Hero MotoCorp shares jumped 4.5% to touch their intraday high of ₹4,674.90 apiece on Thursday, August 7, as the two-wheeler maker expects demand to remain healthy in the coming quarters with the upcoming festive season and a robust line-up of new products.

The company on Wednesday reported a flat standalone net profit growth at ₹1,126 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Q1 FY26), as compared to ₹1,123 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.

The EBITDA margin was also flat at 14.4% as against 14.3% YoY.

On a consolidated basis, Hero MotoCorp’s revenue and profit after tax (PAT) were ₹9,728 crore and ₹1,706 crore, respectively.

The consolidated profit for the quarter includes a one-time gain of ₹722 crore on account of the dilution of the company's share investment in associates consequent to the public issue and private placement.

Commenting on the performance, Vivek Anand, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Our profitability and margins remained resilient, supported by strong demand for our entry & deluxe motorcycles and 125cc scooter segments. We are witnessing good traction in our electric mobility business (VIDA), and global operations also remained ahead of the industry, reflecting the strength of our brand in international markets.”

“With favourable customer sentiment, the upcoming festive season and a robust pipeline of new product launches, we are confident of sustaining and driving growth in the coming quarters,” Anand further added.
