MRF Q1 Net Profit Declines 1.3% Amid Revenue Growth and Margin Pressure
Tyre maker MRF reported a 1.3% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 495 crore for Q1 FY27, despite a nearly 10% rise in revenue to Rs 8,415 crore. The profit dip was attributed to higher raw material costs, which increased total expenses to nearly Rs 7,961 crore. EBITDA fell about 7.5%, with margins contracting from 13.95% to 11.77%. Shares declined following the results, reflecting investor concerns over margin pressure amid revenue growth.
