According to Prabhudas Lilladher, with volumes declining around 2 per cent YoY (up 225 per cent QoQ) coupled with growth in expected realization by around 11 per cent YoY, TVS Motors’ Q2FY21 revenue is likely to grow 8.7 per cent YoY to Rs 4,724.6 crore. The bottom line is seen growing 19.5 per cent YoY to Rs 213.9 crore.

Nirmal Bang

Analysts at Nirmal Bang expect higher depreciation and tax rate to affect TVS Motors’ Q2 earnings, and, as a result, are building around 4 per cent increase in TVS Motors’ Q2 revenue at Rs 4,515.7 crore while profit after tax is seen contracting 13.2 per cent YoY to Rs 155.4 crore.

“Price increase on BS-VI products, partially offset by deteriorating mix (lower 3Ws and higher Moped share) is expected to lead to around 6 per cent YoY growth in average selling price (ASP).
