Hero MotoCorp share gains ground despite muted Q1; what's next?
Hero MotoCorp share price, Q1 results: The world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp shares were in focus on Wednesday, defying broader market weakness despite a lacklustre Q1 performance. The stock rose as much as 2.29 per cent to hit an intraday high of ₹4,577.40. Around 10:00 AM, Hero MotoCorp share was trading 1.46 per cent higher at ₹4,540, even as the BSE Sensex slipped 0.29 per cent to 80,306.90. Q1 results: Muted but steady Hero MotoCorp reported a muted performance for the first quarter, with its standalone net profit rising marginally by 0.3 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹1,126 crore from ₹1,123 crore. Revenue declined 5.6 per cent to ₹9,579 crore compared to ₹10,144 crore in the same period last year. Ebitda also slipped 5.3 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹1,382 crore from ₹1,460 crore, while Ebitda margin remained flat at 14.4 per cent. Total sales volume stood at 13.67 lakh units for the quarter. Despite the muted headline numbers, the company continued to strengthen its product positioning. In scooters, the Destini 125 and Xoom 125 led the charge, while the HF Deluxe Pro expanded offerings in the 100cc segment. Its electric vehicle (EV) business under the VIDA brand maintained momentum, and international operations outpaced industry trends. Hero expects demand to remain healthy ahead of the festive season, backed by a robust product pipeline and steady retail demand, as seen in higher VAHAN registrations. 'Our profitability and margins remained resilient, supported by strong demand for our entry & deluxe motorcycles and scooters,' said Vivek Anand, CFO, adding that global and EV segments continued to show promising traction. Brokerage view: Cautious tone Jefferies reportedly retained its 'Underperform' rating on the stock with a target price of ₹3,330, noting that Q1 was weak but broadly in line with expectations. The flat profit was supported by higher other income, while the EV business showed encouraging signs. Technical view: Bullish breakout in play According to Sudeep Shah, vice president of technical research at SBI Securities, Hero MotoCorp has broken out of a key resistance zone between ₹4,460 and ₹4,490 on August 4. After some initial profit booking, the stock bounced back, with the resistance now acting as support. 'The RSI is tad above the 60 mark while the ADX, a key trend strength indicator, has been on the rising mode, which further reinforces the bullish view on the stock. The stock needs to hold and close above the ₹4,460 level. Follow up from the current level can lead to price moving towards ₹4,600 followed by ₹4,650 in the short term,' Shah added. Meanwhile, Ravi Singh, senior vice president of retail research at Religare Broking echoed the positive sentiment. He noted that Hero had been consolidating between ₹4,200 and ₹4,500 for two months and is now showing strength above the ₹4,500 level. A breakout of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern also suggests bullish momentum. Singh advises buying at current levels with a stop loss at ₹4,200 and a potential upside target of ₹5,000-₹5,200. While Hero's Q1 numbers lacked fireworks, the stock's technical setup and the company's strong presence across segments, including EVs, may continue to support investor interest. Analysts remain divided as some see upside ahead, while others remain cautious on valuations.

What to expect from the world's largest 2W manufacturer in Q1FY26 results?
Hero MotoCorp Q1 Preview: Hero MotoCorp, the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, is likely to announce its June quarter results for FY26 (Q1FY26) on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. The company is expected to report a muted performance, impacted by production disruptions in April and weak demand in the 110cc segment, analysts said. While a richer product mix and spares may aid average selling prices (ASPs), brokerages expect revenue to decline between 2 per cent and 4 per cent year-on-year. Margins are likely to remain under pressure due to lower volumes, high raw material costs, and new product launch expenses. Profit is estimated to fall 5-8 per cent Y-o-Y. Notably, Hero MotoCorp released robust July sales data on August 1. The company dispatched 449,755 units during the month, up 21 per cent from 370,274 units in July 2024. VAHAN retail registrations stood at 339,827 units in July, with retail activity showing stability across urban and rural markets. With the festive season ahead, volume momentum is expected to improve. In scooters, Destini 125 and Xoom 125 led market share gains. The HF Deluxe motorcycle portfolio was also expanded with the launch of the new HF Deluxe Pro, offering upgraded features and enhanced efficiency. Meanwhile, on the bourses, HeroMoto Corp shares were in demand, rising as much as 3.64 per cent to an intraday high of ₹4,469.75 per share. Around 1:15 PM, Hero MotoCorp share price was trading 3.40 per cent higher at ₹4,459.1. In comparison, BSE Sensex was trading 0.5 per cent higher at 81,004.97 levels. Check List of Q1 results today Given these developments, here's what top brokerages expect from Hero MotoCorp in Q1FY26: Kotak Institutional Equities Analysts at Kotak Institutional Equities expect Hero's revenue to decline by 2 per cent Y-o-Y in Q1FY26, led by a 12 per cent Y-o-Y fall in volumes due to production challenges in April and weak demand in the 110cc segment. However, average selling prices (ASPs) are seen rising 7 per cent Y-o-Y, driven by a richer product mix, including a higher share of premium bikes, spares, and exports. Ebitda margin is expected to contract 30 bps Y-o-Y to 14.1 per cent. Accordingly, net sales are forecast at ₹9,907.4 crore, down 2.3 per cent Y-o-Y, Ebitda at ₹1,393.7 crore (down 4.5 per cent Y-o-Y), and adjusted net profit at ₹1,067.8 crore (down 4.9 per cent Y-o-Y). Nuvama Those at Nuvama expect Y-o-Y revenue decline due to supply constraints impacting volumes. The brokerage also sees Ebitda margin contraction on account of lower operating leverage and higher product launch expenses. It highlighted the demand outlook as a key monitorable. Analysts project net sales at ₹9,764.1 crore, down 4 per cent Y-o-Y; Ebitda at ₹1,362.7 crore, down 7 per cent Y-o-Y; and adjusted PAT at ₹1,042.2 crore, down 7 per cent Y-o-Y. HDFC Securities HDFC Securities analysts expect realisations to fall 1 per cent Q-o-Q due to an unfavourable mix, with lower exports and higher contribution from entry-level motorcycles, though this is partially offset by rising EV volumes. Ebitda margin is expected to decline QoQ to 13.6 per cent owing to increased raw material costs and the adverse mix. Thus, revenue is projected at ₹9,743.2 crore, down 3.9 per cent Y-o-Y; Ebitda margin at 13.6 per cent, down 80 bps Y-o-Y; and PAT at ₹1,030.3 crore, down 8.2 per cent Y-o-Y.
