📈 Stock & Performance Overview

📈 Stock & Performance Overview CEAT has been trading close to its 52-week highs, supported by strong earnings and volume growth. The stock has delivered strong 1-year returns, driven by margin improvement and healthy demand across segments. Over the past few years, CEAT has steadily improved profitability after earlier raw-material–cost pressures. 📰 Latest Company Developments 1. Strong Quarterly Results CEAT reported significant growth in net profit recently, driven by better operational efficiency, higher volumes, and stable raw-material costs. Revenue has seen double-digit growth, especially in passenger car tyres and 2-wheeler tyres. 2. Rising Demand Across Segments Replacement demand (especially for bikes, cars, SUVs) remains strong. OEM demand has also improved thanks to better auto sales in India. Export volumes are increasing, supporting overall growth momentum. 3. Expansion of Manufacturing Capacity CEAT is investing heavily to expand capacity, particularly in premium passenger-car radials and truck/bus radials. These expansions are aimed at capturing growing domestic demand and strengthening export capabilities. 4.

This has boosted gross margins, allowing CEAT to post much stronger profitability compared to previous years. ✅ Positives / Strengths Strong presence in 2-wheeler, passenger car, and off-highway tyre categories.
