Bata India shares fall nearly 2% as Q1 profit plunges 70% YoY on muted demand
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 12, 2025, 09:43 IST Shares of Bata India Limited slipped 1.93% to Rs 1,160.60 on Tuesday after the company reported a steep 70% year-on-year (YoY) drop in its consolidated net profit for Q1 FY26. The stock traded between Rs 1,152.50 and Rs 1,177.50 during the session, giving the company a market capitalization of Rs 14,918 crore and a price-to-earnings ratio of 45.11. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, consolidated net profit fell to Rs 52 crore from Rs 174 crore in the year-ago period. Revenue from operations was marginally lower at Rs 941.85 crore compared to Rs 944.63 crore a year earlier. Total expenses rose to Rs 884 crore from Rs 878 crore in the same quarter last year, as higher costs and subdued consumer demand weighed on performance.

He noted that the company continued to push affordability initiatives across categories to drive volume-based growth, and expressed optimism about consumption recovery in the second half of the year.

Bata India Q1 Results: Net profit falls 70.13% YoY to Rs 51.99 crore, revenue marginally down
Bata India Limited announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Q1FY26), showing stable revenue but a sharp drop in profitability compared to the same period last year. Revenue from operations stood at ₹ 941.85 crore, marginally lower by 0.29% from ₹ 944.63 crore in Q1FY25. Including other income of ₹ 16.94 crore, total income reached ₹ 958.84 crore, almost unchanged from ₹ 961.21 crore a year ago. However, profits took a significant hit. Profit before exceptional items and tax dropped 10.02% to ₹ 74.85 crore. Profit before tax fell sharply by 67.72% to ₹ 70.07 crore, impacted by the absence of last year's one-time gain on sale of land. Net profit tumbled 70.13% to ₹ 51.99 crore from ₹ 174.06 crore in the year-ago quarter. Despite sluggish consumption trends, the company credited disciplined execution of its affordability strategy, investments in marketing and technology, and an enhanced customer experience for sustaining performance. Bata highlighted improved inventory efficiency in both quantity and quality, supported by better stock turns and forecast accuracy. The Zero Base Merchandising Project, now scaled to 194 stores, continued to deliver positive results in customer engagement and revenue per square foot. On the product front, Bata introduced the Tropical Breeze collection, Power Easy Slide, and Power Move+ lines, alongside the 'Ease, Please' campaign featuring brand ambassador Vir Das, promoting its new Office Sneakers range.
