. China has put the export curbs on rare earth magnets to ensure they are not used for making defence and weapon systems. This threatens launch of many new models, apart from disturbing the entire value chain across passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, and commercial vehicles. Companies at risk of production disruptions include, Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra, Hyundai and Kia, Hero Moto, TVS, and Bajaj Auto. Over the past month, auto companies discussed the matter with various govt departments to get clarity regarding the process to be adopted for obtaining the EUC (end-use case). On suggestions of the ministry of external affairs (MEA), they also had a discussion with the embassy of China in India. However, there has been no solution so far. The rare earth magnets are used for components like speedometers, electric motors, e-axles, electric water pumps, automatic transmission kits, speakers, sensors, and ignition coils in engines. Companies say an elaborate approval process has to be followed before the magnets can be procured, and a final approval from China's ministry of commerce is also required. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Heavy industries minister H D Kumaraswamy on Monday said govt is preparing to send a delegation of industry executives to China in two-three weeks to discuss the issue.

Ola Electric sees 51% slowdown in electric 2W sales in May, drops to 3rd spot
Ola Electric saw a 51 per cent (year-on-year) slowdown in electric two-wheeler sales to 18,499 units in May, dropping to the third position behind rivals TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto. May saw a strong performance in the electric two-wheeler (E2W) segment, with retail sales reaching 100,266 units, according to the government's Vahan data. TVS Motor led with selling 24,560 units, registering a 107 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth and securing 24 per cent market share in May. Bajaj Auto clocked the sale of 21,770 units, registering a 135 per cent YoY growth and 22 per cent market share at the second position, the Vahan data showed. Bhavish Aggarwal-led Ola Electric registered an 18 per cent market share last month at the third spot. Ather Energy, which went public last month, sold 12,840 units and captured 13 per cent share of the market. Ola Electric's financial performance took a sharp beating in the fourth quarter (Q4) of FY25, as the electric vehicle maker reported a steep drop in revenue and a twofold increase in net losses on a year-on-year (YoY) basis. The company posted a net loss of Rs 870 crore for the January-March quarter (Q4), up from Rs 416 crore in the same quarter previous fiscal (Q4 FY24), according to its stock exchange filing. Revenue from operations fell significantly to Rs 611 crore in Q4 FY25, marking a 61.8 per cent decline from Rs 1,598 crore a year ago. This is one of the company's worst quarterly revenue performances since it began commercial deliveries of its electric two-wheelers in late 2021. The drop comes amid rising competition in the electric scooter market, regulatory uncertainty around government subsidies, and inventory correction across dealerships. For the full year FY25, Ola Electric's revenue also fell to Rs 4,645 crore, down from Rs 5,126 crore in FY24. Ather Energy also reported a net loss of Rs 234.40 crore in the fourth quarter of the last financial year (FY25), widened by 18.5 per cent from Rs 197.8 crore net loss in Q3 (quarter-on-quarter). Total expenses rose to Rs 922 crore in Q4, 8.7 per cent up on a quarterly basis and 12.6 per cent year-on-year. The company's revenue from operations went up 29 per cent to Rs 676 crore in Q4, from Rs 523.4 crore in the year-ago period.

Production could come to a halt by mid-July if China magnet curbs continue: Automakers
Representative Image (AI-generated) NEW DELHI: Raising an alarm over challenges in procuring rare earth magnets from China, the auto industry has told the govt that the matter will lead to the stoppage of production of certain models from this week, while heading to a complete shutdown by the middle of next month. This threatens the impending launch of many new models, apart from disturbing the entire value chain across passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, and commercial vehicles. Companies at risk of production disruptions include top makers such as Maruti Suzuki , Mahindra & Mahindra, Hyundai and Kia, Hero Moto, TVS, and Bajaj Auto. When asked how many weeks of inventory Maruti has before production would be impacted, the automaker said it submitted an import application and it would be difficult to give "very specific details" until it receives a response. "It is not a restriction. It is an endorsement of end use. In case there is an issue, we will inform all our stakeholders, including the stock exchange," Rahul Bharti, Senior Executive Director, Corporate Affairs, said. Bajaj Auto said late last week that the issue could have a "serious impact" on their EV production by July. The industry's warning comes even as delegations of industry body Siam (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers) as well as component makers ACMA (Automotive Component Manufacturers Association) plan to visit China 'at the earliest' to expedite permissions to procure the magnets used across automotive applications, both in internal combustion engines and electric vehicles. H eavy industries minister, HD Kumaraswamy, on Monday said the govt is preparing to send a delegation of industry executives to China in 2-3 weeks to discuss the issue.
