TVS Motor, Eicher gain up to 4% in weak market. What's driving 2W stocks?

Two-wheeler companies shares price today Shares of two-wheeler (2W) companies TVS Motor Company, Eicher Motors, Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto rallied up to 4 per cent on the BSE in Friday's intra-day trade in an otherwise subdued market. At 01:02 PM; these stocks were trading higher by up to 2 per cent. In comparison, the BSE Sensex was down 0.41 per cent and the BSE Auto index slipped 0.74 per cent. CATCH STOCK MARKET LIVE UPDATES What's driving 2-wheeler stocks today? The outperformance of 2W stocks today was seen after Eicher Motors and TVS Motor Company reported healthy earnings for the quarter ended June 2025 (Q1FY26). These companies also reported strong sales for the month of July. According to analysts, the domestic 2W industry growth is expected to be supported by improved consumer sentiment, a pickup in rural demand due to a normal monsoon, repo rate cuts, and improving liquidity. Demand in the international market is also improving gradually. Shares of Eicher Motors rallied 4 per cent to ₹5,669.85 as the company's margin performance on the standalone basis (Royal Enfield franchise) in June 2025 quarter (Q1FY6), came above analyst's expectations at 25.1 per cent (up 40 bps QoQ). Despite macroeconomic challenges, Eicher remains growth-focused, expanding the middleweight motorcycle segment and strengthening brand positioning globally. VECV outperformed the industry with record volumes, underpinned by strong execution, & market share gains across segments. Meanwhile, Eicher Motors reported a 31 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) increase in total motorcycle sales at 88,045 units for the month of July 2025. The company had sold 67,265 units in the month of July 2024. Eicher stands well-positioned to sustain its growth momentum, backed by a strong brand, disciplined cost control, and prudent capital allocation. Hence, we maintain a positive outlook on the company, expecting it to deliver double digit returns in the medium to long term, ICICI Securities said in a note. TVS Motors reported healthy performance in Q1FY26 with a 17.5 per cent Y-o-Y growth in total sales volume, at 1.28 million units. The company's operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin improved by 100bps at 12.5 per cent in Q1FY26 as against 11.5 per cent in Q1FY25. The company posted its highest profit before tax (PBT) of ₹1,053 crore recording a growth of 35 per cent for Q1FY26. Going forward the company expects an increase in commodity prices to the tune of 0.5 per cent while expecting strong growth from both domestic & export market in the coming festive season. A richer mix, higher operating leverage, and astute cost management are expected to drive margin performance. However, analysts at JM Financial Institutional Securities see a marginal impact on margin due to magnet constraints and commodity-linked cost inflation. Meanwhile, TVS Motor Company recorded monthly sales of 456,350 units in July 2025 with a growth of 29 per cent as against 354,140 units in the month of July 2024. In FY 2025-26, the Indian two-wheeler industry is poised to build upon the growth trajectory observed over the preceding three fiscal years. This optimistic outlook is underpinned by several factors, viz. a strengthening of rural demand, recovery of demand in the core motorcycle and scooter markets, a sustained acceleration in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), and an anticipated higher growth rate within the premium motorcycle segment, Hero MotoCorp said in FY25 annual report. Rural India continued to drive industry growth, with two-wheeler demand rising 8 per cent - outpacing urban markets. This was backed by good monsoons, higher MSPs for crops, and increased employment under government schemes, the company said.

Eicher Motors gains after Q1 PAT climbs 9% YoY to Rs 1,205 cr

Eicher Motors added 2.71% to Rs 5,618.75 after the company's consolidated net profit jumped 9.42% to Rs 1,205.22 crore in Q1 FY26 as against Rs 1,101.4 crore posted in Q1 FY25. Total revenue from operations rose 14.76% year on year to Rs 5,041.84 crore in the quarter ended 30 June 2025. Profit before tax (PBT) jumped 10.54% YoY to Rs 1,592.99 crore in Q1 FY26. The company reported an EBITDA of Rs 1,203 crore in Q1 FY26, marking a 3.26% year-on-year increase. However, the EBITDA margin declined to 23.9% in Q1 FY26, compared to 26.5% in Q1 FY25. During the quarter, Royal Enfield recorded sales of 261,326 motorcycles, representing a 14.7% increase from 227,736 units sold in Q1 FY25. VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) reported revenue from operations of Rs 5,671 crore in Q1 FY26, up 11.9% from Rs 5,070 crore in the same quarter of FY25. EBITDA for the quarter rose 32.6% to Rs 511 crore, compared to Rs 385 crore a year earlier. VECV sold 21,610 vehicles during the quarter, an increase from 19,702 vehicles sold in Q1 FY25. B Govindarajan, managing director of Eicher Motors and chief executive officer of Royal Enfield, commented on the companys performance, At Eicher Motors, we had a solid start to the year, with encouraging growth across both Royal Enfield and VECV. We continue to build consistent momentum in volumes, profitability, and the strength of our overall portfolio. At Royal Enfield, we sustained our growth momentum in the first quarter, driven by a continued focus on product innovation, immersive riding experiences, and a deeper expression of pure motorcycling. The refreshed Hunter 350 remains a key growth driver, both in terms of volumes and community engagement. Advancing our global ambitions, we strengthened our presence in the SAARC region and expanded our portfolio in Nepal with the locally assembled Classic 350. With a refreshed line-up of motorcycles and a growing ecosystem of curated rides and culture-first experiences, we are shaping a vibrant and inclusive motorcycling movement. VECV has also delivered consistent growth, supported by a strong product portfolio and a sharp understanding of Indias evolving commercial mobility needs. Our ongoing investment in sustainable and efficient transport solutions positions us well for the future. As we move forward, our commitment to long-term value creation remains strong driven by customer-centric innovation, global ambition, and meaningful brand experiences at every level. Vinod Aggarwal, MD and CEO of VECV and vice chairman of Eicher Motors, commented on VECVs performance: VECV delivered its best-ever first quarter with 21,610 units sold in Q1 FY26, up 9.7% year-on-year, broadening its footprint in a largely flat market. Overall market share improved to 18.7%, compared to 17.3% last year, driven by continued leadership in LMD trucks with a 34.5% share, and strong performance in buses, where total bus volumes grew 14.8% and market share rose to 21.5%. Exports increased by 20.5% over the previous year. Deliveries of the all-electric Eicher Pro X in the SCV segment (2.03.5T) continue to gain momentum. Heavy-duty volumes were marginally lower due to a smaller total market, despite market share gains. Our connected vehicle solution, My Eicher, now connects 150,000 customers, representing 350,000 vehicles. VECV reported strong revenue growth and expanded profit margins, supported by better volumes, pricing, and cost discipline. Profit after tax (PAT) was lower compared to the previous year, primarily due to a one-off impact in Q1 FY25 related to deferred tax reversal. Eicher Motors is the listed parent of Royal Enfield, the global leader in middleweight motorcycles. In addition to motorcycles, Eicher has a joint venture with Sweden's AB Volvo - Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles which operates in India's commercial vehicle space.
