Earnings growth slows amid weak demand
The weakness in consumption and demand is evident in the earnings performance of the Nifty 100 index, with 95 out of 100 companies reporting an aggregate consolidated net profit growth of just 12.7% year-on-year. While the performance appears better when compared to the December 2024 quarter, with 10.9% growth, there is a marked decline compared to the 23.5% growth in the March 2024 quarter.
The metals sector, particularly steel companies, delivered strong performance driven by lower raw material costs and a seasonal rise in demand from the construction industry. In contrast, the construction materials (cement) sector faced headwinds from both demand and rising costs. However, the sector's overall growth was supported by solid earnings from
Grasim
and
UltraTech Cement
.
The banking sector's performance was dragged down by
IndusInd Bank
, which reported a consolidated net loss amid higher provisions and lower interest income. The financials sector reported a modest performance, aided by healthy growth in disbursements.
The IT sector continues to see challenges amid global uncertainties. The sector is seeing stress in multiple verticals, including manufacturing, automotive, retail, and logistics.

and
HDFC Bank
reported the highest year-on-year growth in the consolidated net profits of 432%, 15.7% and 6.9% respectively.
