Samvardhana Motherson International reported a sharp 31.2% decline in consolidated net profit for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, posting ₹1,075.66 crore.
The drop in profitability occurred even as the auto components maker achieved record consolidated revenue of ₹35,243.77 crore, highlighting a significant margin compression.
This result marks a stark reversal from the previous quarter, where the company had reported a 46% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹1,561.
The company attributed the earnings miss to higher material costs, which weighed heavily on operating performance despite the top-line growth.
This result marks a stark reversal from the previous quarter, where the company had reported a 46% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹1,561.56 crore for the period ended March 2026.
