Suzlon Energy Q1 Earnings Drag Stock Lower
Suzlon Energy shares fell sharply on Wednesday, August 13, dropping nearly 4.5% to ₹60.32 apiece after the renewable energy firm’s June quarter earnings failed to excite investors. Despite showing growth across key segments, the stock reacted negatively to the results and management changes.
Strong Revenue Growth, But Profit Disappoints
The company reported a 54% year-on-year (YoY) jump in consolidated revenue at ₹3,117 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to ₹2,016 crore in the same period last year.
- The wind turbine segment led the charge, surging 67% to ₹2,496 crore.
- Revenue from the foundry and forgings division also rose to ₹149 crore, up from ₹91 crore.
However, net profit grew only 7.2% YoY to ₹324 crore, against ₹302 crore in the same quarter of FY25 far below market expectations.
Operational Performance at a Glance
On the operational front, Suzlon posted a 60% rise in EBITDA at ₹585 crore in Q1 FY26, supported by a positive inventory adjustment worth ₹550 crore. The EBITDA margin expanded 70 basis points to 18.78%.
Sequentially, though, performance weakened:
- Revenue fell 18% from ₹3,773 crore in the March quarter.
- Net profit plunged 72% QoQ, as the previous quarter had seen a one-time ₹600 crore writeback that boosted profits to ₹1,180 crore.
CFO Resignation Adds to Market Jitters
Adding to the concerns, Suzlon Energy announced the resignation of its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Himanshi Mody, who had joined the firm in 2021. The company has not yet named a replacement.
