🟢 POSITIVE ⭐ 8/10

EARNINGS 📅 19 Jan 2026, 11:07 PM

CEAT Limited reported a strong operational performance for Q3 FY26, with consolidated revenue rising 26% YoY to ₹4,157.1 crore, driven by healthy volume growth across all segments.

However, PAT saw a sequential decline of 16.3% to ₹155.4 crore, primarily due to a one-time exceptional provision of ₹58 crore for new labor code compliance. The company maintains a healthy balance sheet with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.62x and continued its capital expenditure with an outflow of ₹254 crore during the quarter.

Consolidated revenue reached ₹4,157.1 crore, up 26.0% YoY and 10.2% QoQ.
