Ather Energy shares surge 18% to 52-week high on strong Q1 show; can the EV maker sustain margin growth?

Electric two-wheeler manufacturer Ather Energy shares rallied around 18% during the morning market session on Tuesday, August 4, as investors focused on the company reducing its net losses in the April to June quarter results of FY2026-27 due to strong revenue growth.

Shares of Ather Energy surged nearly 18% to their intraday and 52-week high of ₹1,500 apiece on Tuesday’s market session, compared to ₹1,272.70 apiece at the previous equity market close, according to NSE data.

After touching the intraday high, Ather shares were trading 14.18% higher at ₹1,453.20 apiece on August 4.

Key focus of investors remained on the EV maker’s strong revenue growth, improvement in overall profitability and margins, along with the demand potential among electric two-wheelers in the Indian market.

The company management remained positive about the strong EV two-wheeler demand environment in the domestic market, with structural tailwinds from both government policy and shifting customer sentiment amid ethanol push.

Is there margin growth ahead?

After Q1 results, market experts said that Ather Energy’s margins successfully surpassed wider expectations in the June quarter results with the help of strong volume growth, policy and consumer support, despite commodity price headwinds in the market.

Analysts from CLSA said that the EV maker is expected to benefit from the recent price hikes and cost reduction measures, which will in turn help Ather to sustain its margin recovery and growth in the upcoming period.

“Upcoming Factory 3.0 (500k units pa) should remove this bottleneck from 3QFY27, while recent price hikes and cost reduction measures should aid margins going forward. The company’s EL platform launch during the festive period should help sustain volume momentum,” said CLSA experts.

In line with the estimates, analysts from leading investment firm HSBC said that Ather’s margin performance was driven by a surprisingly sharp reduction in other expenses, while the management stays confident of strong volume growth and market share recovery with new capacity operation.

Japanese investment major Nomura analysts said that the margin growth exceeded their expectations in the Q1 earnings report, and the EV maker’s EL launch and new plant will be the next catalyst for growth in the upcoming period.
