Robust Financial Results: 120 Companies Post Over 100% Jump in Profit in Q1 FY25
Real Estate:If stock prices are slaves to earnings in the long run, then it makes sense to look for companies that have reported robust financial results for the quarter ended June 30. Data available shows that at least 120 firms have witnessed more than 100% growth in net profit in Q1FY25, and market analysts are bullish on a couple of firms at their current prices.

Among the well-known names on the list, the net profit of food delivery aggregator Zomato climbed manifold to Rs 253 crore during the quarter under review. It reported a profit of Rs 2 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.

According to Emkay Global Financial Services, Zomato once again churned out impressive results, with all segments registering healthy growth. For food delivery, the management sees gross order value growth sustaining at over 20% in the near term, slightly lower than in the last few quarters. Blinkit’s stellar growth is complemented by continued improvements in profitability, where it sustained adjusted EBITDA breakeven despite investing in new stores.

Shakti Pumps (India) stood next on the list, reporting a net profit of Rs 92.66 crore for the quarter ended June 2024 against Rs 1 crore in Q1FY24. The company continues to maintain a healthy order book of around Rs 2,000 crore as of June, which is expected to be implemented in the next 15 months.

Net profit of Multi Commodity Exchange increased by 464% YoY in Q1FY25, Adani Enterprises by 116% and Geojit Financial Services by 112%. State-owned lenders Punjab National Bank and UCO Bank also posted 196% and 147%, respectively, rise in net profit in Q1FY25.

Real estate players including Macrotech Developers and Godrej Properties reported a 166% and 316%, respectively, rise in net profit in the June quarter. Brokerage Sharekhan has set a target price of Rs 140 for Punjab National Bank, citing improvement in asset quality and strong outlook.

Suzlon Energy witnessed 200% growth in net profit at Rs 302.29 crore in Q1FY24 against Rs 100.90 crore in the same quarter last year. ICICI Securities said that Suzlon Energy has reported an all-round beat in Q1FY25 with WTG volume of 274MW (up 2x YoY). Order inflow has remained healthy at 1.2GW in Q1, taking the order book to 3.8GW as of Jun 2024.

Geojit Financial Services recently initiated coverage on Suzlon with a target price of Rs 73, citing a de-levered, optimized, profit-making business which has done away with its troubled past and is looking at a vibrant landscape of opportunities in India and abroad.

Other companies that reported over 100% growth in net profit during the quarter under review include Jubilant Pharmova, Lotus Chocolate Company, Greenply Industries, Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India, Sastasundar Ventures, AGS Transact Technologies, Shah Metacorp, Transcorp International, Maharashtra Scooters, Gujarat Cotex, and many more.
